  1. Some set up that kid! Some of the rigs the guys where making on my racing forum was unreal.. seeing this makes me wanna smash out an F1 game at full race distance! Haha
  2. Got mine today.. work great, Reckon we all have a boot popper cruise so we can show each others boot popper action off.. no body on my street seemed too interested
  3. Cheers for the heads up Marzman.. your right it is slightly raised up.. when my second name is Block ill go ahead and book it.. think im going for the track day first... AFTER i get my new tyres and hopefully the weather will be a little better too
  4. Im going to have to wait till i get tyres then.. end of March early April possibly.. i have about 2 - 3mm and as i said before the shoulders are cracked. would be a shame to get turned away on my first one. Worried about buying some Michelin and ruining them but i guess thats part of the price you pay.. The airfield looks good but do they do beginners only days?
  5. Haha.. that first drift you did I would have been pointing the wrong way. Msv seems to be the one so I have somewhere to start. Its my birthday at the end of feb so thinking of trying it... well since my tyres are going in the bin soon I think ill go drifting When you track do they have somewhere for you to fuel up on site or do you have to leave to find a shell garage.. I cant wait to give it a try!
  6. I spotted my car at he end of octets video! Wish I cojld have afforded them volks I cannot wait to go tunnel blasting with you guys!
  7. Ok some great advice... I want to track my car. Thats the bottom line. I need tyres in the next couple of months mine are cracked up I guess from not being driven on by the previous owner. I'll defo insure as the car took me a long time to save for and I would be GUTTED! To say the very least if something was to happen.. this thing about abrasive surfaces I get but how the hell do you guys go on going to a track day or drift and then drive home? Have I really gotta go buy some tyres and put them in the boot to take with me.. then how do I get the damn things on my wheels? Have I got it wrong that I can go track my car and then drive home and to work the day after and not worry about my brand new Michelin PS3 tyres being illegal? Oh and just realised something. . How much fuel am I going to burn through.. this experience is seeming quite daunting.. maybe some budget tyres would be a better option but then im going to be worried about loosing it accelerating out of a corner.
  8. Now your talk Gudzy!! That really how much a full day is? Im getting on that begginer full track day. Hope my tyres last that long! They are cracked on the shoulders
  9. Hope my zed doesn't end up like your bmw.. ill look into this drifting at santapod but im worried about tyres.. maybe later in the year. I just bout the car, then had a P3 done, then had to mot, now I have to buy tyres, then I need to tax... yeah think I'll wait a bit haha..
  10. Ok sounds cool.. Dont mind travelling to Anglesey would be more than worth it by the sounds of it. Do the forum members go together sometimes for track sessions? I declined the castle comb session because i was too scared to track with loads of people... and in front of loads of people ! Need to get some practice in as i have never done anything like this. Im interested in either drift or grip just depends on accessibility and costs like tyres ouch! @Alive Boy: How do i get started on this drifting then? sound like a good set up so are there any "Schools" that do it from there or is it santa pod itself that run it?
  11. Hi peeps.. I want some advice / guidance for my first track experience.. i'v looked at these offers online and they seem bloody expensive for what you get and my thinking is i already own the tools for the job just need to go do it! So how do i get started? i scared to death of going out with a load of posh cars or a load of idiots in scoobies! so does anyone know of a nice firendly track day in the northwest? perhaps at Oulton park where i can get started.. One more thing, Insurance!? is it expensive and are there specialists?
  12. tbh.. this is just not gunna happen for me.. i just cant afford it
  13. I'v told the Mrs she can sleep on the floor next to my bed if she wants.. (as we ended up with a twin room too) went down well..
  14. Need boots for my zed.. rears.. they are cracked and only have a couple of mm left.. was gunna get back circles to drop some.. either falken ziex ZE-914 or Michelin pilot sport 3's (if i can stretch to that) I'll get a local place to fit them for me.. Any body think i can get em cheaper anywhere else also recommend fitting place? Im base in manchester
  15. Yeah.. that worked for me and they supplied all the parts on mine.. just left them to it. Ask about plugs as they aren't part of the P3 I payed extra for them to change my plugs..
  16. Just got my car back from Lockwood & Greenwood based east Manchester 2mins from the M60 J23 They have jusy done my P3 and MOT.. great guys and great customer service! Would highly recommend!!
  17. Wow! Not a fan of silver but the finish on that looks niiice!
  18. Well, Now that im going to Wales, Japfest and hopefully a whole bunch of other shows/meets i need something for those moments when you stand and look at the car and go "I really wish i had a cloth and some spray to get that @£$% off my car" I have used Megs detailer before and dont really rate it so whats a good one to start with?... the cars well waxed all the time so hopefully i shouldn't need anything to aggressive. my main worry is rubbing that sandy crap off the road into my paint i know loads of people use em at shows and stuff so must be fine for that purpose? So.. what are we all using?
  19. Yeah, thanks dude. might have to make one.. since moving back in with my parents i had to get rid of my rig.. it was awesome! had an office chair with an armrest and the gear stick was in just the right place! many many hours spent playing gran turismo on my g27 happy gaming!
