Afternoon gents

For those of you that may not have seen my project update, thought i'd share these 2 little vids of the Pug on track - 160k miles on the clock, 180 miles on track and 220 mile round trip without a hiccup!



Dry Lap (not my best, it was the first session out and i expected too much from my new RSR tyres so I am first to admit turn in is way too aggressive, but gets better as the day goes on....



Wet Lap towards the end of the day was one of my best, keeping up with a track prepared E46 M3 (as you can see not on the straights lol)



Such great cars, hope we can get a few of us on track at some point....

Fair play. That's some quick laps and the car holds it so well! Really are under estimated.

Out of interest what do you use for recording and as the data logger?

It's an app called Harry's Laptimer and it's pretty damn good at only £15!

I've never really been into the whole show thing, the GTI is very much my track baby to fettle over years, its a little rough around the edges! I'd quite like to try a show where there are opportunities to pick up some tasty extras though for sure!

They have their merits, but the main selling points for me tend to be a 2 hour session at Combe for £60, and £5 runs up the hill at Prescott. Cheaper than you'll find elsewhere!

That's a proper tripod. Any higher and it gets a bit scary!

Absolutely - drove it over the weekend for the first time post track day - seems i have a weeping Bilstein and a dodgy brake pedal - doh...

Any suggestions where to go for Bilstein rebuilds?
