I attended FITP on Sunday, there was some cracking looking motors there, really enjoyed the day.

Car didnt look too bad bearing in mind I had to completley wash it again once I was there.




 

I picked up a set of colour coded door moulds and had them fitted during the day. I think they make a huge difference!
 

Not much else planned to be honest, funds now going towards racing which is going rarther well so far.

This year I hope to get a black sun strip in the windscreen, and a set of wind deflectors. Other than that not much else will change.

Then next year I plan for a change of wheels, but lots of saving is needed to get what I want on there
 

Also, as you may remember me mentioning, it was round 2 of the NMRRC championship. Currently 7th in the standings after what was a fantastic round 1 for me as I honestly thaught going into that weekend that a top 15 result was going to be difficult.

Anyway, round 2, new track which I'd never riden before, practice went terrible and couldnt get to grips with the track, due to slow pace learning the track I couldnt get any heat in the tyres, which ment no grip!

Heat 1, started 9th I think, finished 6th in what was a boring race.
Heat 2, started 7th finished 6th again, closing down the guy ahead to take 6th place on the last lap.
Final (the only race you score points towards the national championship) Started 12th finished 8th after getting held up behind a couple of slower riders on a track with very very little oportunity to pass on.

After another great days racing, I have done the maths and IF I'm right, after round 2 I have jumped up into 5th in the championship!

Didnt upload heat 1 as it was boring.

Heat 2 - Watch out for the last lap effort to make up positions!



Final - Again, last lap effort, last corner to gain an extra point.

So took the car to Jake at True Depths Detailing yesterday for a 'Quick' going over ready for FITP.

Arrived at about 8:30am to see Jake waiting with pressure washer and foam lance in hand ready for work to begin!

So first step was a going over with snow foam, whilst that dewlled jake went round all the hard to get at areas with a APC and brush, window edges, door shuts, panel shut lines, fuel cap etc etc..
Then he set about the wheels too. Once the car was rinced down he went over the car with shampoo and wash mitt. Once the car was rinced off again he then moved onto fall out remover (Boy that stuff stinks!!), another rince and then a layer of tar remover.
Once the tar remover had done its work we clayed the car ready for machine polishing.
Jake only lightly went over the paintwork with AM glaze with the M/P because the swirling wasn't too bad and we plan to give it a full going over later in the summer when he has a unit set up. So after a couple of blasts over with the machine polisher (which I was too scared to use! lol ) he then polished a couple of needed areas by hand and then sealed with AM seal to protect. Trim and tyres finished off with Megs endurance tyre gel.

Heres some snaps from the day:















Lovley looking glanza in the background no?..... May be sitting pretty but the trusty ol fez had to come to the rescue come lunch time as the glanza had run out of electrisity Wish I got a pic of that!!
 

Looks good!

White cars with black roofs always win!

Are the rear lights tinted? If so what did you use?

Not done much interior wise to be honest, that will be last if I decide to do anything, iv fitted aux plug, radio controll stalk and scangauge II and thats about it.

I played with the idea of the 'S' on the front grille but went off it quite quick :/

Anyway, just got back from round 2 of the national championship with another solid 7th result snatching the position on the last corner of the last lap! Loving the racing at the moment, really have stepped up another level this year. No more being spent on the car for the next couple of months as its all going into keeping me out on track as much as possible. Round 3 only 2 weeks away and cant wait!
