Trackday thread.

Will be booking myself on some track days soon (once i get paid) - already paid for the RSOC Regional day at Croft Circuit this year (weekend jobbie)

YouTube - Croft RSOC - Jamz Chase Luke

Had some issues with boost last year, only producing 0.5 bar instead of the 1.2 it was supposed to get (didn't find the problem till the last session - waste-gate arm had fallen off the actuator rod)

Will try and get myself to Snetterton and Cadwell this year hopefully

Ah, the racing driver excuse No: 232 in the book .

Quiet for a Subaru as well, much nicer than the stupid BB's that seem to be fitted to most of them.

Aye has to be quiet to get on Croft, strict low noise emissions there due to ex wife/neighbours complaining. Saying that, the exahust I have on never changes, only 89db at the scrutineers checks.

Did Oulton, car lasted 7 laps (drive shaft popped out of the diff and it dropped oil onto the hot exhaust). A rear mirror full of white smoke had me thinking the worse until we checked it back in the paddock.

Fixed now & just booked Bedford for the 28th (local to me) for a shake down to see if all is ok as the car is currently sorn.

Fingers crossed all is ok, if not, 2 new drive shaft outer hubs will need to be ordered.

Hope that all sorts out well for you.....I know how much it costs to run a track car on the road!

Cheers

Btw, just seen Bedford on the 21st is a bargain at £99 ( the week before I have booked )

Bedford GT Circuit - Monday 21st March 2011

Definitely doing Cadwell on the 25th now.

Dixcel disks, pads and RBF600 fluid going in tomorrow!

bearman3784

you getting them fiited at DMS by chance?

lovegroova

I bought them from DMS (Dixon), but I'm getting the work done locally to me. Normally I do the pads myself, but I had some problems with the discs last time I tried and I'm not messing about with brake fluid given my general mechanical ineptitude!

The discs and pads are superb for track use.

Just out of interest, why do you ask?
