I arrived in mondello on the sunday, crossed the bridge and this stood out straight away to me. Followin the build on here and I could not wait to see you out on track but was completely siiiickened when i heard you had problems

Mike is great that we have guys like you so commited and have such a love for the sport. I for one cant wait to see it go great for you and I wish you all the luck in the world with it !!!!

Thanks Eddie, a broken throttle position sensor meant no practice Saturday but 'Cousin Tom' and myself blasted down the Wicklow gap and down past Gorey to Eddie Doyle and we got going for Sunday but there was no time to try any setup changes to make it handle better. It just needs lots more side grip, the forward bite is there I reckon.
I had good craic in Miggy the Monster Academy car at half time though!

A credit to all of you Mike. I have a feeling that when it's 100% it'll repay the sacrifices tenfold!

Please God Dave, can't wait to see it sliding right myself and get comfortable in it and do some coooool shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit I meant those txts I sent you while you were commentating aswell x x x

i only arrived in mondello at half 3 and didnt see this till after the final.. dragged the
girlfriend who was mad to just go home over to see it i got some amount of abuse off
her as it started pissing down heavily.. anyways we got fuckin soaked but twas worth it
man the car is unreal.. love the bridgestone colours and stuff on it and then ye fired
it up to trailer it and the things just sounded insane..
well im talking alot of shit now so ill stop. well done man and to all involved the car is nothing short of epic
i hope it serves ya well and i cant wait to see it in action

Thanks Tom. So what you're saying is the FC made you wet???

the car is a credit to ya, looks awesome .... what make is the spoiler, id say its the same one that was on c-rexs fc ....looks badass , really goes well with the kit.

i should have prob just asked you above as i was sitting in front of ya for the last 16

Cool pic lad, thanks Was that you lovin right in front of me? I was on and off with my helmet to keep the last part of my body which wasn't soaked dry, my head!

well mike you know my thoughts...tis a piece of shit nah lad it looks properly awsome and sounds brilliant i cant wait for you to get her running right

Thanks Jeff, same as that. I'd love to hear it from the outside, it sounds mental inside anyway! It hits this note on the limiter, it does something to your ears, I dunno what it is, you come out of it anyway with your head bursting! That and the smell of race fuel and the fact you cant wind down the lexan windows, and the way it makes power and handles, the whole experience is crazy enough to be perfectly honest ha ha!

Id nearly say its as good lookin as you hunny! !

Ooooooh you charmer You just want to get my race suit off...

Its builds just like this that mean a great deal, its the comradeship, effort, attention to detail and as you said the sacrafice. It has all been seen throughout your whole build

Savage savage job Mike the car is unreal, as stated its a credit both to you and friends involved in building it. best of luck with her lad you deserve it!

Thanks Mike, its a credit to the boys, was good to see you on the grid the last day aswell, well done lad.

i no i said this to u sat nite mike but the car is awesome and its fast turnin into a cult car as there as buzz around the place about it was gutted for u on sat when she wouldn run rite.It sounds the absolute dogs bollox and is a credit to u and all the lads who built it with ya now go get urself a loan of a 180 for the last round to secure ur licence for next year and do every day goin in the fc over the winter and come out all guns blazin next year

keep her lit

Thanks James, thats good advice, well it's either that or make a lot of changes before Japfest, I'll see how the budget is, some castor will help dramatically cos its not trying to return itself at all and were having the shocks softened off a lot too so those two things alone will build in a lot of forgiveness into it I reckon. Its pretty fine when you have it hanging out like, its just getting it to there is the problem. We will sort it anyway with a bit of time and testing.

Amazing Mike!!
Looks even better than I thought it would.. Was looking around for it saturday and found it in the small garage down the back of the pits was looking unreal will call to see it some day properly if your around..

Could try on my 12j and 10j SSR Viennas to tempt you into new wheels

Sound Paul, thanks for the bits too lad. Yeah it looked cool in the garage lol! When it's working properly it should have some presence I'd say.
Be gone with your tempting expensive sweet unreal wheels ha ha! They would prob be my choice in an ideal world! Call over any time lad, sure I'm only over the road!

[DOC23]

Wow......

[hondaluver]

looks fucking amazing Mike, best of luck with it

[ae86-connell]

[hoopsbhoy]

Well after following your build Mike, I know it was going to be something special and it certainly is. Cant wait to both see and hear it out on track.

People like yourself and builds like this are what keep pushing drivers and the sport in this country.

Best of luck with it
