Friendly argument here.But I think you'll find that we who choose to invest money in this safe insurance of a quality radar detector are not irresponsible dangerous drivers that hop in our cars and go out to speed/invade the police. You'll see that people like Matt, I think Tom has one, Dad has had one fitted on all his cars since the M3, Sam W, and many more actually own very respectable cars. I'm pretty sure all of the above don't drive and speed dangerously on the roads, but on a trip, we all pass cars/trucks and honestly who can pass these guys without exceeding 120+ without actually causing a potential problem, I personally find that people that pull out into a passing lane at 105-110kph cause a massive risk as you have other cars behind waiting to pass and of cause you can see the problems with a que of 5-6 cars in a passing lane at, lets face it walking pace compared to the vehicle they're passing. Yes, the radars allow us to possibly escape a heffty fine and possible loss of license. But in a way they allow us to safely ( confidently ) pass other cars at a safe speed of which to pass them over crawling past on the wrong side of the road at a slow speed, which in my view in this case is the more dangerous way of passing. My 2c.

Go for it man. Everyone kept saying about my attitude but honestly what could I do. Pissing and moaning won't help, and it'd ruin the weekend. I had to just try appreciate the help that I was lucky enough to get and that Im only 16 and I'd made it to the track. I mean I was at breaking point before the last race, was tired, looked half dead, dirty, just ruined but those 2 laps of being in a race and being on the grid for the start was probably one of the top moments for me in my life, watching F1, V8's, A1GP and mostly the guys during the series then being on the start grid for myself was just un real. Sucked to have to pull out when I was on Grahams arse but was still awesome. Got some TV time in the reverse grid warm up lap haha so this an awesome weekend and heres some pictures of it all =) Before qually =D Engine bay clear about 1.30 am... Replacement Engine Gearbox on Haha first race on Pole All set Love how the car turned out 'visually' Thanks to Shelly & Craig @ Attract Signs Warm up 2 teens from Macleans with ruined engines. cheeeyaaaaa

Yea. New Engine fired at 3.30am in the morning, bleed water through it by 4am. Slept, left for Hampton at 7. Will post a big update on all the stuff. Started one race. Great start but no power =) 130 top speed on straight when I had 165 with the ruined engine but got some massive flames. I know most of you guys would have been thinking why didn't I just wait til next season but it was important for me to get there to race and not to watch. After the last race even though I was back in the pits after 2 laps, I got out smiling and thinking about the next meeting I can enter. ( With a rebuilt motor =D ) Which was awesome =D BTW: Ashkan, that and 3 other hoses were replaced with new ones and lots of padding put on for protection.... I used tape as it held really well for a week of road driving on a stuffed hose. So I figured it should pad a new hose well as well as being tied back with some cable ties. Grant. =) haha. Got in a warm up lap for the reverse grid but plugs on new engine stuffed out and took out 3 cylinders ( That was the problem with putting it in at 4am, none of us were really awake and skimped on some important things, fixed them before racing but just missed the HT and spark plugs. New ones went in and then last race fcked something else). last race got 2 laps in with a house just burst. Wasn't rubbing or anything just popped I guess. So Really did 3-4 laps haha For now though =) Big Thanks to Jim/John Lovich Grant S Richard Lester Rich B Andy A ( skid pad engine remover ) James and Ryan ( not members I don't think. Pulled engine out with from saturday evening to early early sunday ) Many more. Couldn't have well can't say gotten out there as every race/session something just didn't go my way. Honestly. It was a disaster weekend. I prepared the car, was a rush but got it going. New hoses, tied back. But one engine mount just ruined it al, I wasn't hoping for results just finishing a race or two but next time =) Im smashed. off to bed.

IM READY!!!!!!! WOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!! Car looks so awesome. Little mis understanding with the number box and how there is no Castrol at the bottom but Andy rolls up with a Un WOF massive 86 on his car so I think ill be ok. Spent day under the car fitting the Koni's, getting everything ready for scruitneering, then off to Shelly. Paid round and series entry, ( cheque came back in post today so will have to give to HRC club or whatever tomorrow.. ) Car looks so awesome.

Best shopping basket I've even driven =P

Few scruitneering things to sort out. i.e Fire extinguisher, Battery clamp. National race license almost sorted. Then its just paying for entry and maybe Friday practice is mum lets me off school..... =/ Anyway, end of the track day and managed to do a 1:32 or there abouts. Car needs to go back to dyno and get that rev limiting problem sorted and the Oxton's said I will have no chance in hell with 92hp =/ Rears almost holding up Fronts not so bad.. Filling some of the holes and body seal on top for scruitneering ( incase of fire or something ) My awesome tap up fix for a blown hose which was yet again rubbing on radiator and managed to eat its way through the pipe I put on the protect the actual coolant pipe then burst the actual coolant pipe on the way home. Was spraying the boot to make it look a big more tidy/clean but then ran out of paint =/
