Hi folks,

Just a few pics from Japfest this year, the weather was remarkably kind for Castle Combe with no rain and lots of sunshine.

The DC Stand


Nice Clean ST185 on the DC stand


Dan's Black Castrol ST205


Phil's new ST205 with flippy paint, this is about 6 different colours depending on viewing angle


Steve Gillies ST165 still going strong


Cool Subaru pickup truck


Tuning Developments ST205 with Caldina side feed manifold


Mixer's newly repaired ST185 - put in a good performance on track


Nice ST205 on TCB stand with moulded in bumper and side skirts, the work appeared to be of high quality

Good pics, and a great day as well.

Feel for the people who were stuck in the traffic for hours though.

Yeah - there are stories on Facebook of poeple waiting over 4 hours, then being turned away by the police as the venue was full, despite them having prepaid tickets.

Hi Dale,

Membership is free now, as you have been a member in the past I have just re-enabled you as a full member.

If you go in the club events section you can sign up for rallyday which is also at Combe and has track time if you are quick.

Love that orange flip paint on Phils ST205. Is that a Lamborghini colour by any chance? Paint code would be good

Hi,


I bought the car like this, and a pig to touch up I would guess.

The paint is:-

E-6002-2 1 Litre Ecstasy Amber Gold (Green To Gold) £217.21

From:- http://www.outrageousfinishes.co.uk/products/ecstasy/

Not sure what base coat is though, but some shade of red.

Toying with the idea of a respray as the bottom looks a bit of a mess where I took the side skirts and front splitter off and then splashed some paint over the original silver so it looked a bit better for Japfest.

Then I am thinking, I am doing Auto Tests and track days, and It is not a show car, so why bother.

Still looks cool though.

Cheers

Phil

You can buy lots of goodies for the cost of a respray
