In November I got through 2 trackdays, Teesside and Croft.

At Teesside

first of all my camber arm came loose at the adjusting point, resulting in a heavy clunk under hard cornering. Took ages to find out what it was! Then my dizzy died. When it was working though, the car was fast! Here's a video:

Here are a few pics of the car on the day, photographer said he only got the camera out so he could use my car to promote his site lol. Fair enough! resulted in quite a few nice pics:

It was unfortunate that the car spent most of the day like this but oh well

anyway I got the dizzzy bodged back together and made it home OK. Unfortunately I was working all weekend so didn't have much time to look over the car before croft! The best I could do was a quick check of the oil on Thursday night:

Anyway, Croft was soaking!

Unfortunately what I thought was me running out of fuel ended up being the distributor dieing again. This time it wasn't going anywhere though, so I had to get her trailered home. Luckily the lads from Vasstech lent us a trailer and a Sharan to pull it with! :)

As you can see in the last pic I was overly curious to check out the condition of the dizzy. It seemed fine. Hmm.

I didn't get another chance to look at it either until yesterday morning

Absolutely no clue as to what's broken. Everything seems fine and it fired up first time. Slight misfire in VTEC though! Need to have a proper look at it on my days off.

Got me to the gym alright though lol!

That's us about up to date...

Spot the new motor btw :)

So Brands Hatch went quite smoothly until I broke my brakes!

I went down and stayed at pwizzles the night before. He needed to fit his bucket seat as I only have one at the moment.

On the way down I got into trouble with the caravan police

Also fitted my original clocks again the other day, this is where my revs sit at 80 on the motorway, just over 5k!

Onto brands:

Lambo was slow, obviously.

You might notice this car is on Belgian plates. This is my mate Filip who I met at the 'ring in October. He said he wanted to come to the UK for a trackday... car friends are car friends regardless of where you're from!

As per usual after every session I was checking my oil. Pwizzle did it this time:

and this is how the day ended as I was going out to do my final session, I noticed a crack in my discs

Nevermind, they have been on the car since I got it 2.5 years ago :lol:

I didn't really fancy the 5 hour drive home after Brands so decided to go back to Essex to chill with the 6two1 crew. Ended up fitting coilovers to a DC2 which finished at around 1am :evil:

Finally home! 500 relatively faultless miles. Now to check those brakes..

Oh :lol:

New pads and discs on order. Probably going to go for CL RC6 again :)
 
Haha thanks man!

Well I got the new brakes on today, one side at least! Thanks to Burn! Motorsport/Spoon Sports Europe for sorting me out on a quality Dixcel combo!

As mentioned above my track videos are now online too:

The funny one:
The short one:
The one with the DC5:
 
I'd love to go to a UK track day when my integra is finished.
Is there a website i can check for possible dates, prices and such ?
 
Ok, I'm going to update what's been going on for the past 2 months... later.

In short, the DC5 has gone, it was replaced by a DC2, that has gone, I now own an EP3 and a BMW 330i, the VTEC Challenge trackday at Combe killed my car, but I fixed it
