Wardy Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Hi guys. I havent posted much for a while but have been seeing whats been going on at UKSO.Basically i have decided to turn my very nice and quick road car into a Race car.I am entering a few events this year with the expectation to race in a championship next year! I have here my provisional dates of racing for the year along with the event type in order; Time Attack Cadwell Park - Sat 25th April CSCC Brands Hatch - Sun 31st May Time Attack Brands Hatch Sun 21st June CSCC Mallory Park - Sat 1st August CSCC Brands Hatch 31st - 1st November ( Day and Night Event) Motorsports at the Palace (Dates to be Announced) Brighton Speed Trials (TBA and Invite Only) The reason i am putting this up here is because it is hard to come by a starlet out on the road let alone one in motorsport.It would be a great opportunity to meet people from accross the country and also the support would be very much welcomed! Here are a few pictures of the car now Hopefully i get some good feed back from your guys and hopefully see some of you soon! Thanks Wardy Quote
5e colin Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 nice bay what are you running boost turbo bhp ?? Quote
Wardy Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 Running a TD04 Hybrid from Tuning Developments,Max boost is 1.5Bar but on track 1.2Bar305 BHP cheers! Quote
5e colin Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 nice 1 that going to keep up pretty gooood and more if you find out the gearing is to long for the short circuits you could always fit an oem lsd they have a lot shorter gears for the twisty bits Quote
Wardy Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 Good bit of advice there thanks! My current gearbox is pretty good for brands and cadwell and i have a 2 way LSD nice and snug in there It doesnt do too bad! Did a testing/Trackday sunday before last at Brands Hatch Indy, Tony Gilham from Team Hard (BTCC) was there with 4 new golfs to enter into a VW Golf championship, they were getting Blue Flagged so i could get past and they were running slicks too! Very excited to see how competitive i am in my classes! Quote
5e colin Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 i will be keeping my eyes glued on this thread thats for sure best of luck :) Quote
_shaun_ Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I often think a well set up starlet would do well in some classes be very interested to see how u get on is that a custom cages cage? Quote
toyotag2014 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Might have to come brands to watch Quote
Liam_D Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Chuffed to see a starlet finally doing a time attack round! Especially at Cadwell too. I'll be there all day.I could potentially have a word with my boss about getting some stickers across to you or something. Kinda like a sponsorship. Your car would look perfext with our stickers on it due to the colour Quote
Wardy Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 Thanks guys appreciate it! For sure Liam that could be a plan! Come over and say hi! I an trying to get people to come over have a chat and to kind of not make people feel im unapproachable because im racing. I say this as i have had this in the past with other racers. I know where i came from and thats where im going to stay! Anybody is welcome in my pit! (ps bring coffee) Quote
toyotag2014 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Lol ill bring some coffee dude can't wait to see this Sexy beast eating up some track Quote
Hair Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Looks insane dude! Will be keeping tabs on this. Quote
Pete EP82 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Hi mate, great to see another track spec'd EP competing in motorsport. I run a Time Attack EP82 here in Ireland. I'd love to make it over to a round in the UK in the near future. Keep us updated over the coming months.Pete Quote
Phil Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 If you need another set of sparco crimsons for wets let me know ill do you a good price on mine in the forsale section. Phil Quote
Wardy Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 I don't have a set of crimsons anymore dude, changing over lugs to different nuts were a pain lol! Thanks for all your kind comments guys! Means a lot!Any help is much appreciated and share it about for potential sponsorship deals! That would be awesome!Feel free to add me on Facebook as well guys as all of my progress and update will be on there and also some on hereKyle Wardy ward Cheers 👍 Quote
Socks Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Been following u on facebook wardy! Car is stunning, good to see motorsport in this country and the starlets sticking it to the others! Keep it up! and keep us all posted, we will all be routing for ya! Quote
jordan walker Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Envy you massively! In building mine for Motorsport aswell only its nowhere near ready Is it the uk time attack series your going for? That's the one I'm hoping to have a go at will be realy interesting to see how you do! Quote
Bean Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 car looks great!!! is it wrapped? what suspension mods have you done to it? Quote
Wardy Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 Cheers guys! Yer that's right it's the UK Time Attack and take your time bud! Don't rush as this could cause even more problems on race day and you don't want that!Hopefully I can bring it to s few events other than racing this year as well like JAE or japfest just to get people to know about the car! Maybe a some sessions at track would also be needed! Lol! Quote
Wardy Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 Tbh bean pretty much everything I can to conform with regs and stuff. It's a very good set up. If I'm chasing a race driver in a 300+BHP golf and running slicks then i think it's good anyway lol!It is wrapped yes Quote
jordan walker Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Cheers guys! Yer that's right it's the UK Time Attack and take your time bud!

Maybe a some sessions at track would also be needed! Lol!Aye it will be next year before it sees the track I recon needs running in and mapping first plus a few handling issues lol but I'm sure we will cross paths at some point 👍 Quote
TimD Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Hoping to do a couple of rounds in 750mc Roadsports this year, need to do my ARDS first, hoping to get that done in the next month, along with medical and everything else that's needed. I also need to order a trailer, that'll be 4 weeks of waiting around. I don't see any external extinguisher or power cut offs, you'll be needing them. Quote
