Enjoy the car! Shouldn’t need anything Bar a set of decent pads for Kirkistown!
Sell you a plate for it
I had a hard enough time convincing the wife to let me have 2 toys, I think that plate may be a step too far.
Pity you sold the Oz alloys though, would have had those.

I'll see if I can make it... The Civic is in bits, it also needs drivable to get some scaffolding poles into the back of it...

Susan the Supra is staying, I'll be taking it off the road, for the time being, maybe get it to a couple of shows in the summer. Couldn't bring myself to sell it.
I've bought @Eddie_ old red Clio 200 Cup to have a bit of craic at Trackskills and a few weekend blasts so it should keep me happy for a while.

Collected this today and took it for a quick blast on some twisty roads.
The most fun I've ever had in a car by a mile, the noise, the long ratios, the steering and the amount of grip all add up to put a massive smile in your face. I can't stop grinning.
What a car, can't wait to get it on the track.

First track day in the Clio, loved every minute of it but definitely need some news tyres and better brake pads for the next one!
Promised myself I wouldn't spend much on this car but tyres, pads and maybe a half cage should do.
And maybe a supercharger.
Such fun reliable little cars.

The DS 1.11 pads are bang on. Similar to Pagid RS29s or RSL29s as they are now called.
Kind to discs and a fairly consistent Mu curve.
Make sure you bed them in properly before Kirkistown.
I'll be running them on the rear of the Civic for her next outing.
I'll not be there on Sunday, a big BBQ and many beers will be consumed the night before

My best run from Sunday in the Clio. Fourth time out this year and feel like I'm progressing slowly each session.
Best time was a 1.12, no idea if this is any good or not but definitely a big improvement from my first time out.
Its hard to resist the temptation to spend thousands on the Clio to make it a serious track car.

Sorry I didn't get properly chatting to you on Sunday. It was a busy day!
IMHO you are flying round there.
The Clio looks class too.
Just liked and subscribed to you on YouTube.

That’s good to hear! I had refreshed a fair amount of suspension parts not long before selling it along with other bits and pieces. I will get down to Kirkistown over the Summer so if you’re about I’ll grab a chat with you
Enjoyed the video also. Certainly looks a quick lap!
