Thanks chaps.

Here's another video. The ep3 has just been freshly prepped to race;

I damaged my clutch plate at Snetterton & now struggle to engage gears when
stationary. On Rich's (PAW) advice, he's ordered me one of these;

Hey Tom.

How you doing buddy. The rex looks like a beast around the track. Some nice driving.

Do love your videos.

Hope you get the clutch sorted soon.

It looks good. I hate clutches/gearboxes, I have had no end of issues so I feel your pain

Hi Dino - what you driving at the moment?

Rich says the existing clutch was already in the car when he
did the race build so it's had at least 5 years of track abuse!
I think it's a standard-ish one so hopefully the new one will
last ages.

This year on track days, I've had 4 race instructors compliment
me on the Crx & the way it goes - feeling the love!

Hey Tom.. great news.

Currently in a Saab 9-5 Aero but coming back to a lude in a bit over a weeks time so hoping to do a couple of track days next year. Maybe join you out on track some time.

Due to various reasons the new clutch never got
fitted in time for Donington

Only thing to do is to call on my Dc2 daily driver

.
Dug out some part-worn track pads from my old bb1
& popped in track brake fluid. Then fitted the passenger
harnesses from the Crx & we were good to go!

Weather was appalling & the videos do not convey how
ridiculously slippery the track was.

This was as good as it got & my car was on a knife edge
through all the corners. I'm trying to keep up with my
friend in his 380bhp M135i

This video shows just how tricky conditions were

Another new thread, saw the vids and I like a lot, makes me want a track car.. The lasttime I was on a track must have been 9 years ago.. The best fun for any car guy.

Your Teg sounds great

I hate conditions like those, a dry line but if you go off it there is no grip.
