Re: What I've done to my car this week!
Great pics and video's.
Car is a credit to you James, looks like you had a great day and a wet one for your first track day isn't exactly ideal, well done mate.

Re: What I've done to my car this week!
Another successful MOT.
Miles since last test maybe 250 tops.
A pic of Gus for insurance, earlier this year.
I figure value of Gus (age 32 this year) has now gone above our poor demonised 3 litre low mileage diesel Merc CLK (age 9 in a few weeks). Madness is stalking the land!

Well done with MOT...................Sadly any Merc over 8 years & less than 40 is not worth a great deal any more.

Yep, tester took 5 mins checking the red stripe was secure. That's because the rolling road can't test it's speed boost properly.

Re: What I've done to my car this week!
On the trackday I did the temp gauge was slowly climbing after a few laps so I decided a new radiator would be worth while. I recently bought a 3 core ally rad of ebay for £109. It's the short S2 style radiator. I have an oil cooler from the same place already and I have been using it for a bit, but I'm yet to fit the rad, but it looks good, will fit it soon and report back, if it's all good it will make a much cheaper alternative to the koyo rads that are available at 3 times the price, and probably cheaper than getting custom. Also need to get my acbron coilovers fitted and then it's time for more trackdays

Track day looks like was great fun, though I broke Rexy again so more time added to she is on road
