Hello trackdaynova :)
What a transformation the garage looks so much brighter :thumb: and the car parts look good aswell ;)
Have a good day oll's
Hope everythings going well for you Olly :)
Olz, you told me about a way to measurement for lowness.. Did you find what a standard hight is?
look like shes coming along mate deffo
wanted:
passenger headlight,
passenger wing mirror,
passenger wing round mk1,
passenger door,
passenger rear quarter
i'll let m17tty or nova ian post the pics
wtf? bit of an off? i have a mint and i mean mint passenger door
Oh dear. Have you made contact with something?!
Uh oh! :(
it's ok lads, no one was hurt which is the main thing.
we were top of 5th gear heading up Park Straight, heading into Park Corner, hit the brakes locked up, let off, jammed it down a gear, locked up, car stalled, pulled handbrake up to kill some MPH's but still hit.
i don't really need any of the above, just the door really, just gonna roll with how it sits, its all cosmetic :thumb:
meanwhile, here are some pre-contact pictures looking rather good after i spent ages polishing up the wings, and heatgunning the 'one-piece' bumper lol

"how low can you go? can you go down low". car handled much better than it ever has done before

looks stunning looking rather low aswell glad the mods you have done have made it better
The main thing is your ok mate !
Car looks good in the pics though, was Specky there today ? how did he get on !
Specky was there, he was loving it - gonna be building himself a track car after today... proper hyped up he was!
Spent most of the day chatting actually, as we were parked up next to each other :thumb:
Good stuff, glad to see he is using his car for other things even if its a bit mental for trackwork. VERY suprised he passes noise test though lol
Sorry, mislead you - he was there in his MG ZS company car, not the Tigra
Panel damage is not bad really, all the matters is you did not injure yourself.
Sorry to hear about your off Olly, good news that no harm(apart from panels) was done though.
Looks cool as fook in those pics.
aye - tis what happens when you push hard :D lol
Main thing is that your ok, and second is that you were driving it how it should be driven. These things happen unfortunatly :(
Part's should be easy sourced. Get some nice Lightweight rust door's, depending on how rotten they are, they could be lighter than fiberglass!! Plus you can then enter rat look show's lol.
A couple of panel damage pics.............

Looks Gangsta if you ask me!!!!:roll:
That would really just upset someone even more if it passed them on track :) It should be sponsored by Kleenex!!
Well what can I say, very eventful day and shocking weather even at 4am this morning when I got up! (On a church day!!lol )
First of all want to say big thanks for the invite today and the passenger ride, had a wicked day (and nice to meet Countvauxalot too:thumb: )
As for the mishap, here are the results, wet track, fast entry and grass with a nova thrown into the equation equals

It could of been worse, much worse.
At least you didn't go front end first into it.
Doesn't look so bad after the panels were 'persuaded' to pop back out lolQuote:

Spoke to Specky earlier, he told me you'd had an off - glad the damage doesn't appear to be anything more than panels! Deffo not touched the suspension?
Give me a shout if you need any gen bits from Vaux... :)
loon rear arches ? lol
deffo not touched anything but panels fortunately :thumb:, thinking about it pulling the handbrake up was the best desicion I made, as it sent the car sideways, which caused cosmetic damage only
front on would have been worse, as would front corner, with bonnet, grill, tiebars, bumper, rad, suspension, chassis etc
Hmmm persuaded being a reebok classic trainer and a big metal bar!!!!!!!lolQuote:

Loving the selection of persuading tools shown in the picture above :thumb:
I'd leave the panels as they are, looks cool IMO :cool:
Oooh dear! Glad everyone involved is OK anyway.
Loon rear arches; seconded.
My god - just thought Olz, is the fuse holder ok?? :eek:
