humayun Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 My staurday started with me going to Homebase (2 mins away from my house) to get the car washed. Lazy I know, but they do a good job for a fiver. Sods law it rained straight after. I then decided to go and see what was happening at the Goodwood Motor Circuit (again only 2 mins away from my house), as there is usually something happening on saturdays. It was an MG Track day, not my kind of thing, but some nice motors were there. I dried my car again with a chamois and took some pics, after which i drove round to the pit side of the track to see some cars up close. It was 11.45 when I heard one of the organisers holler at a few drivers to get in line for the 'Parade Lap'. I asked him what this meant, it's a lunch time Parade Lap done for charity where all cars are allowed on track (no racing). I was allowed to take part for a £10 donation. So i went from being a nosey spectator to getting 3 laps on the Goodwood Race Circuit. I apologise if this has been boring to read, but it made my day And here ar the pics of my car. Enjoy. And a brutal MG that I thought was only a concept?? There were 2 of these, the other was grey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen6GT Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Nice Gen 6, and White with White wheels looks really good. How much is it lowered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humayun Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Thanks mate. I got the springs with the car, not sure, but i'd day about 40mm altho the right hand side of the car looks lower, wheter it is coz i'm heavy, or the fact that the shocks are due to be replaced, i don't know lol. I do have TRD Coilovers waiting to be fitted, so it will be lower. I also plan to have the roof done in gloss black, wheels also in gloss black and same again with the rear number plate surround. Any thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnyboy1976 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 What about a cf rear number plate surround ? Car looks sweet - think the black roof could work red recaro seats would finish it nicely - jdm type r look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmotorsport Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 dont do black wheels, white on white ftw, a black roof may look good tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humayun Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys. Red Recaro's would be sweet, mega money tho. I have been in contact with Wrappers De-Lite and defo having the read number plate surround carbon wrapped. dont do black wheels, white on white ftw, a black roof may look good tho I do like the wheels in white, i may just get them refurbed in the body colour.

humayun Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Black Recaro's from JDM DC2 Integra's are nice. Much more subtle than the in your face red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am now determined to do a proper track day at Goodwood. It would be awsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
