What a rocket! It’s so fast around some of the corners that the video looks sped up. Nicely done

@b_hoves normally I would crop out the time stamp from the go-pro, had to leave it there so people didn’t think that was the case 
Its a different machine compared to last year!
@nvergaraa awd does help in some ways, but also has its own challenges due to the art of rear axle. Im very jealous of your motor, I need more power

If that was me Mick I do apologise, most of the time when I get messages at work, I get distracted my the fact I’m suppose to be doing something constructive
@DaleJeffree no need to apologize, I was referring to someone I was speaking to about gearboxes, not related to anyone here.

Something I’ve been meaning to get around to for a while now, making inserts for my wheel spacers. I was running 25mm on each corner but I now have some 20mm spacers for the rear. Now everything should be nice and centred.
Here are a few photos of the rear without spacers, you can really see the extra width in the body

Been a while…
Couple of updates 
EBC greenstuff pad upgrade
Made some new camber plates, now I have max caster and camber, and camber has been backed off to -1.7° on both sides with eccentric bolts in the steering knuckle. Seems to be ideal with nice even tyre temps on the front.
If anyone is interested in the old ones drop me a line. The will either give you more camber or more caster depending which way around you install them and they fit uniball flanges from K-sport or Maxpeedinggods.
Made some new door cards from some PVC sheet 
Most importantly, Livetodai sticker that can be seen from the on-board camera
After the race at Bremerhaven on Sunday im currently sitting in 3rd place for the championship (group 3a)

Hi guys, tested out the new brakes last weekend and they are great, but maybe a bit too good
As you can see the brake rotors turned blue from the heat. I decided to solve the issue by fabricating some scoops for the backing plates to duct some air into the centre of the rotors to help cool them.
Hopefully it helps keep them a bit cooler.
The poor old motor is suffering from a bit of blow-by so ive ordered a catch can that ill plumb up as an oil separator and keep it connected to the intake manifold rather than venting directly to the atmosphere. Should have that finished by tomorrow, then ill post some pics.
After the race last weekend im sitting in 2nd place for the championship. The last race for the year is in a few weeks, hopefully I can hold my position…

I got the catch can installed yesterday. It was a cheap chinese thing from ebay
It required a little bit of work… The holes all needed to be countersunk so the o-rings on the fittings could seal properly.
I also made up a small cover for the outlet to help stop oil getting sucked into the intake, and the actual oil separator has been filled with steel wool to help separate the oil from the air.
Made up a mount to attach it to the strut brace

Hope you enjoyed your festive time of year also Mick . The sirion is looking nice and ready for its up coming season. I actually love the green wheels and 13x7 nice width.

Thanks 
I also want to mention that I have copen brakes on the front, there’s been a lot of debate about weather 13’s actually fit over them. If you’re carful about the form and offset, yes they fit! I was really worried when I bought them, but they actually fit just fine.

Also for anyone who’s interested, these are called Intra wheels, they came on the older Renault Twingo. There seems to be many available for quite cheap (at least on my side of the world anyway) They are 13x7 +23 with a 4x100 PCD. I’m still running wheel spacers and with the widened body they poke just a bit. I’d guess without spacers on a normal Dai fitment would be just about perfect 
They are also reasonably light, much much lighter than my white 15x7’s that I mounted the semi’s to.

Nice Mick, those wheels set the car off perfectly.
Thanks for the handy tip on Copen brakes.
