well the little pug had its first outing and with no major issues at snetterton
we had a major upset the night before the trackday where the rear rims would not fit even with spacers, so it was decision time after the r888's were a no go

we opted to go ahead with the hardest rubber tyres known to man and standard suspension, the result of this was interesting but a bloody good laugh whilst trying to get out of everyones way

the little pug named piere had its bollocks well and truly squeezed all day by four different drivers lap after lap
no cooling down time atall and it lapped it up bouncing of the rev limiter, brakes coped well and engine temps where spot on, i'v never had a car do this
next up is full suspension, correct fitting 15's so we can run r888's
and a whole lot of lightening

only issue of the day really was the intake tube decided to collapse itself under throttle so reducing power even more (if that could be possible)

piere has suprised us all
viva le french piece of toot

Sounds like a right giggle mate

After Ben's Dad has gently nursed it over the last few years, I bet it had some cobwebs to blow out! Do you think the car has some potential then? (Or is this just you getting carried away

)

i think with some kind of handling/grip it will be alright, obviously slow on the straights but for budget trackdaying you are going to be

a good 'spare' car for when the golf is in need of work or someone wants to join in the fun
the lift of oversteer is funny as hell

i cheeky pic of piere, the trusty pug that drove to luxembourg and back without a hiccup (apart from being a little thirsty and bloody uncomfortable)

viva le piere
