Clive's 400 BHP Super GT RX-8 Race Car

[clive]

That is looking better than just good Clive All the best for the coming season, if last years results with a less than a perfectly running turbo/ECU are anything to go by then you should be in for a good year.  

Thanks Ray, maybe you can make it to a Brands race this year

Got bored at work, so decided to watch some of Jon's You tube vids.

Watch the one of Clive's car after Jon had created his race loom.

Oh how I chortled when Jon kicked over what sounded like a can of WD40 then my speakers presented the guys in my office with "Oh F*****g Hell!"

Quality moment!! ..... luvvin the accent too Jon

Well If I bump into you at a track day etc, I hope I can take you seriously with that accent.

Mind you, you'll probably accuse me of sounding like a Brummie !!!

"Its in Liverpool and its a Mercedes company car"

Great to see you had a good day Wayne, saw you on track loads of times.

So please I had a chance to test the race car, as some of you know the car popped a hose off the water pump during the third session, no harm done as I was able to kill the engine and roll straight back into the pits. Great that it happened this way as it would have probably come off in qualifying at  Brands Hatch on March 24.

Probably the best the car has ever felt and feels much faster down the straights now it holds boost properly, also since the last Coombe outing the car has different spring rates, different brake pad set up, plus the rear plates under the suspension giving a clean air flow to the rear diffuser, means the car feels more stable into and off of the corners.

I know the car has more downforce because an RX-8 owner told me that when I went past him on a dirty part of the track, he could see the diffuser was sucking up dirt and rubbish off  the track   

I'm going to be really disappointed if I cant break into the 53's at Brands next time out

That has a nice stance, looks flat and level on the bends.

Need to get out the shed a bit more and stop being a hermit !
