pedrosixfour Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Are you going to pop over sometime this year then?? Probably not this year mate, there are too many things on my to-do lists which will not only require time but whatever funds I can scare up. Need to make the back garden toddler friendly for starters, that means building some sort of a decent run for the doggie, which still allows him to patrol the grounds and intimidate callers, which he does very well! My transporter would need a little more braking before I'd head for the ferry, perhaps a third axle even. New fatter track tyres for the car would be lovely as well, plus theres a geometry hurdle I wouldn't mind tackling before hitting the UK circuits. Money, money, money!

Nodalmighty Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) My Supra is going through Track Car Prep. Goes in for a 14 point weld in cage and a seam welded shell next month and is going to be painted white. It will then be livered up as the Cure Leukaemia UK official promotional vehicle and used to promote the charity and give fast passenger rides to Leukaemia suffers and it will also be available to The Birmingham Children's Hospital for the same sort of activity. I will also Show it, Drag it and Drift it. Jack of all trade but a master of none Initial spec will be a 500bhp NA-T. Secondary Spec will be a Built 1UZFE with a pair of GT3037's running about 900bhp Looking for Sponsors if any one is interested in contributing. Again this is an OFFICIAL Cure Leukaemia UK Project ? (Charity Number : 1100154) My way of giving back to those who have looked after me for the last 2 years during my battle with A.L.L with Philadelphia Chromosome+). I owe the NHS about £250k and I intend to raise that back though charity work over the rest of my life. Lyndon.

Nodalmighty Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Well I have Lewis Rally Sport Sponsoring the Roll cage and Shell Prep paint and Livery & logos. Ryan @ 2 bar said He'd help in some way, I just need a brake, suspension and tyre sponsor. The rest of the majority I will fund myself. I have the Mark "Mr Turbo" Kitchen Billet turbo back in stock along with my old TurboSmart Progate 48, lines and downpipe etc. 700+bhp turbo that spools like a T04S. I'm going to copy Scott H's front facing inlet manifold and put my 90MM billet throttle body on it. Steve at Silverline should be able to make me a Exhaust manifold as it's divided T3 and most GE turbo manifolds are T4. I'll drop a forged VVTi TT bottom end in there at some point and turn the wick up. Lyndon.

pedrosixfour Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Thats a damn fine way of combining the two Lyndon, I really hope you get the funding the project deserves. Looking forward to seeing this come together for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing this come together for you. This time I have good feeling one of my crazy projects will get finished, I've done it this way to force myself to complete it or I'm going to look like a complete tosser and let my charity down. It also means the wife and mother in law can't moan about me spending time on the car as they have told me I should contribute more to those who helped fix me. I give them a £5 a month but that just didn't seem enough. Lyndon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Here is the last bit of dodgy footage I have from the car in its current spec taken at a track day in October last. Going to clear a bit of room in the garage shortly for the work I've to tackle before the next track day in late April. New gearbox, race pads, a bit of suspension work (hopefully) and a few other ideas are all on the menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downimpact Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 c'mon craig, get another one matey you know you want to i was out at blyton last sunday, went well back there for a sprint at the end of the month. I like Blyton, think I'll do it again this year, just a shame it's a bit of a trek from South Wales. Like the plenty of run off on the high speed bends at the end.

Dan_Q Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 i enjoy it there for that very reason best of both worlds- proper tarmac kerbed circuit but with no armco to hit (except in one place- and if you manage to hit that- you don't belong on a track anyway!) if all goes well, i'll be back there again twice to sprint this year. fingers crossed.

ManwithSupra Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) Just thought I would do a post track day post. First impressions of the track, wonderful! Lovely track, good facilities & great marshals. The track is so smooth and quick so much better than Combe! I really managed to push the car hard this time (mainly as it was dry and hot) I really would recommend this track to anyone. The only downside is that there is pretty much no runoff, that means it would be a scary track in the wet, but if its dry its immense!! Here are some Pics of the day.. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/37058_457936814280967_881908698_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/165477_458096397598342_70041691_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/225658_458103204264328_335400256_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/302726_458096880931627_1637229536_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/942910_458097010931614_1447368808_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/923102_458098157598166_1225468299_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/264426_458096510931664_190677469_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/270911_458097797598202_292351301_n.jpg Here are some Flybys of the car down the pit straight..
