  1. Ah I've got 50s and they are an XL and extremely stiff sidewall. I didn't notice any squealing. Maby I wasn't going as fast as you, after all u are boosted.
  2. Car looks stunning dude. You were at blyton the day after me. Why didn't you like the ns2r. That's what I've got on mine. I thought they were good once hot but took about 2 laps to get them hot enough for maximum send.
  3. Also I've got this at the moment but it will be for sale soon.
  4. One of the aerodecks I forgot to mention I had a few years ago
  5. Yeah it was a bit of a mess after coming off track. Here are the pics after it happened haha. The window was open slightly too so while going sideways through the field it filled the car with grass. I'm also surprised my tyre didn't pop off the bead.
  6. Well I actually span 3 times. First time was my first lap, tyres were not hot enough and that's when I cracked my trailing arm which made it very tail happy for the rest of the day. 2nd time was to hard on the brakes and it span round and punted a hay bail and 3rd time was my last lap of the day through the very fast s bend near the last corner, because of not having much experience on track I was letting people past all day, came out of that s with a mx5 on my chuff so pulled to the left to let him passed, big mistake, car went sideways right over to that big grass banking and over the banking sideways and came off the other side backwards. I really thought the car was going to roll when I hit that. The marshals said it made their day as they have never seen such an off haha. Car was a bit bent from the front tow eyes digging into the ground but I've managed to straighten it using some 4x4s haha.
  7. Thanks bud. I will add some more that I didn't get round to posting last night. Yeah goes very well specially with what is pretty much a ek9 gearbox. A lot of fun.
  8. Thanks mate. Yeah had a few. That's not quite all of them yet tho. Ran out of time last night.
  9. I attended Mimms again last weekend too and once again not one other mb came. There was a couple of aerodecks there but that was it.
  10. Swapped my numberplate surround back to the green one the other day as I got board of black and didn't like the fake carbon one I had.
  11. Oh just before the track day I smashed a hole in my 4-1 crap speed manifold so had to buy a new one so got this srs toda rep 421
  12. Here is the track day pics from blyton Park. Had an absolutely awesome day however I did spin off the track and crack my trailing arm.
  13. Exactly that mate. I hadn't got round to getting a cooler so I just bunged up the ports not knowing any different
  14. I recently had a track day coming up so needed to get some stuff done. Had the rear arb from the vti powder coated and bought some brand new L brackets bushes and links and got it fitted. I also fitted the front vti arb when I built the car. It also has 282mm mgzs disks and new 282 front calipers with ebc blue stuff pads and some braided lines. Also my cv boots were b****red so got some new shafts from j&r. It also got some fresh millars nanodrive 10w40 oil and a hamp filter and some fresh mtf3 box oil
  15. My k sport coilovers were pretty b****red so it was time for a change so I picked up some Hsd momopro coilovers which sit much lower than the ksports and a brand new set of white Pro race 3s which I'd been after for a while
  16. I had to find some better wheels so came across these pro race 1.2s. Love them and they suit the car. Still got them now too
  17. The wheels I had on were borrowed so had to quickly find some more so picked up these horrible old tsws
  18. I then had all the panels to swap over from the old car as I didn't like the dark green and it didn't come with wings anyway.
  19. Anyway after I got it home it was all cleaned up and poured some oil through it and cranked it over by hand to make sure it was OK. I put a new cambelt kit on it and Waterpump, the rocker cover from the b18, got some nice Magnacore kv85 leads and swapped the s4c gearset into the s9b casing. Also got a full mongoose exhaust system and japspeed manifold to go with it and in it went.
  20. I then remembered my mate had a b16a2 sat in his garage for years, 14 years to be exact. So I gave him a call and went to pick it up. Also got the s4c gearbox with it
  21. I then got it In bits to see if I could salvage anything but no. It was all gone. Here's what one of the bearings looked like
  22. I didn't make it to work or make it to the test station. I made a huge mistake thinking it had wiring issues and drove it with the oil light on. It managed 27 miles until it died. That's it. The 74k miles healthy none smoking b18 was dead. I was gutted. Starved it of oil because I'd fitted a sandwich plate and blocked it off by mistake.
