LAST UPDATE OF THE YEAR (POSSIBLY)!........,,
Tonight's update! It has been a while!
Bit of a poor show this year as far as track days go, only done 6, most of those wet which whilst good fun never really hit the spot :down:
Anyway, cars all set up, washed, polished and ready to battle at the...
Coming together Cally..... We'll see those times coming down shortly
Did you feel the benefit of the coil-overs or was the electric problem to off putting?
PERFORMANCE FRENCH NIGHT -
Pictures say it all really :cool:
These were taken at the end of the night..... A few battle scars on a few cars but all in all fun time had by all I think......
I still have the rumble from either the box or the hub, possibly slight play in the wheel bearing so...
Well a different day at KNOCKHILL today!
We were meant to be on track this weekend but Renault booked the track for their driving experience day and we have been pushed to end of September! Typical as the weather today was perfect for once!!,
They brought an army of cars and had 7 or 8 Megane...
Well boredom has set in again! So that means eBay!!
This time a cheap modification which I'm hoping makes a big difference! After getting the HANS device it's very hard to turn your head and look down pit lane, so thought I'd try one of the wide angle mirrors......
I got the one that clips...
Well another minor update today...... Lack of track time is really bothering me now!! Car has sat for another month and did nothing with the next outing not until the end of August :poo:
So, not being a 100% happy with the DS 1.11s, I've switched back to RC8's. The main reason for the change...
Well shaft changed! - no sign of any issue on the bearings to the box end, but the CV joint did feel a little loose compared to the new one (as you would expect).... Initial spin round the block and all seems silent, but it will need track to determine if it's fixed or not! Must get something...
I used to drive it there and back, but as we are now chasing times having a trailer gives you that comfort to push a little harder and still have a way to get the car home if the worst happens (breakdown / damage etc).
Mine generally looks like a very clean road car, but It still draws the...
Uniroyal rainsport 3s seem to be the choice for Knockhill. Wet grip A rating and all the high powered Evo's & Cosworth's seem to run them as well... also in 15" format £132 for 4!
Sitechs VR46 wrapped one, it looks amazing! It was at KNOCKHILL a few weeks ago, but more for show as I believe it's still a work in progress, but it looked awesome and seemingly will be / is a real weapon
loud grumble on right turn under load. Having never experienced French problems before a few guys at the track came out for a lap and came up with the tri bearing on the end of the shaft as seemingly they can get very noisy before they go..... there doesn't seem to be any play on the wheel...
FLOL - cheers mate, I actually noticed yours when I came in as I said to Fraser is that Johns RB (OZ's make it stand out) but I couldn't find you until we were closing up shop and I saw your RB cocking its rear wheel at the banking and you with the camera in hand :smile: to be fair it does make...
None taken mate, each to their own. It actually looks worse on the graphite ones, but they got sold at the car show yesterday so more silver to come, just in a slightly different style 🙈
Well interesting weekend for the Trophy! Saturday track day, hour and a half and it was back on the trailer. Either a wheel bearing or n/s drive shaft bearings away do no risking explosion and new shaft and bearings will be ordered tomorrow, east of track money but possibly a bigger saving in...
And they really aren't up to hard track use.... Used once, never again.... Can't fault the DS 1.11s so far but need a good dry. Learn your car on the DS 2500s and get rid of them Andy
Thanks mate.
Yeah your right. It's working out ok though. The plan for external modification was to be subtle but in your face at the same time, so I'm happy with it.
re the panels that was my thought at the end of the day too, that all bits can be replaced if required, but I think 381 will...
