Has anyone else seen how Google Maps kindly estimates how much fuel you will use??

A tad optimistic :lol:

If budget allows try to get one with a CMOS sensor rather than CCD, as you will get a higher quality of picture (that Samsung is a CCD by the way).

Edit- Congrats

A dream car, congratulations

I know a few people made a detour to Demon Tweeks on the Wrexham Industrial Estate last year on the Friday; there is also a really good car cleaning products shop nearby called CLB that is well worth a visit. You can even pay them to detail your car if you are too lazy

Edit: here is their site

Drink Palinka till its gone out of fashion

Still have nightmares of this stuff since last summer in Budapest for the F1 haha; anyone who drinks it of their own free will is a hero in my eyes!

A few Zeds made it on to the official video too

OP - I have Goodyear Eagle F1A2s all round on my car, and they have been excellent in the wet and dry. Significantly cheaper and more readily available than the MPSS too

Some interesting cars here! Back in 2005, this was my first car; stayed in for 6 months to save for it and when I took got it home it was too low to get on the drive

Then about 8 moths later I bought this, and kept the two for a bit before selling the Civic; 170+ bhp rwd at 18 teaches you a lot!

Surely for that price it would be the Indy circuit?

I have one of these (looks very similar to the OP's) but when I use it its always too watery to start with, and only does nice thick foam when theres less than 1/8th of the bottle left, and it sounds louder as well. Anybody know what could be wrong with it? Very frustrating as it starts off crap but is good for the final minute or so of using it!

Looks pretty good quality to me, but it says bottom right that it was recording 1080p however it is only uploaded as 720p on youtube?

I really need to convince you lot to try Anglesey. Best circuit in the UK, for me.

I agree with you, Anglesey was certainly better than Oulton and Donington for me. I appreciate that the thread title states 'South England', but if you are heading to Donington, Oulton or Anglesey count me in

Im sure I read somewhere that the drift days at Oulton make a hell of a mess of the bodywork with gravel flicking up?

I've noticed the "novice only" track days too, I might actually consider doing that first just to get the experience of driving on a track.

 

IMO, the taster / novice days are great, because you are on track with people in the same boat as you, and you aren't constantly looking in the rear view mirror for stripped out race cars flying up behind you! Also, c.25 mins is enough for someone having their first go, as well as not being too tough on the car

Something to do with Japfest?

Might have a potential bargain/project - Anyone got a app or voodoo magic to find out what engine is in the car with this reg....

CTT 944Y

 

 

I'll update with some more information when I get some more

2479cc in that apparently, which in 1983 would have given you 165bhp

Congrats

Great write up and pics.. Brilliant project..

 

But Why.

Why not?

Anyway, great stuff mate, subscribed

I have a lightened flywheel, and if the revs are very low and you give it a bit of throttle you will hear the noise in the video above, particularly if the windows are down... but its not THAT loud, so go for it

My HEL lines didn't come with any fixing clips, so I had to buy these

http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/hose-clips/automec-rubber-lined-p-clips

Make sure that you turn the steering lock to lock once on the ground to check that the lines do not rub on the wheels

I wrapped my roof with the hexes stuff, and as long as you use heat & a squeegee and have plenty of patience id say it wasn't too difficult to do. Just make sure you have a few pairs of hands and that it isn't windy

Check the earth for the stereo.

Yup this happened when I installed my first stereo with amps etc when i was 17 in a chavvy civic! Good luck getting this resolved
