Yeah looking forward to it mate, you've got the g29 haven't you?

Just ordered the Logitech G29 and Wheel stand Pro V2 deluxe for this, cannot wait!!!

Defo wasn't fuel starvation as it accelerated. Anyway the car was faultless at Oulton on Saturday, so must have been something random that fixed itself...I hope, lol.

Going to be trying this tomorrow as well as 2nd feels to low for shell, hislops/knickerbrook and lodge. Gonna do 5 laps using 3rd and 5 using 2nd and see the difference.

Its crazy just how much speed you can take through shell with the asts on, it just spits you out the other end.

Cheers mate, will start them around 27 front and 30 rear (normally 25 front/27 rear) and take it from there, and yeah you're right as I didn't get more than 4 laps in a row due to all the red flags, just normally they are up to temp after a lap or 2.

Really struggled to get heat into my tyres at Oulton on Saturday and it was only around 7 degrees. I'm back there tomorrow and its 2 degrees. Any thoughts how to gain heat into my tyres as there's so much conflicting info online. Some say reduce pressures others say increase, also some say...

Toe out

Was this at Oulton on Saturday?

We'v recently moved house and it took 3 weeks to activate. I thought bt sport came free with broadband?

I just use these and bend them into a L shape. https://www.msar.co.uk/motorsports/Harnesses/Harness-Accessories/Harness-Hardware/Schroth-B23A-Bracket_88.html

Probably mate, most tracks I do are clockwise as are roundabouts so its probably been rubbing away for months, years even.

Don't think so mate, Carl taped them up good and proper. I'm just gonna see how it is tomorrow on track, I'll just have to take it easy for the first few sessions building up.

Haha, I need my ears testing, lol.

Ok so whilst going around right hand bends the car lurches forward like I've stamped on the throttle, only does it when really pushing on. We thought we'd found the issue were the upper plastic intake pipe was rubbing on the ECU harness wires and had actually exposed the can signal wires to the...

You'll be fine with everything you have mentioned if its your first track day, and bravo for the track tuition as most wanna be Lewis Hamilton types think its beneath them. Maybe take a set of spare front pads as OE can wear very fast on track as I learnt on my first track day, which ruined my...

Just to update on this why my aux belt went and took the cambelt with it...bloody alternator bearing gave up and you could actually pull the shaft in and out causing the aux belt to shite itself.

Get booked into Adam at Clearmotorsport to do it (below), he's only a couple of hours up the M6 from you and will do it whilst you wait and he's really competitive price wise but he'll only be able to get you booked in, in the new year. I'm booked into him for Feb. If you cant wait and need a...

Sure its 11mm for caliper lines and 13mm for ABS pump and MC lines.

As above if the tyres are brand new they'll have a coating of mould release and need a heat cycle. If on track you still can't stop the rear from trying to overtake you try unhooking the rarb. Small damper and tyre pressure adjustments first though. You can lose bloody hours pissing about with...

Jesus is that what it cost to repair yeah! Glad I went EPAS now for that reason alone, lol.

Yeah its awful, see what you think though. Are you considering EPAS?

Yeah no worries mate, make sure you have your Weetabix for breakfast as with no assistance its horrendous. Spirited driving on the road I'm a 1/4 of a turn from full assistance. Tried it with no assistance and nearly didn't make the corning it was that stiff, lol. On track it will be around 1/2...

Erm...needs a bit of getting used to but is much better than the HPAS but my rack bushes where non existent so it was always going to feel better. I'm at Oulton Saturday so that's the real test but it should be much better.

40 clicks, wow that's total overkill. I started full soft with the AST's and adjusted accordingly one click at a time (13 clicks total), you'll need to do around 3 clicks at a time then. I've got the rear stiffer than the front, 4 clicks from soft rear and 3 clicks from soft front, but I'm...

Use the DCI rack as well as its slightly less weight and is solid mounted so no rack bushes, and you can use your existing track rods and ends. I've just had all the above done and its definitely worthwhile, are you going with the controller as well for the EPAS?

I've used this guy for call outs in the past... https://www.therenaultman.com/

Haha not much knowledge as i have no idea what an 02J conversion is. Maybe a vag lump? If turbo charged then the same principle applies. Do you have much track experience?

Its not so much the hp increase that can be the issue its the torque, more so how its delivered. But i do agree more is not always better especially in a front crawler on track.

Just picked my car up from EFI after having 197 cams, EPAS, PMS top mounts, black poly bushes to wishones, inner/outer ARB , also had the aircon deleted. Feels like a totally different car now and the performance is night and day over the OE cams and map. Revs its nuts off all the way to 7.5k...
