Im Famous...! Pt 2

Was in the Readers Rides section of Banzai this month! I only sent it in about a year ago, so totally out of date now but hey!

Sorry for the awful picture quality!



I Have Been Tango'ed!

Fancied a change of colour on the wheels as they have been gold for over two years! Really struggled with what colour to go for, but I decided to make my car stand out more than it did anyway and got them refurbed in Florescent Orange! Cant stand out much more than this now!


Cant lose me in a car park now!

Sticker Me Up

Got a new sticker from eBay, just a bit of fun!

Also I was given a Second Class Place sticker at the Rockingham TSS sprint so I decided to put it on my numberplate

Rockingham Race Circuit

Today I drove round Rockingham Race Circuit in the IQ with the Toyota Sprint Series! I wasnt very competitive but it was great to drive round the circuit! I had a sunstrip fitted for the occassion, which I think will stay on for a while as I love it!

I really enjoyed driving Rockingham, deffo an experience! I managed to improve my time by about 15-16 seconds from my first time as I got more confident with the track and the way my car handled. The only brown pants moment was when they let a GT4 running 350+ brake out after me and it caught me up, not fun seeing that in your rear view mirror I can tell you!

I came second in my class! But there was only two of us in it! I think to have a chance of winning I need to go down the coilover route, so maybe that will come but its not a priority right now.

Absolutely loved it though, I just love all the guys n gals involved with the series!

Im Famous..!

Its been hard to keep this under the radar, but I had a shoot done on my car back in May this year. My car was 'spotted' at BHP Show @ Lydden Hill at the beginning of May. Less than 2 weeks later, I was meeting a couple of freelancers at Brighton Seafront for them to take some pictures/words of the car for Japanese Performance magazine!

Here is the resulting SIX PAGE spread!

Sevice #2 - 2 YR / 20K Miles

The car had its 20K miles service today. Slightly early as I have been doing more miles than usual in the past year, as Jas has also been using my car a fair amount.

The second service included-
Enviromental Charge
Consumables
Screenwash
Brake Fluid
GSKT, Drain Plug
Oil Filter
Brake Cleaner
Fully Synthetic Low Ash Oil
Gas Treatment

New Shoes Pt 2

I was toying with the idea of another set of wheels for ages, but there was only one set I would only really settle for, and it was a set of Advan SA3r's. I had been searching the net for months trying to find a set to no avail. Thne one night I came across a set! I was so excited, they had only just been put up for sale on the Yaris Owners Club UK. They were a set of 15" x 6.5" refurbished in Blue wrapped in Toyo T1Rs. Didnt even try and haggle with the guy, I wanted them that badly, I thought they would look perfect on my quirky little car and perfect for sprinting with!

Really notice a different in handling and accelaration speeds compared to the heavy day to day Rota Grids, but the downside is the car is alot lower on these, it hates speedbumps and you can forget about going into Brighton multistorey car park!
