Cheers for that. After being out with Euan today at the track day i need to get myself sorted out soon. That was good fun even in the passanger seat

I'm after a bit of advise on turning my scoob into a track car. I decided to sorn it a few weeks ago and have bought a van to run just now. What are the rules about putting a car on the track, does it need to be mot'd or insured? I don't intend going daft modding it to the max but figured my brakes would be the most important item, so will the standard 4 pots be up to the job? I've never been on a track day but really fancy trying this, just want to do it as cheaply as possible and see how it goes. Just wish i was ready to go so i could've done John's novice day tomorrow. Thanks Kev

Snap, just put mine off the road , hopefully this will happen again as i've never had my car on the track but plan to do so.

Nice one Gordon, hopefully going to do the same thing with mine now. I put it off the road at the weekend after buying a van. Couldn't bring myself to sell it to some scabby chav so i just parked it up. Keep us updated mate.

Never used them, didn't like the look of the place. I went to Falkland to get mine done. Good enough job . £55 or there abouts. Need to get it done again after getting a new wheel bearing, i was going to try checkpoint too.

That's a bit cr*p. My wife got her wheels replaced on her grand vitara for the same reason but they're nearly as bad again, out of warranty now though. And a friend of mine went through 4 sets on a lexus he had, something to do with a lack of protective coating to the inside of the rims. Hope you get it all sorted.

Didn't know you were still kicking about in here buddy, How's tricks? And slightly off topic, has anybody had a renault diesel mapped? or to be more specific, it's a suzuki GV but the engine is a Renault.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Yes he was.

Do tell.

Just curious mate, i'm the same, my ecu can't be remapped either. I just bolted bits on and screwed the boost up . Very agricultural but it works well.

Have you had it remapped for the sports cat if you're keeping it on? Would the pops and bangs not blow the guts out of your cat?

The downpipe is a pain to swap over just to swap back again after mot. I have heard of cars passing with just a standard catted centre section fitted if they're lucky. Best bet would be if anybody in your area has a double catted centre section made up you could borrow, doddle to swap over and back again after mot.

Oh aye and the exige has now been moved up to sub zero on his bedroom cool wall

Are you the guy with the exige? If you are, thanks for letting my son have a seat in it He was well impressed with it.

Cheers mate, aye he's talking about giving up his football so we can go all the time Surely the point of going there is to get the best time possible and you're only gonna get that giving it some Plus that was the bairns favourite bit, the launch.

Do you have AA cover? Beaten to it ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Haha mate, that was a laugh. My son had a great time too. Might be back soon enough My quickest time of the day was a 13.298, which i think was decent enough for my mods (some stickers, some rust and a big exhaust) Kev Agreed that the sight of Colin's and Chris's cars taking off was pretty impressive

What time will this be starting at?, i'm going to head down.

That's what i was gonna say, or maybe a plumber. They're quite sensitive people too

Think this would be a better bet for £6k ish http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1426810.htm

I like the red, as long as the shade is the same as the stripe

Tayside meets used to always be a Sunday evening, then moved to Tuesdays and now thursdays. It was moved about to suit people turning up and to try and get more folk there.

Very nice Grant I like the wheels.
