Shame couldn't get on together although prob would of just about saw you fly by lol.

Actually enjoying driving it at min which is nice so cant wait to get it out again

Yes ....shame
I always wanted to get on the same time as that Fast Blue Clio with the cage / stripped & Pure motorsport bits that I meantioned in a earlier post... he's local.....this time I did & he was shocked how improved the 6 is LOL

All I saw of him was in the far distance & I mean far Thumbs up

Was impressed with the Audi & New Honda typeR but they just couldn't keep up & one of the Evos was rather quick ...
It's always good to have your ego stroked by people asking WHAT the Hell have you done to that car & what power is it doing ....
I do say Standard sometimes just to see there reaction Whistle

Bonnet was great at Forge Action day @ Castle Combe yesterday ...doesn't flex at the front now & the car was The best it's ever been ...it was flying around & at one dryish session out of 3 had 4-6 laps clear ish with no idiots & left a regular guy in a blue Clio with Pure motorsport bits for dust & he's one of the most impressive cars always there & he just couldnt live with the 6 ....he was shocked how quick the 6 is now ...having never been on the track together since my engine has been fitted Thumbs up

So I'm one very happy owner & nothing I went out against including silly power Scoobies & Evos & new Hondas & golfs / Focus gave me any problems Thumbs up

That must have been u that i saw out on track. Was going very well bud. Car looked pretty planted even though the track was like a pond LOL

Started reading this thread last night as I missed the start of it when I disappeared from the forum.
Just finished it now - great work!
Definitely inspiring me to get mine put back together, I just really need to rebuild my garage first as it's leaking like a sieve and no fun to work in Sad

Bit late to the party but have just read through some more of this. Realised that my cousin helped do your cage Damien, he used to work with Mike. He is fitting my cage (standard OMP one) in a couple of weeks.

Got a few updates coming soon ...trying some genuine 25mm Torsion bars & after a F2000 Carbon rear spoiler plus ordering 4 new Dunlop Dzo3gs Thumbs up

Gone against fitting the Corsa power steering I have waiting in the garage as it would need a much larger Altenator than I currently have which is 40amp ...

Getting the car corner weighted after this again ....

Feeling the love again for the 6 ...sadly just Horrible to drive on the road now LOL

Maybe ....Looking into B.A.D rear dampers for the 25s with separate canisters & possibley upgrade to external canister on The front....maybe ?

I flattened my battery on the way to germany a few weeks ago in the morning on the way to the port, my poor little alternator couldnt handle the pas, lights, wipers, heaters and keeping the engine running, it was all too much drain for it to handle. Quite embarrassing when it refused to start in the long queues when getting ready to board the ferry! Doh

Luckily i usually take a spare battery and jump leads for long journeys so i was able to jump start it and for the rest of the holiday i made sure i only had the pas turned on when i needed it and ran the engine for a few minutes after i'd turned it off to make sure the battery was topped up.

I'm with you on the horrible to drive on the roads aspect too, it's a pleasure on a track but getting there and back is annoying! Laugh

Have you thought about turreting the rear and running dampers that way? It's something i'm considering on mine.

Steve I've put a much larger Odyessy battery on now ...one down from the largest ....but my heated W/S eats the power 25amp per side but I only keep the drivers side on now ....use that Ron visor spray inside to keep it demisted on damp days

Because of the Satchel shift & With no Exhaust shields the car stays toasty

Little update
PS ...just ordered my F2000c full carbon spoiler 6-8wks delivery-Hopefully to get more pressure down on my rear tyres & to warm them up better ...
my Gen P/S 25mm torsion Bars will be here next Tuesday ...
Cars getting corner weighted after they are fitted...

YES Lee your 100% correct Thumbs up

I bought them off Kam racing not long ago & they replaced my 205 group N tarmac Mei who said 306 ones are NLA and the valveing was different for a heavier car ?
I believe Twangy has a set hanging around he's keeping Thumbs up

I'm going Black Art Design 3way so these will be up for sell soon

No Mei
Only split power heated screen & electric fuel pump & DTA Mei Whistle

Just found a pair of GRP front doors for sensible money ? Big weight saving Thumbs up

Only issue is I'll have to use Marguard fixed windows with small sliding openers ...I do like them opening as normal & glass really ...
Does sound interesting on big weight saving though ?

I've been thinking of replacing panels with carbon/kevlar over the next couple of years for some weight saving too.
I'm also debating whether to wide track mine or not, and if i do, whether its worth trying to make some big changes to the suspension whilst i'm at it.
