Sorry just put the F3 on for a mate, Driving Spanner I do not no what flip paint is,all I can tell you is that its the same as the Sauber F1 car,Jason at JLF painted my helmet with it last year and he told me the code,it is the muts nuts!

Mackmot · 25 Jan 2004, 01:08 (Ref:849755)

I think by flip paint he means that pearlescent type stuff like on John's F3000.

Comtec Renault · 25 Jan 2004, 08:07 (Ref:849850)

Ok then yes it is a type of flip paint

Hey ComtecRenault,
I am in the process of trying to persuade my wife that we should buy a motorhome to make life more pleasant and enjoy some family trips and if the motorhome happened to be unused when I was going racing I suppose I could use it then....
At the moment my wife thinks that any spare money would be far better spent buying a bigger house, but hey thats what marital negotiations are all about.
I thought that by buying a Motorhome magazine and leaving it lying about may start to ease the decision. Finally the beloved opens the magazine MMM Feb2004 to immediately see your picture and story about you new RV. Oh dear, she thought that the story was some deliberate guise on my part and I am back to square one.
Kickstart

P.S hope you enjoy the motorhome - keep repeating to myself - I am not jealous

Comtec Renault · 25 Jan 2004, 19:02 (Ref:850176)

Hi kikstart
I have not seen MMM feb yet, it must be in, I have used it once last year for the Mallory 750 race then to Brands for the Mono race,its Fab ,my wife did not want one at all but we borrowed my brothers for the Mono race at Spa last year and luckily for me she fell in love with the idea.We will use it as much as poss this season,I just got one of those Turbo boosters from Belgium,she can top 100mph now but you can not stop it! You need to have a good go at her and try one She will love it.Good Luck

Lola · 27 Jan 2004, 09:48 (Ref:852018)

I have pearlescent paint on my mono too.
But its a b@g~?$ to repair if you dink it.

Comtec Renault · 27 Jan 2004, 12:21 (Ref:852158)

looks good is it a Reynard,and did you do Oulton last year!

Lola · 28 Jan 2004, 09:04 (Ref:853300)

yes i did. Remember how i beat you into the first corner on the first start!.....
But then you passed me as we finished the lap... boo hoo

its a Reynard 883 F3 with a VW 16v engine.

Comtec Renault · 28 Jan 2004, 12:11 (Ref:853484)

That was some start, I thought I got away well,but you shot past(have you got traction control )haha

Lola · 28 Jan 2004, 13:18 (Ref:853578)

The Reynard produces some amazing starts but when you have a bad one.... you really suffer.
It has a hill climb 9/31 diff. So low down its amazing but you do lose out on high end gear ratios.

Comtec Renault · 28 Jan 2004, 15:39 (Ref:853770)

Will you be at silverstone on the 13th of March!

Lola · 28 Jan 2004, 15:42 (Ref:853775)

I hope so. Just got to sort out the money side of it.
As for starts i neally hit you at Castle Combe last year. From 6yh on the grid i was 2nd at the end of the first lap. You bulked me a bit on the run up to quarry.

Comtec Renault · 28 Jan 2004, 18:32 (Ref:854019)

Nononono well maybe I was just determined to beat Andy Uttley,and I new I had to keep him in the pressure zone so he would fall,and bugger me he did!

Comtec Renault · 29 Jan 2004, 09:58 (Ref:854855)

She,s nearly ready to go for her exhaust and looking mighty fine.

kickstart · 29 Jan 2004, 17:14 (Ref:855354)

Hey Comtec, I understand that you will be racing mono and F4 this year. Which championship are you going to try and win ?
I suspect that we will meet a number of times this year as I am doing my favourite tracks with the F4 and the mono clubs. If you look a long way back behind you on the grid you should see my black Tatuus. Roll on Donnington on the 20th March.

Driving Spanner · 29 Jan 2004, 21:55 (Ref:855701)

Where is she going for the exhaust? will it be a Competition Fabrication job, one of Nicks specials?

Comtec Renault · 29 Jan 2004, 22:13 (Ref:855715)

She,s off to Nick P he has done all four cars so far and he does such a good job,his latest 04 one on my Van Diemen and soon this Mygalle are the mutts nuts,Kickstart I will start both and see what comes last year I did not think I would do all the Mono, It would be nice to try and win the 750 back to back with the Mono but you never no what will hapen.
also I must give the team 100% this year so my fun will take second base.

Redracer77 · 30 Jan 2004, 00:04 (Ref:855790)

Comtec are you sponsored by RedBull or is that just to look good? The car looks great - you want to sell it!!

Comtec Renault · 30 Jan 2004, 07:55 (Ref:856037)

Yes we have had Red bull for 4 years now but just in a small way,but for 04 we will push the brand more.

Lola · 30 Jan 2004, 16:51 (Ref:856595)

We had to make an exhaust for the Reynard.
So we thought with an empty sidepod why not use it....
So we put the silencer in there.

Comtec Renault · 30 Jan 2004, 17:30 (Ref:856650)

Thats cool Lola,I like that idea,I fancy putting chimneys on like F1.
Here is a pi of the new baby finished at Comtec with her proud parents.hehehe

Comtec Renault · 31 Jan 2004, 10:30 (Ref:857376)

here is Adrian Kidds new Van Diemen 750 F4 in build near Snetterton

Lola · 31 Jan 2004, 12:00 (Ref:857485)

The new baby looks fantastic!
If we had a little more time we were thinking of doing that. Our silencer is a little large anyway. It only puts out @103db.........
and 90db when the noise is checked from the rear or the car..

Comtec Renault · 31 Jan 2004, 13:35 (Ref:857565)

You can just see the old style exhaust on my car,my new one has a much better one I will post a pic of that when I get it back.

Andrew Kitson · 31 Jan 2004, 13:48 (Ref:857572)

Believe me the new car looks fantastic up close. The blue paint will look incredible on a bright sunny day. You can't get an idea from these shots on the PC. Thanks for showing us yesterday Comtec. Can't wait to hear of the reaction to your Renault signing!
