Danny Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 It's a place in Bradford called cas coatings. They charge £1 per inch plus vat but this was a bit more due to the flakes.I could get my cock sprayed for £4 Keep an eye on them. I know 3 people who have had wheels crack done by them. Apparently they bake the old paint off rather than blast which does funny things to the alloy.Although i had my mini wheels done there 3-4 years ago an no issues.

Prawny Baby Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Lots going on lately. 1x very busy Prawn.Found time last night to go out for a 40 minute thrash at sun set.Was awesome. I even made time to stop and take some daft pictures whilst it was cooling down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Sorry Prawn, but that 3 decal is all sorts of wrong. I can see why you've gone for vertical, but it'd look 10x better in line with the endplate – especially when you adjust the angle of the wing. Such a small thing, but it's all I can look at in those pics! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Apologies I twas only a temporary hand cut out thing for a Sprint a few weeks ago anyway.Will remove it this evening for you I quite like having some orange on the end plate though. It seems to break up the black a little. Need to find an appropriate orange sticker to replace it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Apology accepted, on the assumption the removal takes place. Probably got a fifty6 sticker that size somewhere in amongst all my shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowlly21 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Prawn you car is a beast ! The splitter and rear wing are just ridiculous but I love it haha, do they make a huge difference to the car ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Modified policies, which companies did you guys have success with? Adrian Flux aren't coming up with a nice price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Modified policies, which companies did you guys have success with? Adrian Flux aren't coming up with a nice price If the car is old enough then Green Light, Classicline or whatever classic insurers come up on Google. Otherwise Confused often turn up a decent price now I'm old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Been on confused, not much luck. I'm with Adrian Flux on a classic policy but the changes I want to make means a classic policy won't cover me Modifications: Front seat change Remove rear seats Different wheels Half cage Exhaust Coilovers At a minimum I need the seats covered as they are already done along with wheels and coilovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'm with Brentacre, but they were sure to check that mine didn't have a cage - they're not fans of those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Ah that'll be why, most places like that won't touch a caged car. See if anyone will quote without? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Greenlight have always given me the best price personally, but as mentioned Flux/Brentacre/Sky etc are usually worth a call just to check. Most give some "club" discount if you're on a few forums too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 This car is ace haha my drive back from work today, 65mph on the motorway. Reset the trip at the petrol station too 10 mins before getting on the motorway so none of that resetting whilst coasting bollocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 That sounds like utter shit Paul,I'm with HIC, sister company of Flux, and my mini is insured on a classic for under £200 with all mods declared, 10x more stuff done than the Porsche has! Makes no sense!I've gone off HIC / Flux big time though, fairly useless these days it seems.Greenlight or Brentacre for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 My focus is with Greenlight and the mini is with Flux. I'll be getting a quote from greenlight once the mini insurance is up. They are much better to talk to on the phone than flux too.HIC (Flux) were pure shit when someone drove into my mini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I've had good success with Brentacre. Red Munter news: Slicks are awesome. Car is awesome. Only got 2 clear laps all day without a passenger, which are in the video below. Both of the laps have mistakes but both are mid 1:45s. The fastest ever Mk1 race car lap I can find round Cadwell is 1:45.4, and will have been with a tow. I'll call that mission accomplished 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Got to use an "Emergency Phone" on a motorway for the first time ever today. Alternator shitting the bed (from what I can tell) while you've got 3% battery on your phone = not the one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Adam - what's the typical offset in lap time with a passenger?In the last 5 years of trackdays, I think I've done about 2 sessions without a passenger, ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Adam - what's the typical offset in lap time with a passenger? In the last 5 years of trackdays, I think I've done about 2 sessions without a passenger, ever!About 2 seconds at Cadwell for a light one, nudging 3 for a real sized one, but I'd guess about half that for your car given the weight / power Haha, good stuff, truly communal track car then! The Munter will be always passengered up I think, apart from one session each day chasing a good lap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Interesting, cheers Adam.Typical passenger is Dad, ~100kg.It puts the whole car weight, with me and pax, up to around 1350 when on track, and almost 1400kg on a full tank, which is actually VERY heavy!Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
