Thats still impressive. I have near a lot more power but i guess yours weighs nothing! Fancy getting mine on a weigh bridge just to see how heavy it is. Still can loose a bit of weight seats, windows etc

Gotta agree its soo much fun when you have 2 very even cars. I had loads of fun playing with a mate in a 182 Trophy at Rockingham.

see how good the puma is massive power to weight advantage but puma only a couple of sec behind over a whole lap shows how good it handles, can see how its as quick as a mini cooper s

A couple of seconds is a lot in laptimes though....

That's shocking Dan. Those discs aren't even old? You might wanna look into some brake ducting

They have done around 10k and 2 track days. Its the harshness of the pads but i really do need some ducting so will look into one night and get some bits ordered/made seen i nice design that bolts to the carriers

Still not very good really, I'm doing ducting on mine not because they get too hot but it's much better for the brakes and should reduce some wear too. Look forwards to seeing what you do regarding ducting

Ian does drive like a mad man though, he used 110% of the brakes at every corner

Nope the r26r is lighter due to plastic windows and carbon seats

As Mallory was my last track day this year its and I'm working in london for a while its coming off the road for a few bits and bobs.

So whats happening -

Suspension - BC Racing Coilovers with 400Springs with adjustable top mounts

Wheels - Spare set with some slicks

Exhaust - Decat 3" Back

Windows - Plastic all the way round

Rebuild the front brakes as the pads are very harsh on the seals! Some new fluid too

Finally get the bonnet wrapped blue!

Finish the brake ducting

So should be all ready for the next outing! in the new year!

Looks good mate

Don't really like the look of Mallory tbh, and my biggest tip would be to stop shuffling the wheel. Makes it a lot easier to feed the car out of a bend and much smoother too

Plans sound good too, sod plastic windows lol
