Seemed to miss you all day at knockhill. Every time I was out you were in and vice versa.

Car looked sweet but and sounded very nice. What exhaust system have you got?

Was it you that had the bump?
 
  Clio 172 Cup; A3 3.2
if you mean a spin, yes twice. just on track tho, didnt go off.

powerflow box and a decat of some sort. not really sure about the ins and outs, cause they came with the car. although the decat wasnt fitted yet. on tickover it sounds as if the exhaust has a hole in it, but once driving it does sound good!

I think everyone had a spin at some point. I had 2 as well.

Someone went into the barrier just after the chicane and the session was red flagged. It was a Clio 172 cup I think and when he came back to the pit lane the bumper was hanging off. Think it got fixed and was back on track in no time.

Where did you get the cage from?

Cheers,
Steven

yeah i actually saw that; was quite close behind him. was the guy with the pressed plates. he had tape over his front plate.

cage is a 6 point bolt-in from oreca, bought from K-tec. nice one and fits well. was a bit bend in transit, but fits well! very similar to the omp one but cheaper!
mind that the harness bar was welded in seperately.

Next on my list is the cage along with a yozza exhaust so need to look at this one.

Always wondered why they were so reasonably priced but if you think the quality is as good it's worth considdering.

Any other track days planned at knockhill?

yeah. next one on june 9th. gonna try and do a few. mainly via trackscotland
deffo ecommend the cage. fairly easy fit, although you need to weld in the plates, which i cant do myself, but if you kknow somebody... the rest is fairly straight fwd. good service from k-tec and a little discount from here too... :approve:
