Crail Big Track

Anyone still here? Aaaanyway, nice little vid from Dave Murray from Crail back in August. Mine's looking pretty ugly, but that's in the process of being fixed right now...

Omega race car

Now I like Omegas, they're comfy and pretty handy for towing S13's with.... I never thought I'd find myself wanting one as a race car however:





Love it, you crazy Dutch bastards.

Old man cars?

I'm not going to lie, Lexuses (Lexi?)generally bore me (bar the odd SC300).
This one however, makes me very excited.

Amazing what you find...

...buried under a pile of wheels and junk. Turns out I had an S13 in there somewhere.


Now back on the road and legal, I administered a thorough shoe-ing at Crail.



Maybe a bit too thorough...


Replacement parts already sorted and awaiting fitment , good excuse for a decent front bumper I guess. Also gave the Borbets a long overdue test-fit up front, steering looks entirely possible!

it will fit! *smash* smash*




spent the day trying to get the v8 under a stock bonnet. so so close now the webbing has gone - chav style raisers is my last resort before i cut a hole round the filter

Operation: Boringify the Kouki

Winters coming. Its time to put the Meisters to sleep.

Before:


After:



Those chunky Dunlop SP9000s look like Drag Radials on the back. Maybe I'm just not used to properly sized tyres. Either way, the car looks boring, and I have slightly more ground clearance than before. They're fine to roll around on for the winter whilst I try to get the car ready for next summer (I must of driven it 2 or 3 times this summer - weak)

Playing...

Got myself a DSLR to play with, Olympus E510. Still learning it, but took this of the car this morning on its new Bilstein suspension (cheers Quail)

Okishima immortalised...

...until it gets a bit rubbery at least. Took a little 1700 mile to the Nurburgring last week in the M3, thought it'd be rude not to do a little Okishima repping. So the car got it with an OG sticker:

Then the track had it's turn too while we took a little late evening wander:

Located just after Wehrseifen at Breidscheid if anyone's planing a trip. I'd have left the URL if I hadn't run out of paint (BMW Alpineweiss of course)

And it would be pretty lame not to finish with an action shot
