. i wouldnt get your hopes up.
Did you do Fintray this year? Looking good
Yeah I was at fintray hillclimb. It Was a great weekend and the weather was lovely. I was a bit shakey at first but once I got settled in my times got increasingly quicker. I managed a 37.21 which im more than happy with. The other cars in my class were all a higher displacement than me but still managed to beat a 1.9gti which was around the same tuned state as mine. I was about 1 second off an RX8 coming second and about 4 seconds away from my mates 220hp clio who won first place. The fact the car didnt have a limited slip diff was losing me time. Two out of the three bends are tight and it was just spinning up the inside wheel. It was hard to carry speed through the bend and have traction on the way out.
I thought i was going to get chucked off because the marshals were complaining that i was dropping oil at the starting line. it turned out that when i was heating my tyres and brakes up the fuel was surging forward and comming out the tank overflow. I have to run a full tank because i havnt fitted a swirl pot yet. A 6mm bolt up the overflow stopped that.
my times were dead close to the 106gti and the saxo in the class above me so i know im around where iwant to be. once i fit the sccr LSD gearox ill expect to see chunks of time coming off my runs.
heres a few pics.
Looks really cool with those wheels. Well doneLSD next then?
it is nice to see a project when it is finished. i agree with the above comments, the car really does suit those wheels.
Superb mate. Glad it went well for you
I'll try and do all the Aberdeenshire ones then maybe doune at the end of the year if I have the guts.
