Looks good on track mate, seems to stick in the corners well
Popped open the tailgate yesterday to find my battery tray is looking a bit dodgy lol Think the battery must be leaking! Horrible white powder everywhere!

Cleaned up the outside with 60 grit, 180 grit and then 400 grit and it's come up alright, phewph. New battery also (Halfords trade card ftw!)

Spaced the battery up slightly with some black painted wood underneath it to try and stop it moving about at all:

See you all at Billing tomorrow :)
OK tackling one of the two trackday downfalls, I picked up a set of Cesaros which I'll be seeking some slicks/R888s for:

And for everyone who said my Revolution wheels look like Cesaros, they're right, haha lol

Will update when I have tyres!
Why go black! put your neck out, make them red or something! color code to other parts on the car mate, it makes it stand out from the crowd on track etc..
As for battery, i say go dry cell, no need to charge if you have cut off as mines still kicking strong since 07 and it's never been charged in my possession.

I was pondering red but black won due to ease of touchups, ease of good quality finish, no need to wash them as often as don't look as dirty from brake dust etc.
It has a cutoff however the car is left alarmed all week. Have fitted a new Halfords battery but I'll look into dry cell if it kills another one.
Sod an alarm, remove the ecu/ take cut of key with you, and then place it under a cover etc, or in a garage no need for draining alarm mate, but dry cell is IMO the best thing Ive ever bought for mine, i know what your saying about wheels, but as long as the finish is good, and you wash the dust of after most use's you'll be ok.
I recognise those wheels ,if you are after some trackday tyres i have some worn acb10s that you can have for £10 each which is what i payed for them,they are well worn but ok for trackdays .Car is looking good on track Ian, if you do a trackday down south let me know and i will come out for a play.

Oh they're your old ones? Got 'em off Alan.

Planning another one or two at Donington first to get my confidence up then might venture down your way!
Those Revolution wheels look great Iain, as does the car. Never seen them on a Nova before. :thumb:
