Picked this up today, just run out of MOT but would pass with very little work... Anyway that's not important, is getting ripped apart and turned into something that can be spanked on track and (hopefully!) cost very little in the process! Car was £500, already sold the roof for £100, wheels...

Afternoon all, Just thought I'd share a vid from Sunday... It was my first sprint event but somehow managed to get 2nd fastest time of the day overall, despite nearly stalling it off the line like a r****d, there being quite a few experienced guys there with a lot more power and / or a lot less...

Hello all, Did a couple of races at Mallory this Sunday just gone. Qualified 3rd in class then it peed down so we had a wet Race 1, which was awesome fun! I managed to get a good start for a change and stayed ahead for a win. Race 2 was pretty much dry (video to come), but again got a decent...

Evening all, Here's a couple of short vids from Curborough today. First one is taking a fellow Westfield owner out: And a shorter one: For reference/info, top of 2nd gear is 75mph and top of 3rd is 107. Hoping this is more interesting than my last vid which was...

Morning, Here's my vid from a recent day at Anglesey, I think there were a few of you chaps there too? First 2 mins are going sideways / nearly falling off the track, then it's a couple of laps (sideways at most corners): Cheers, Adam

Hello all, Went to Rockingham on Sunday and made good use of the nice weather! First time I've driven the track and found it really good, nice flow and interesting. Driving wasn't great (too much 'chopping' at the wheel and odd lines at times) but had fun anyway! I blame the knackered rear...

Hello all, Yet another video from me... sorry. This time at Blyton Park. Weather forecast was good but typically it was wrong! 'Timeline': First minute or so: Going sideways 1:12 onwards: Some nearly dry laps, but tyres refused to get any heat in them. 6:05 onwards: Gradually wetter...

Morning all, Went to Cadwell on Saturday and had an awesome time! The rain didn't stop all day (and turned to snow by the end) meaning it was pretty slippery... The first ~half is me (and others) going sideways / getting it wrong, then the second half is a couple of clear laps. Cheers, Adam

Hello people, Went to Oulton yesterday and had a cracking day! Done a lot of suspension / handling work on the car over winter and it's really paid off. Felt like a dog before but now it's a pleasure to pedal Couple of vids... Single lap (works out about 1:55.5 from Dentons to Dentons...

Start: Me doing it wrong Middle: Data overlay, trying to learn to 'drive the circle' more effectively, harder than it sounds... End: A few laps chasing one of the guys I race with in his standard MX-5 on road tyres, wiggling around all over the place!

Hello, Random little video from Bylton Park at the weekend, testing out Racechrono (for Android) and a cheapo eBay GPS doofer. Worked out the car was running almost exactly 120bhp/ton (including fuel and passenger) so wondered if I'd be able to lap in 1 minute 20. Random I know :o But if that...

Hello, Here's a vid from Saturday at Oulton. Was freezing cold all day, and rain overnight meant the track was pretty dodgy early on! It dried throughout the day to end up with an almost fully dry line. The vid is pretty long... The first bits are most entertaining I think, then maybe the...

Hello all, Here's a couple of vids from this weekend... If you haven't got much time, the 2nd half of race 2 is the best stuff I think. I'll work out a 'highlights' list later... Race 1: Cut short cos of a little dink... Race 2: If there's not a lot happening out front, look at the rear...

A few pics from our work day out... Me driving, Cap as passenger: Cap driving, Stan passenger: Stan driving, Claire as passenger: How not to do it (we all did this plenty of times, haha): Very nearly how not to do it! (Cap driving) Lots of filthy BMWs were there... And I...

A good day out as always - a few bits of dubious driving as you always get at Oulton, but no major incidents :)

Had a cracking day - car is frustratingly slow on the straights though, haha, 115bhp just won't cut it on a big track...

My Octavia vRS for sale - awesome car, but not being used enough to justify keeping it :( http://cgi.ebay.co.u...em=221078274432 Any questions, give me a shout on here or the 'Bay :) Cheers, Adam

My first drift day, footage from the morning when I was crap, camera died before lunch Still, awesome fun! The surface is deliberately low friction, then they wet it, so it's very easy to get sideways And you barely wear anything of your tryes (less than 0.5mm a day). Would love to have...

Foreword: This is a copy and paste from a different forum, so it may seem a little out of context at points, but it seems a few CS members are interested too so hopefully it will be useful info :) Hello all, After reading Alan's blog on mx5nutz forum (here), I decided it would be good to do...

Some clips from Anglesey on Saturday. Quite a few Clios out and about, there should be 1 or 2 clips in this vid. Skip to 6:50 if you want to see me getting it wrong :o Thanks to Apex Trackdays for the top organisation and friendly atmosphere :)

Hello all, Having a clear out and got some 172 Cup interior on eBay, still at 99p with no reserve: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-172-Cup-Interior-inc-Door-Cards-airbag-radio-speakers-seatbelts-/220968401256 Any questions, just shout! Cheers, Adam

Hi gents, After a second opinion on these pads please... They have done one track day and a few (maybe 100) road miles. Box specified no bed in required but I did the usual 60-15mph medium stops a few times to get them warm and scrub them in to the disc. They work perfectly well but the edges...

Hello all, Got some pretty high outside edge tyre wear going on at the rear on my 172 Cup when on track, after a bit of advice/feedback if poss please... I have 1 deg camber shims both sides, which should put the camber around -2.5 (although realistically I think one is 2.5 and the other is...

Was at Oulton on Friday, saw a few Clios, shared a garage with a 197 and a 182 - anyone on here? Cheers, Adam

Hello all, Currently have some front Carbone Lorraine RC5s on. Their performance is perfect - zero fade (4" ducts), as much power as I needed every single stop hot and cold. Not bothered about dust and noise... However, the backing has parted company from the braking material :nono: Found this...

Pretty damn wet most of the day, but car went very well and the tyres (Federal 595 RS-Rs) were awesome again :) Aquaplaning through Craner was pretty fun!

Evening all, I bought some camber bolts for my 172 Cup to dial in some negative camber as the car has been eating outsides edges of the front tyres on track (29-30psi with Federal 595 RSR). Before going ahead, I decided to check the geo - however, it wasn't quite what I expected, especially...

Spent a bit more time on editing this time and got some more camera views too, hopefully a more interesting watch! Loved the track, and the 2-hour downpour we had in the middle of the day was awesome, such a good challenge in the wet. Will be back! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUDeOKWNAGQ...

P1: Check out the aero paint... P2: Bit of rain! Spray from just one car: Chilling at camp site on Friday evening Q1 - Renaults seemed to have a lot more body roll than other cars. RBs and Ferraris were visibly much faster through here than anyone else...
