Some A hole in a satin black mr2 thinking he's senna!

I think their open pit sessions are fine.

In the 4-5 track days I've done, there's only been one incident of people getting black flagged and that was the Mini's (from the Mini Cup)... But they were 'playing' like it was race day which wasn't reassuring for lesser drivers.
They got pulled in, given a warning. They done it again. Then they got black flagged
Other than that, it's fine!

Fronts - Buddy club P1: 16 X 7.5, offset 32 with 225/45 ZR16.
Rears - Ultralite D1: 17 x9, offset 37 with 255 /40 ZR17.

Can anyone suggest what pressure I should set these at for track use???

[J-1]

Well, first track outing last night for the first time in two years. The car is totally different! It actually feels like a track car instead of a road car that's (ab)used on track.

It's a lot stiffer with the cage welded in, bigger / wider wheels with R888's. The Carbotech XP10's are incredible. Unreal how strong they are.
Standard discs, XP10's, Motul RBF600 brake fluid and braided hoses - not the most expensive set up but very effective.
Even had them glowing!!

The exhaust, a shorter more direct route, was perfect as well. The BMIC was fine too, apart from hoses popping off a couple of times.

Had to brutalise the arches and raise the rear a bit, but still managed to groove the tyre...

Arch extensions are getting ordered along with some track tuition.

Will be awesome once the geo kit is fitted (arrived yesterday!).

My plan is to learn to drive 300bhp effectively before I go for more power.

Video is uploading so will post ASAP.

The GoPro Hero 3 is incredibe too!

Looks like fun- nice one bud

You definitely need some wider arches in there

When's you next outing?

[craig]

Looks like fun! Nice one.

[stephano]

Nicely done very smooth,
Were you getting a tad of understeer in the last corner?

[J-1]

Nah, no under steer at all. Had a few twitches of oversteer during the track night but not to any great extent!

[J-1]

Car is going to get geometry kit installed and set up at the end of next week.
Going 1.5 degrees at the front and 2.5 degrees at the rear to start with.

Arch extensions have been ordered too. Will be here in 4 weeks

[J-1]

Geo kit installed with no issues. Arch extensions on.

Just got to get it set up.

[matgd]

Keep us updated on your next trackday mate, I'll pop up and watch/say hi.

[J-1]

Will do mate.

No idea when it'll be. Hopefully the next time I'm home.

[J-1]

Geometry kit is on, but still not managed to get it to Pro-Grip to have it set up yet...

Starting to think about selling it because I never seem to have time for it anymore...
