Have sent him a message, see if there's anymore spec, also runs No. 67, must be a 4G thing!

Great vid He just needs a bit more power in the straights.

How I wish we had a track in Malta, to do something like this we have to go to Sicilly

[Tahir]

I think you would embarass him Pete, any pics of his car?

Been subscribed to Richards channel for a while! Shame he doesn't post many vids.

Would like to know more about the car too.

Also sorry to thread jack but im a massive 80's- 90's touring car fan myself and always wondered what happened to the following cars....

Ray Armes raced a 4g hatchback in the 1989 season of the BTCC. Didn't enter until round 7 IIRC but quickly dominated class D with his Civic.



Heres some footage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Nmnn-TU ... re=related Skip to 1.30

The following year in 1990 Ray Armes again entered a Civic into the BTCC, but this time a Sedan. Now apparently a 2.0 litre to meet the new regulations. Ran by the Trakstar team IIRC.



Skip to 4.20 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSpGfW36 ... re=related

And finally in 1993 a team entered a 4g into the Willhire 24 hour race at Thruxton. I cant find a picture, but theres some preety good footage of it on the following video. It was even catching the 5g works Castrol Civics that Honda had entered towards the end of the race lol!

Skip to 7.00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhftUvmD8s8


PS it has taken me 2 hours to write this post due to this gay forum not opening youtube links in a different window!!!!!

Tbh, I think he looks relatively new to racing T, and the car doesn't look as tweeked as mine, still going well I thought though. Cant find any pics of it although I know its yellow and black from another vid.

His car actually looks similar to that I think, yellow and black anyway.

Great vids those, racing really was at its best before 2000 I reckon, we had the cossie and E30 BMW's in the 80's/early 90's and then we had the super tourers of the late 90's (Best era for BTCC IMO) with just about every manufacture taking part, Alfa, Audi, BMW, Nissan, Honda, Mazda, Toyota, Vauxhall, Peugeot, Ford plus probably some I forgot.

Haha, dems fighting words.

Got a response off Richard about the car, tis a B16B, very nice, would be great to see the car out again next year although sounds like he's going to be in a skyline! Booooooo!

Have you got any pics of the car Barry, be great to see some.

[Captain_Crustacean]

Yes, think you'd need to do something like that, was a bit deafening last time.

I might see if I can stick a passenger seat in mine next time round, I do miss being able to take people out for a spin.

[walsh123]

Not to worry i have a few spare exhausts im sure i can make something work

You should i definately be up for going for a spin be nice to see what a proper track set up car is like.
