My 2001 Silver MR2 - Mr Stev3's track day now sprint roadster

MrStev3 · August 18, 2015, 13:04

I do but on the missus camera
Two more in my class both quicker and both had more power and bigger spec than me and more importantly experience of croft plus Pete is a cracking driver and last years group winner but I'm happy not to of been last over all
I think some extra weight saving may help for the next round and I need more corners as straight line isn't my cars forte
Cracking people all round and I was 0.23 seconds off the gt86 ahead of me , so close

Sounds great. Have you booked onto Cadwell? I'm still planning on going to meet with them and just generally see what goes on

MrStev3 · August 18, 2015, 13:37

I will be at cadwell :-) :-) :-)
Blyton next but can't wait for cadwell :-) :-) :-)
I was going to upgrade my calipers but it was hard getting heat into the yellows so will stick for now.
Come down I don't expect to be good there as its 8 runs to learn it but I'll have a go and I'm sure you can tell me what it's like at cadwell

Just a small selection of pictures

Great pics! Some real mix of cars there

MrStev3 · August 24, 2015, 12:20

There were a lot more cars with gt86 and gt4 celicas being in the vast numbers
Roll on next round

Do they tell you where to stick the sponsor stickers or they just have to be on the car somewhere?

MrStev3 · August 24, 2015, 12:34

The stickers must be on or you can't score points but apart from your door numbers you can stick them where ever aslong as they are displayed

Me and the missus just spread them out but made sure they were symmetrical
I was running some gt4 play ones also as he's been good to me
I hate stickers but felt wierd not having any on when I arrived at the hotel haha my car stood out as the noob a mile off

Anonymous · August 24, 2015, 13:24

Haha I can imagine! Looks good all stickers up though

MrStev3 · August 24, 2015, 13:36

Least I have some of the part brands on the car lol
Nothing worse than cars with stickers for brands they don't have sponsor or not haha

dkirkwood89 · August 28, 2015, 10:00

How did the GT86's get on. Haven't seen too many of them yet, and the only ones I have seen have all been standard

MrStev3 · August 28, 2015, 14:23

Some gt86 were slow some were fast
Some had superchargers and some turbo chargers and some n/a
The overal winner was fensports turbo one and second was fensports n/a one
Third was a celica gt4

0.23 seconds quicker than me was a gt86

It was hard to go out and smash in 6 competive runs with no sighting runs when I didn't know the circuit at all but I still had a better time than some impressive machinery

The gt86 to me is a beauty though

Anonymous · August 28, 2015, 14:24

I watched some YouTube of the fe sport gt86 it's a quick and we'll set up car!

Its absolutely gorgeous! I would love one, but too expensive and not enough power. So 18K for second hand plus 5K for engine upgrade s:shock: :shock: s:shock: starts getting very expensive s:(

s:(

MrStev3 · August 28, 2015, 15:30

I'd like to see a new mr2 and a new celica
The celica t sport can be quite the weapon and one if the guys I met had a 190 supercharge he only pulled 3 seconds a run quicker than me and he had double my power , huge brakes and coilovers
When I consider how crap my spec is there's so much room for improvement so roll on the next round.

The gt86 spins around lovely too haha was the best car I saw spin so graceful compared to my spin s:mrgreen: :mrgreen: s:mrgreen:

dkirkwood89 · August 28, 2015, 17:10

New MR2 would be good to see

Have to agree, GT86 is a good looking car

Gave it a service with the CTP Kit Option 2 and a k&n
Fitted a new battery one that was meant for the car

Just reading down through your post from the start. Didn't realise CTP done service kits. What all's in KIT Option 2?

mr-ed_smt · August 28, 2015, 20:20

CTP became Genuine Service Part, and has since closed down all together I'm afraid.

I believe the prices may have gone up but I had oil and filter and denso iridium plugs. I didn't need the air filter
