	Yeah definately, way too much hassle though.

	I reckon that it would be worth more to you in bits if you were to sell looking at the spec
Steve X16XE	posted on 22nd Mar 08 at 11:13
	It'll beat my Corsa round the track anyway.
Butler	posted on 22nd Mar 08 at 10:26
	Should be interesting to say the least.

	No not drunk mate - this is how I read it... 2 can play the quotey game... quote: Originally posted by Paul_J [Butler] I still wager on your car being one of the quickest around combe on 19th. [in the WR session] quote: Originally posted by Butler Im pretty adamant I wont live up to that statement mate! quote: Originally posted by Steve X16XE from that spec you'll not be the fastest mph car on the track quote: Originally posted by Paul_J dunno Steve, it's got a really short ratio gearbox, completely stripped, still a 1.6 (though 8v) I think it'll still pull 110-115 easy down the main straight. + and due to the lightness, the diff and the short ratio it'll be quick out of slow places like the chicane. quote: Originally posted by Paul_J refering to our WR session... I think the quickest there in a straight line is a let corsa and a VXR astra? that's how i read it steve. P.s. butlers car probably weighs max 800kg.
Steve X16XE	posted on 22nd Mar 08 at 02:17
	Oh and what do these things weigh?
Steve X16XE	posted on 22nd Mar 08 at 02:15
	You said..... quote: Originally posted by Paul_J At least your car is 100% tracked up... mine's a compromise... quote: Originally posted by Butler Im pretty adamant I wont live up to that statement mate! quote: Originally posted by Steve X16XE i bet it'll hold the speed through and out of the corners therefore be one of the quickest. He's doubting his pug saying that isn't not the fastest thing that going to be out on a track day. I'm saying that it might not be the fastest top speed car out there but it'll rival cars that could be double the power of what his pug is coz he's got the brakes and sus sorted out 1st which i think is the most important thing that you can do. Plus are you drunk? :lol: :lol:

	oh right I was refering to our WR session... think the quickest there in a straight line is a let corsa and a VXR astra?
Steve X16XE	posted on 22nd Mar 08 at 01:53
	Yeah, but i was leaving my statement open to some car that has 700bhp and does 150 on the straights for an Eg. However the average speed for the full lap won't be far off. Thats what i was meaning.

	and due to the lightness, the diff and the short ratio it'll be quick out of slow places like the chicane.

	dunno Steve, it's got a really short ratio gearbox, completely stripped, still a 1.6 (though 8v) I think it'll still pull 110-115 easy down the main straight.
Steve X16XE	posted on 22nd Mar 08 at 00:37
	I don't know about that Butler, from that spec you'll not be the fastest mph car on the track but i bet it'll hold the speed through and out of the corners therefore be one of the quickest. You've done the main things for a perfect cheap track car, brakes and suspention.
Butler	posted on 21st Mar 08 at 22:56
	Cant really insure a second car though, nor afford to run one on top of the 106. Im pretty adamant I wont live up to that statement mate!
Paul_J	posted on 21st Mar 08 at 22:14
	At least your car is 100% tracked up... mine's a compromise... but the problem is, I have the annoyances from semi tracking it up, on my daily drive like loud noise and bumpy suspension, with the compromises on track enjoyment, like not being fully stripped, lack of bucket seats, on semi slicks or caged. I still wager on your car being one of the quickest around combe on 19th. [Edited on 21-03-2008 by Paul_J]

	Id be happy with 2.5k
MGM	posted on 21st Mar 08 at 17:33
	2.5, 3k I'd say. Mods don't normally add value but I'm sure someone off the Rallye Reg or 106OC would rip your arm off for it

	Here are some pics of my car from about a month ago, these pics were taken prior to getting various work done on it.
