Exclamation

Hello

First issue of Fast Road & Track Day goes on sale Jan 15. Check out www.fastroad-mag.com

We need some scoobies to feature. P1 & 22B required for general photo shoot, plus technical features on general maintenance procedures and performance upgrades.

Can anybody help?

Thanks

Barton

Hi Guys

Creepy mate, I’m afraid it wasn't us last year but we will probably be going this year, time permitting, next year if not.

Thanks for the web address Davey. Where did you hear about the site? Do you own a P1?

Thanks again
Barton

Barton, you can use me for a feature if you want, I need/am going to do some "creative driving" training soon, as frankly im a bit crap at the moment! (only 22, have gone from a volvo 440 to a 241bhp rev5 mr2 turbo)

Beforehand I should go round a track in say 45mins loosing the back end every 15 seconds, hopefully afterwards I should at least have a clue what im doing

Im on your forum anyway, member no 2

Hi Matt,

Got any pics of your MR2. Is it a completely standard Turbo Model or have you done anything to it (performance based)?

Well done for logging on to our forum aswell mate. Thanks for the interest and support.

If anyone else wants to check out our forum the address is www.fastroad-mag.com/forum

It needs more people talking on it as well, so if any of you guys fancy a visit feel free.

Barton

Mine is just standard (for now).
If you are after some modded ones, then visit the site. Best thing to do is register on the forum

My car has been modified to what I consider the perfect blend of everyday car and track. You can see the spec here

I work for myself so am always available, and know my way round most of the Uk circuits

I'd say mine was a reasonable blend of road and track as well. 125,000 miles inc 10,500 track ones.

Ed Mate

I have had a look and it is a great example. A sad day though it seems. If you would like to email me a picture of it, I can put it in our classifieds section for next months issue.

If it would help...

Not certain its going now the Solberg edition isn't what I hoped.

Mail me off-line at ejbartlett@lineone.net if you want a feature. It's a good example of what you can do for similar or less money than a 22b, and its much more potent on track.

Why don't you come along to the Southern Track day at Goodwood in April (see trackday forum), Loads of Scoobie's etc there who I don't think would mind having their cars in a Mag.

I've got a track prepared STI RA which has a loads of Mods, I'm about to have a FMIC fitted and then a new remap, also some new coil overs fitted..wouldn't mind a few photos!!
