Not much of an update as got a lot on personally at the minute.

When trying to figure out what the bad vibrations were driving back from the Anglesey Trackday, I discovered some very slight play in one of the ball joints so they got replaced at weekend. Could only find the TRW ones through autodoc so took a few weeks to turn up.





And after getting the track wheels off, Im thinking the vibrations could have been build up coming loose on the tyres/wheels.




Stuck the road wheels on after fitting the new ball joints and smashed it up the motorway a few junctions and a blast back down the B roads and all felt OK so fingers crossed.

Also noticed the main beams "flash" wasnt working so an ebay buy and change of stalk seems to have sorted that one out.

Love the easy fixes.



Also booked a couple of trackdays for the diary on the "boxing day sales"

Anglesey middle of next month although not sure I'll make it now with whats going on personally, and Cadwell in June. Will be the 1st time of doing cadwell but I keep getting told how good it is and how the 306 is suited to it so looking forward to that one.

Not done oulton yet but looking to do it this year. Want to try and get it in the warmer (drier) months but as Im usually stuck to weekends it always seems expensive.

Should get it done really as its pretty much one of the closest circuits to me now.

Unfortunately it looks a lot better on the photos, it suffered from being parked up on a drive for 6 years, paintwork is tatty once you get up close. I'll sort it eventually LOL

Yeah everyone seems to rate Cadwell so fingers crossed

So given the car a once over. Turned out Ive melted the dust seals in the calipers, not too worries as its mainly used on track so can sort that another day. Burnt through the anti squeal shims (didnt make a difference anyhow)

Brakes all cleaned up and fresh grease on the contact points.





Gave it a little run out and all feels good.

So all set for the 1st trackday of the year. Off back to Anglesey again on Sunday, just need to load it up with the track wheels (optimistic that it may be dry haha) and fuel and a few tools.

Best go charge up the GoPro

Not much to update but replaced the driveshaft with one I had spare, seems to have resolved the intermittent vibration/ wobble I was getting, but suppose the next trackday will confirm.



Done about 100 road miles in it and seems ok.

Had it in for the MOT last weekend so got another years ticket on it. Bath and back away for now.









Not got anymore trackdays booked until June at Cadwell, got some health issues to sort first so not been getting much in the diary for this 1st part of the year until I know Im fit enough again.
