I took the little Nova racing at Castle Combe last weekend, back out in the Hot Hatch series. I missed out on Pole by a couple of tenths but still got in front on lap one. A mega race commenced with a local lad in his K20 EG Civic until I missed a shift and he got by.

I had to do some work to catch up and it took some time but I did manage and passed him again. I was leading into the last lap but then made a mistake and hit the wall. Josh in the EG took the win and the lap record. It’s no slouch that car and very well driven.
I patched the car up and got back out for race two. Similar story we traded the lead a few times but on lap 12 of 15 I took it back and held onto it for the win by just 0.288 making it one a piece.
Race two there was less than half a second between us for the full 20mins so pretty intense.

The car is Ok, needs a Gearbox rebuild, a bumper a wing and a headlight but I’m not overly concerned about that.
Video below is well worth a watch. Shame there was no rear cam as he was right behind me for the first half of the race. Race two is up on my YouTube page as well but its not such a good watch.

It’s a shame about the finishing on the grass but your car flys I love the way the engine revs does the civic run a camera as it would be nice to see your on the outside

The Civic has front and rear cameras so providing they recorded he will normally integrate them. I’ll post a link if he decides to publish it as that would be a good watch too.
Some nice track action going on here. Like it. :d :thumb:
Still at it. I took the car back out in September for Grand Finals day at Castle Combe. In just two qualifying laps I secured pole, then a wheel broke free.

It did some damage but managed to get the car out 4 hours later and led from start to finish for a win by 5 seconds, second and third were K20 Civic’s driven by local guys.

The car is covered up for the winter now and some new dampers are in the process of being drawn up.
I have played with the idea of replacing the rear suspension with something more racey. This will fit but maybe a job for some other time.

Back out in Feb testing then hopefully racing again in April.

Any idea why the wheel came off?
Yes all four studs sheared off. They had done a fair bit of work and being a predominantly clockwise driving car Gave way. I assume one went, then two and so on.Quote:

Looks interesting! What is the rear axle assembly off? Looks like a major job to fit, modifying the floor pan will be involved by the looks of it.Quote:
