With the car back home, gearbox swap was top of the list. I had a spare, and I bought new (expensive) gearbox oil again for it (Redline heavy duty shockproof). Swap wasn’t too much hassle,...
Right, finally an update!
Booked to go to Anglesey Matsuri for late October, and I had also been invited to take part in the BDC night demos too, so that should be fun! I'd never been to Anglesey...
Thanks man! It was custom made by APW Engineering. Incredible quality :)

I'm getting really bad at updating this build thread, huh? Been so busy with personal life & work that I simply haven't had time. But at last, here's an update.
Last month I decided to attend the...
Hey, sorry only just seen these replies! It blew from the high pressure line, quite unusual to do it there. For the high pressure line, my replacement was made by a local hose company. The amount of...

Firstly, lets start out with...
Enter Saturday, BDC Round 2 2015 at Knockhill. After the drivers briefing, all Pro-Am drivers headed out onto the track for 1.5 hours of practice. The weather was nice, quite warm & the track was...

Then some lead/solo runs of mine. As I said, my goal was to be as fast as possible into Devils Elbow. It was great fun to try!

After getting the car up to speed on all the safety equipment needed to compete in BDC, I was then also basically ready for a...
So many things have been going on in the past couple of weeks that I’ve had a hard time coming up with writing this post! And, considering how much has actually happened with the car, I’ve taken next...

Here’s a video of the Final 4 with Matt's E30. You can see my mistake on my lead, as soon as my rear tyres hit that outer edge of the track, I’m a passenger!

Well, my first drift day of 2015 was last week, I suppose I should update this a little!
Before I get onto the talks about Santa Pod, a few days before I swapped out the old oil cooler for the new...
