Where abouts are you?

As per usual, a great write up! Really enjoyed reading that and you always manage to bag some nice photo's too:)

Lol. Sorry Simon, moment of madness. Good to meet you too and your car also goes very well. Will let you know when we book our next day.

Cheers Tony. Sure did feel strange at first! Didn't expect you to trek up there for a 3rd time in a week:) will try and get a day in before the end of the year, possibly at Donnington.

Oulton Park Track day - 9th November After 12 months of no track action Mike and I attended Oulton Park on an Open Pit day held by Circuit Days Upon our arrival the paddock looked rather busy but sometimes trailers and support cars exaggerate the number of attendees/cars out on track. The...

Pre Oulton Park prep Over the last 2 days I have sorted out a few little things before our track day at Oulton Park tomorrow. Our PAS was weeping from the low pressure return line to the header tank. It was a small leak that produced a drop o fluid now and again but it has been bugging me...

Great result guys! Really well deserved. Even though I only attended the last race of the season it was clear to see that both of you really gave it your all. I was really impressed with the attention to detail you gave to everything, not just the car. It looked a well oiled operation and that...

Nice one James! Didn't realise you were popping along:)

Cheers Matt, I will take the camera with us and we still have the mount attached to the cage so will try and get some onboard footage too. Havent looked at the weather yet and porbably wont do until Thursday as its so mixed at the moment. To be honest i used to pray for decent weather but have...

Ahh - was it you you Mike bought the ticket off? If so, thanks for that! - cannot wait now:)

Shame. It would have been good to get some tips from you Tony.

Nice one! Wondered if anyone else was attending. See you Friday - lets hope the weather is kind to us!

Update# 25 - Brake caliper overhall In preparation to our track day at Oulton Park this coming Friday Mike and i today tackled an issue we have had for a while with the front brakes. The car pulls to the left under braking and the passenger side wheel always get covered in more brake dust than...

Update #24 - Door cards Last week i ordered a few bits and pieces off eBay in preparation to make some door cards this weekend. Seeing a few of the race cars the other weekend at Oulton Park confirmed that foam board is an ideal lightweight material perfect for this application. I ordered 2...

Follow Chipssuggestions as it could be a duff motor Re reading your post it still sounds like you have intermittent issues with you solenoid trigger wire too. If the starter is still out of the car you could earth it (jump lead) and extend the trigger wire to the starter. Atleast then you can...

Ps. When you do find the relay terminal just run a new wire down to the solenoid. Hello of a lot easier than repairing the original.

Ah. Cannot remember the exact relay now Jonny. To be honest there aren't that many relays in the engine fuse box. I just tested for contunuity to find ours but you might not be able to do that if the wire is dodgy. Will see of I can find a pic

Cheers Jonny. Cadwell is on my tracks to do list. Quite a distance from us though. I used to do some work out that way and the last 80 miles are proper tractor country:) Out of interest was it this Sunday coming or the following one? Re the ethonal. Fred did mention we would need new fuel lines...

Still doing some research Jonny. Reading on some of the suppliers sites the kits can piggy back of std ecu and the wiring is minimal/plug and play. Not sure it will happen but something to think about. Bedford is a no go next Saturday. 34th on the reserve list. Lol. Now looking for...

Haha. I will hug a tree if it means 106 octane! ;)

I very very much doubt it to be honest. Paul didnt suggest it either. Almost straight runners with good radius velocity stacks should flow mmore air than the std item. The air box has a larger internal volume compared to the original part too, which ultimately should help top end power. Even the...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Excellent write up(s) James. Reading on my phone the page kept scrolling and scrolling. Lol. I haven't manged to watch the videos yet but will do later. Crying shame about the engine but it could lead to...

Cracking info Andrew. Remember most of it from our chat at Oulton:) Well, we already have the yellow tag around the battery earth so AY52 is nearly ready to hit the track again! I will see what dates they are running at Curborough next year and will try and enter an event.

Good request for info Nick. Mike and I were thinking about sprinting too as we imagine the costs are substantially lower than racing. Tymberland (Andrew) is another member with knowledge as he used to sprint. I know mine and Mikes car would have to be entered in quite a high class due to the...

1,4 and 6 for me due to the lighting. Love them! Makes me want to grab my camera and get out there!

Phil, Just looked at your panning shots again. Someone once told me a little tip when shooting moving objects - always give the subject room to move in the direction it's travelling. Ie position the car to one side depending if it's accelerating or decelerating. It can help convey the movement...

That Porsche is a beaut isn't it! :)

Cracking shots there Phil. What kind of shutter speeds were you using for panning? I cannot believe how hard it is to pan at lower shutter speeds and still get a sharp car. Real skill!
