Toyota MR2

So silly as they have driven at least 4 MR2's entries away with thier silly rule, & no amount of asking for it to be amended has achieved anything.
The Javelin argument is that in a crash it could come loose & become a projectile/missile, the fact is it's not exactly balanced in there it's well held in & any part of the car which isn't welded on could become a projectile/missile in a crash, however this is apparently irrelevant.
I have a friend who sprints an MR2 Turbo T-bar at MSA events & they don't bat an eyelid!

If there's a change I'll let you know on here.

Take a look in the sprint section Dan, there's loads of info in there, save hijacking your thread.

No mods necessary for the roadgoing classes. Helmet, overalls, gloves, competition licence and that's about it.

Right after taking Gerrys advice on a couple of recent points i will be doing a couple of sprints mid to late this year

and i will invest in some new BC coilovers

Whilst dreaming about the fourth comming Marham event i decided on making a small purchase, only cost

Today the video recorder ^ came through the post

And for extra safety so it doesnt fly off round the track. I've drilled two through holes to run a couple of cable ties through to secure it further

now working on a spoiler mount so i can get some side body work video

when the weathers better ill take it out and give it a run to snett and back to see what the quality's like

Very interesting Dan- I'll be keeping an eye on this. I've been thinking about a cheap video recorder for trackdays for a while now, and this could be ideal.

for what it is and what i want it to do i cant really go wrong with it

but its first proper field test will be Marham. but i will no doubt have some road footage soon
