And I took her for a spin and ended up near Lancaster





Cars all sorted bar a few niggly bits like tyres catching arches and my carbon bonnet needs relaquaring as its gone cloudy but I'll sort them in good time

trying for the life of me to work out where that photo is taken, you must only have been a few miles from where i live.

is that morecambe or arnside sea front?

Seen this at Japfest Donnington park today, looked stunning mate

[Willst220]

Looked good today at japfest. How are your tyres? Shot? You did a few sessions today, and took on a few cars. Held your own and made progress and places. Saw the camera on the rear window, look forward to the vids mate!

Japfest 2 update

I attended japfest 2 at donnington, it was a great day which I spent most of my time on the track I had 3 sessions. It was my first time on at donnington and I got the hang of the track quite quickly.

First session I was getting to grips with the track,
second session I was on fire showing up some faster cars eg scoobies,evos,skylines, s14s ect,
Third session I backed off abit as there was a few nobheads on track.

Donnington was a good test for the new setup on the car found the semi slicks awesome and a grinspeed geo setup to be agressive and it showed on track with the cornering ability of the car.

I used my gopro and I tried a few angles but only my third session came out decent

And a few videos compliments from darkhawke(jack)

The car was awesome all day, no problems what so ever just ashame there was to many nobheads on track who didn't have a clue

Cheers lib

[Darkhawk]

Looks like you had fun mate

(the reason the vids are called dean and micra etc is cus its my mate dean in his micra on track when lib was.on)

Was good to see you there mate, shame you didnt have a session at the same time as me

Don't think the bigger boys liked getting overtaken by NA civics, especially evos/supras/scoobys but was good fun. I had a classic shape impreza spin off in front of me, rip his rear bumper off and carry on only for him to lose it through craner curves as I was going for the overtake..

Awesome day and glad you got 3 sessions too [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Looks like were a few muppets on track that slowed you down a tad

Used to own an S14a, I'm not the quickest driver but I'd have gone quicker than that

Went out for a quick spin last night and decided to see how the car launches with the semislicks as I want to go to York raceway soon

Anyway cut a long story short Iv lost first gear, Iv checked the gear cables and there fine Iv got every gear bar 1st I'm so pissed off .

I only launched it as I would on road tyres span 1st the tried shifting into 2nd and wouldn't go in , tried again and nothing so I pulled over tried first nothing, tried 2nd and it went in.


So need to strip the box down and see whats gone it's either a synchro or the actual gear.

Unlucky mate, it's the last thing you want to happen.

Unlucky mate, it's the last thing you want to happen.

I'm gutted to say the least

I didn't spin up anymore than I have before so I don't have a clue what's gone on.


Good thing to come out of it is final drive time

[Willst220]

Final drive and perhaps carbon synchros?

[ctr-lib]

Final drive and perhaps carbon synchros?

Yep and yep

[Willst220]

Although they are carbon 'lined' - or coated I think....which seems a bit of rip off- either way they will be more durable than OEM and cheaper

[ctr-lib]

I don't know bud haven't really looked into it

[Darkhawk]

Ah thats poo

[Willst220]

Stevie will sort you out mate. In a weird way, I'm looking forward to the day mine gives up- its an excuse to buy the FD and synchros! Although Stevie commented mines the nicest box he's felt in a long time..... Bet he says that to all the blokes! Seems like FD is a while away yet!

Can you select 1st via the arm on the gearbox rather than using the gearnob?

I had this once in a golf where there was a small bit of plastic missing from the linkage
