how did tynagh go nikki?

it was fucking awesome dude!!!!

so finally took my track virginity! and i dunno why it took so long, yesterday was so much fucking fun, on the same level of fun you would have when you were a kid running around an adventure centre with ball pits and bouncy castles and shit haha.

first session went great, i was scared shitless before getting on track but that instantly changed. did a lap of the track first as advised by everyone just to get an idea of the corners and then i went for it! picked up how to initiate with the hydro quickly

second session the hydro broke so i had to use the standard handbrake, so i was learning how to tap the breaks and then pull the wand.





3rd session rear pads failed and went on fire so i had no more handbrake, so i just clutch kicked, brakes had faded badly so that was kinda scary haha

4th session turbo gaskets went so i lost boost so i had no power so i had to call it a day

still i had so much fun, cant wait for the next day, still buzzing from it!!!

here are some pics and video

[nikkisixx69]

they were lying around my shed for ages, they were juices and he never sold them so i said id buy them off him! kts c pillar brace will be cool as fuark! once ive replaced the small bits that need fixing id nearly consider getting a bolt in cage, just so i can have passengers with me for tynagh

[JDMep82]

Cool cool they are a nice bit! Nice to have them sitting in the shed too ha.. Should have it Thursday il fit it and send you few pics of them, Jesse said there great quality and a rare part.. Have the cusco under parcel shelf brace and a cusco dash dodger so should look decent inside
Be a good idea to get it, peace of mind too

[nikkisixx69]
