Its always an age old question. Go for the colour you want whether that’s OE or not. Its your car, you have to enjoy it.
Originally was Laser Blue = B85 - the VIN plate should confirm it
2005 I’ve still got the t-shirt
That was when I still had the 111S and we’d not met, I think
Just alittle update
Sorted the strange belt slipping noise from the supercharger when high in the revs,
I also changed the air filter to more of an open filter to give it alittle more induction noise
Changed a few geo settings and took it for a little test
Was now all ready for Snetterton on the 1st April
Which was an interesting day being very wet for most of the morning not ideal for ZZR
There where loads of red flags and a few longish stoppages.
Was nice to meet bobby who pop along on his bike
Mid afternoon it started to dry and managed to get some good laps in
Around 2:30 it started rainning again so pack up and headed home.
I have a little list of parts I need to get
main one is updated/grading the Shifter.
Good to see it in action again👍
Good to meet you Grant, I hope the wallet has taken a bashing!
Car looks great
More Track Time done
Wasn’t planning on doing another some soon but a few friends where doing it and I’ve not done Donington in years.
Since Snetterton I’ve not done anything with the car apart from alittle tweek to the geo and ride height
The last trackday was the 1st time using the car since swapping the disc and pads wasn’t that happy with then but put it down to bedding in.
So I was looking forward to see how they would perform at Donington and they felt the same and wasn’t confident on them had a few moments due to this, apart from that and think it’s time for some new tyres the day was really good and enjoyed Donington park and it stayed dried all day which is always good.
Time to investigate the brakes issue and get some parts ordered ready for Goodwood in a few months
I’ve uploaded some videos on YouTube aswell
Pretty Un-nerving badging no faith in your stoppers.
Enjoying the updates
Nice driving despite the braking issues! Looks like the car is hustling along nicely!
Great videos & pics and great seeing the Exige back out being used as intended
Thanks for the comments
Gonna strip the whole braking system down and see what’s up
Bit off progress
Post Donnie check over
Noticed my suspension bolt was bent(to much curbs)
So replaced all bolts on the front and new spacers
Also started on the brake system
Thought while I had everything off I’ll Refurb the calipers
You must have been (ab)using those curves.
I suppose you paid for all the circuit, you are using all the circuit
Updated time
Made a new front splitter and had a longer rear diffuser made
I also ordered some new tyres went for AR1 but up the sizes 205/45 front and 235/45 rears
Finished of painting the calibers
No I was ready for Goodwood
Goodwood was fun got some good laps in I forgot how fast the circuit is
Still having problems with my brakes I seems to be the cap of the reservoir not sealing I’ve tried to found on but no joy emailed ap about replacing the reservoir but they not much help.
A few more things planned in the next few months
You wont miss those calipers! Inspired by a cadbury colour?
