CarlEP91 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Hi, I have decided to start a build thread for my track car. I have had the car for over 3 years now and have done various track days at Cadwell Park and have Donington booked later in the year.It isn't the quickest on the straights but it likes the corners and is the cheapest fun at most of the days I have done!Despite the straight line speed I have done RWYB at York Raceway for fun and plan on doing some runs at Santa Pod on the weekend of Japshow this year. The current spec of the car is Engine-Corolla inlet manifoldBlitz panel filterMongoose S/S exhaust Chassis-BC CoiloversFront and rear strut braces6.5 x 15 Rota Flight alloy wheels185/45/15 Nankang NS-2 tyres Brakes-Black Diamond drilled and grooved front discsBlack Diamond front padsBlack Diamond braided hosesDot 5.1 brake fluid Exterior-TTE rear spoilerreplica TTE front splitter Interior-RollcageCobra Clubman bucket seatsSabelt harnessesMomo steering wheel Plans for the future include plastic windows, poly bushes then maybe an engine conversion. As I bought the car A few more recent pics Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CarlEP91 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Looks fun! I'm Near Grimsby too! Guessing you don't take it on the road? It is fun and road legal but usually just drive it to and from the track, got another starlet for everyday as too old for the uncomfortable ride! Don't see many starlets round here, get really excited when I do! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's good when some of the cars you're quicker than round the tighter parts let you through on the straights, I've had a few holding me up then flying off on the straights only to catch them up and do it all again! Had a look at your SR, looks really clean. I love a nice SR, makes me want one and also to lower mine a bit more but get a bit of rubbing any lower. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was scraping loads due to the 50 profile gone down to 45 now lol cheers buddy can't wait to take the SR around the track very soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had 195/50/15 and it scraped so got some 185/45/15 but not sure about the look of them I think I should have stuck with 195s! Will be interesting to have a look round yours at some point, is the trackday you're booked on in July through Trackdays as I saw that date on their website? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pikey009 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 love this car mate and it's really clean. And being an SR lover i think the TTE parts look great is it an ex TSS car? To be honest it's what i'd planned to do with my SR but it ended up being too clean for me to strip and track it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest it's what i'd planned to do with my SR but it ended up being too clean for me to strip and track it. Thanks! it is ex TSS, did plan to do a few events but my shifts have clashed with them for the last few years and think I would prefer the freedom of trackdays. Had a look at yours, it's really cool! Love the genuine TTE lip, would like one but couldn't justify the price for the track even if I could find one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Thanks mate ha ha no I def wouldn't track a genuine lip although I've had a few people call me mad for even having it on the car. Would love a track car but can't justify it at the min, good look with your adventures mate get some vids up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
