Ta lads.

Yeah tax is a bit of a killer but it's only once a year! (that's what I keep telling myself to make it sound better :lol

Petrol can be 'ok' when driving normally, but around town it's quite bad really, but as I don't drive it alot it doesn't bother me too much!

Well I haven't updated this for a very long time so I don't really know where to start but here goes

Still can't figure out where to put my Ring sticker lol



Might buy one that can go in the window and make a track diary of the ones I've done lol

I got my wheels refurbed as the laquer was peeling and a couple of kerb marks





Sealed with Poorboys Wheels Sealant and boy were they shiny



I went to Santa Pod again for USC and ran up the strip again, got a better time than before with a 14.7 which I'm very happy with! (I'm on the right of the times)



Sitting in the queue



Also this video might make you laugh lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhmmJQOXRDE

Went on a tunnel run with some people off here and they took some pics of my car







Also did Silverstone at Trax a couple of weekends ago





Was an excellent track and my favourite so far, had lots of comments saying how fast the MPS looked out there and I overtook loads of cars but didn't get overtaken This is a video somebody else was doing, I come into it @ 40 and soon disappear lol

http://www.vimeo.com/14730675#

Then weekend just gone I had a session booked at Castle Combe but it turned into such nice weather I booked another one on the day. The first session was alot more enjoyable for me as you can see in the videos. Apologies for the bad sound quality, gotta sort that out as I can never get it right, it's either too quiet or too loud and you get interference!!

Got this pic:



Ordered these a couple of weeks ago, won't get them fitted for at least a week but I cannot wait! I didn't expect them to have so many adjustments! Once they're fitted I'm going to look for somebody with a decent reputation to setup them up for some sort of fast road/basic track setup





Never seen these sort of adjusters on the bottom of the rear dampers?



And just some random pics to finish it off



New paradas...



And after some track time lol







My 2 babies



This is to remind you of the height before coilovers, I'll do a similar shot once they're fitted

Just above the tyre would look spot on as it already seems to be quite low as standard.

Wheels painted or powder coated. How do they cope with tyre changes if there painted. Only asking as I need to do mine and having them painted is much easier option.

They're painted mate. I haven't had a tyre changed yet, will be soon though so we'll see lol. I'll probably get my mate to do them who did the wheels for me, as they'll look after the wheels more than a monkey in a garage.

Also found a nice little crack in the join of the backbox so cracked the welder out.





So pleased with it, and it handles so much better

Yer mate that'd be me. What car were u in? Had a pretty mental drive home with my mate in his Cupra R

I don't think I was in Crayford at any point though but I know of a red one that lives around there so u might have seen him but his wheels are silver
