Lee's Garage

Great pictures and videos, looks like a great day was had by all! Glad you both made it through the day and back in one piece, I wouldn't have enjoyed reading about more dramas. Shame about the lack of sound in the vids but look good all the same. Would love to tag along some time.

[lee303]

i did put it up on here and weekend racer, should have come along...no sounds is bloody annoying, but i think you still get a good idea of the cars relative pace, want to see some vids from outside really, as it appears from the pics i’ve lessened the tri-pod type nature of the car with the stiffer front end, which is pleasing

[TheWelsh1]

Looks awesome, you swines

As someone who cba reading 360 pages, about how fast are you guys compared to other vehicles now?

[lee303]

lol, it was! lmao

as for pace, depends what other vehicles, but i was faster than the caterhams that were there yesterday, got whipped by an aerial atom and a couple of racecars on slicks, especially on the brakes, my fastest lap being a high 52, manta will be a fair bit faster when the front end has had a bit of attention but isn’t too far behind really, not sure if brian got any laptimes

[TheWelsh1]

I think it's a good day's work if it's stuff like Atoms that are faster lmao

Looking forward to seeing the Manta getting sorted, if I can find one for a decent price I am going to have a crack at one.

It's all about the money at the minute and the car is in a bit of a state of limbo. Once both are stabilised I'll definitely come along!
Yeah I'm lacking any exterior videos of mine as well. Track cams are all well and good but it's often difficult to gauge what's going on exactly. Also, it's nice to know what your car looks like going along lmao

yes, i thought that tbh lmao tried to follow a pal who was there in a 240 bhp DC5 integra race car on touring car slicks and moton suspension, wasn’t a lot in it but i couldn’t keep with him through clearways, and even though i could catch him again down the straight, i couldn’t brake a 80 meters into paddock either lmao he did also have 6 pot aps though...

the manta will be a weapon with some tweeks, just feels ilke the front end isn’t doing much work currently, rear is planted though, and easily controlled when it steps out, plus you get the late 70s cool kudos!!

[Brian_S]

Ahem, 1987 cool kudos! lmao

The pics + videos on the last page are awesome! I'm about to head up and get the SD card out of the DVR I was using. Although I kept forgetting to turn it on, so don't hold your breathe!

Can't have a page with no pictures though, so here's some more photos:

[Animal]

lol, one of my passengers is hanging on there!

[spanishfly]

that mr2 needs more power....

[lee303]

awesome photos, the nova looks remarkably clean! and fpmsl at 87 kudos lmao

[lee303]

rob, how do you manage to look pimp even in the tinted passenger window side shots? lmao

[Brian_S]

This is the last of the photo's!

1987 is the best year imo! lmao

[lee303]

i think this shot shows off the novice sticker best lmao

[Animal]

The manta looks like it wants some ARB's :-)

[lee303]

yeah, and some camber and castor on the front would be nice too, thats why good pics like that rock though, you can see whats not working, lol

[Benn]

Awesome dudes!

Frigging love the pics. This is a very good site.

[corsadonk]

I'll make sure I'm at the back of the line, on the weekend racer session, if you drive like thatlmao

I'm really looking forward to the 9th now.

Lee who is your pax with the silver full face lid on the previous page?

He has the look of death in his eyes.. Maybe the finger tapping scared him.

Awesome pictures btw who ever took them and great fun it looks too.

[DarrenH]

fantastic day, well done to you both, the cars were aural heaven.

i think last years btcc lap record was the upper end of 48 seconds, which puts it into perspective

[Benn]

So Lee was 10 sec off a Btcc car? Christ.

[lee303]

i looked again, i did a 55 as the fastest lap so seven seconds off the btcc pace,, 53 was clearly tired eyes lmao but still not too bad on road legal tyres with a sub optimal map, and me being a pussy into paddock of course lmao but the main thing is it was really good fun!

anyway, first manta incar session here, two more to come when bri cuts them up and uploads them, love that noise!

the photos were from the on the day photographer, we bought them as it seemed the right thing to do being the first time we were out in both cars together after such a long build up, some excellent shots

[lee303]

[lee303]
