Recommended Posts

Two words - F**kin awesome.

Well done

That means a lot Iddy, thanks!! :(

sounds like you had great fun mate

wouldnt bother going td04 for now theres still plenty of fun to be had with the ct9.

did you get my text the other day mate?

Yeah with stickier tyres and a few more handling bits I could be much quicker round a track so happy with the power for now!

Didn't realise that was you or get a chance to reply sorry dude! What did you wanna do about it?

This car is awsome considering the short amount of time you have had it, glad your enjoying it mate :(

Thanks man, can't believe it hasn't been a year yet and the car was a Cat C stock write off! Never would I have thought the car would be at this spec so soon :(

*Update*

Just thought I'd throw up a few pics, here's one at Japfest

My plan was to debadge the rear after getting the tints done, but came across this under the badge :p

And some more shots where you can see the wheels better (look more pink in real life rather than orange here)

they dont show up well in pics, like jades :/

japfest was quality, i managed to catch your 2nd session dude :( was going well, at 1 point going around it looked like you was taking it easy though, but every other time you can flying past lol.

gutted about your 1st track session though, i was waiting for you to come flying past then all i seen was a flash of pink in the pit lane, and i thought something had gone seriously wrong :( glad it wasnt much though :(

that red mx5 was literally cruising, it was annoying me how slow he was going haha and i was sat on the bank watching lol

Just like my other build thread, completely forgot to check for replies haha

Looks awesome!!!! You need to sort that front plate out tbough dude.

Thanks James! Nah people say to get a square one but I don't like it covering the foglight bit. Even though I don't have a foglight. Yes, I am weird lol

Paintwork looks almost see through, epicly clean!!

And the wheels look far from pink in the pics but look pretty sweet!

Cheers dude, not bad for a 16yo car! And as Ryan said they don't show up well in pics tbh!

Yeah that one point was probably just when I let off to see the oil temp didn't rise too much! Gutted for the 1st session but glad it was nothing major! Roll on next year :p

well done gettign what u had done for japfest dude, shame bout d/v connector dude, u need to order a bung and hose from roose motorsport to blank it properly

Cheers Matt, yeah I need to get it done at some point haha! I think it just didn't hold because of the engine bay temps that day!

Thanks John! Yeah it was a little slidey but people have said that may have been because of my Megs tyre gel haha, me and my clean cars ;)

Also didn't really have the tyre pressures done properly, I just let a bit of air out. Hoping to have Uniroyal Rainsport 2s on next time which I hear are a better tyre even in the dry!

car was looking sweet on the day, you had a big grin on your face too when you came off the 2nd track session so i knew you enjoyed I cant wait to do another one now!

Cheers Craig! Was good to be on track with you, you left me haha. And YES! I've been wanting to do one sooo bad, but the car is now SORN'ed until I can afford to put it back on the road perhaps July 2012

looked awesome on the track matey and sounded awesome! Glad you made it on this time

Thanks Ryan! Was good to see you again

Looked great on Sunday mate, sorry i didnt really talk to you at all!!

Looked good on track too mate, you did well.

Thanks Liam! No worries mate next time eh!

Was looking great on sunday bud, nice to meet you also

Cheers Dan! You too!

No probs about the tints bro :p Also i hate you for letting me drive your car.!!! Now i want a GT.!!! These pink rims suit this loads aswell bro.! Mint car and wicked track session.

*2nd track session lool

Thanks bro! I have planted an evil seed in your head now haha! Don't you DARE think of getting a VTAK! B)

So the car was SORN'ed as of July, as I paid for a year's insurance on the NA up front. Hoping I can insure it next year when I'm 22 with 2NCB, but I also need to sort out an economy issue..I've heard of a few TD04 owners getting very good mpg from their cars, and I'm sure something must be hindering my piddly CT9!

There's a slight noise coming from the back end, as if the brakes are being gently applied up to about 25mph, so I'm thinking the caliper sliders are probably a bit sticky! Also I haven't had the wheel alignment done since I bought the car, so that may be affecting the car's economy too. I'll be getting that done once I fit the PI springs and Whiteline ALK.

Apart from that the car is A-Okay but I need to get those two bits sorted as I struggle to get 130km from £20 of fuel!

So this is more of a collection of random pics I've found rather than an actual update! Took the car out for a run on a closed road yesterday, running as sweet as ever, missing it though :)

Some higher res pictures of the Depo gauges, I realised the other pics look quite pants in comparison!

Nope it's been off the road since August, too much cost running two cars while I'm at uni unfortunately! Gonna see if I can get it on the road this Summer after my birthday, really wanting to track it again! I've been using the NA again since July no boost=dull lol :)

Boo this topic is dead :(

*Update*

Finally got my hands on an Optional Sunroof Deflector :D

Also bought one of these badboys!

Whiteline 24mm Front-Anti Roll Bar, handling parts ftw! B)

I'll have the Sunroof Deflector fitted when I go back home after my exams in 2 weeks, and I'm picking up the ARB at Japfest. Checked out my insurance and the quote will drop down to £815 come renewal in Summer but unfortunately it's still too much, so it means another year in the NA :(

Anyway hope you like!
