And you @GrahamS, anytime. As said before, I'm happy for anyone to jump in on track, so if anyone ever sees me with an empty passenger seat, please feel free to tap on the window.
Handed the keys over to a copper friend of mine this morning and he took us for a spin around Bedfordshire B...
@Dr Jekyll I bought the Loctite 271 as shown in the PMS photo
They aren't listing any for the Clio at the moment, but the BMW stuff is the same tensile as the PMS stuff
@Davyy it's me hitting the brakes too late and carrying too much speed, the yellow cone is when the speed should be shaved off car in the right gear and turning in.
As you look at the video, I've kept the power on and tried to brake hard for the corner, as I pass the yellow cone it was already...
@JohnnyE No mate, just the driver being too confident and then panicing as it locked, happened too quickly for me to think to lift off.
I've had a few lock ups on track, so my next job is to send the calipers off for refurb as I'm not 100% sure it is 100% me.
Ended the day with some carefree laps with no concentration on the noise as I was going home anyway.
A great day as always at this track day, and good to meet @Sir_Dave and @Mash. and to see the the others from here & the Facebook group again.
Back at Bedford today, 2 years on from our first time out with the horrendous handling car I bought back then. Spent the day avoiding the noise monitors and changing up before them to avoid the noise board after being told after passing the static test that the Marshall would "get me later"...
Mine was off the road for two months, November to Jan, I did:
Bodies,
Quaife & rebuilt box,
Whiteline,
Bilsteins.
It's a cracker now and done for hopefully 12 months, it had a full bush refresh last year.
Is that the price today after the £ collapsed?
Still not feeling the love for the B14s, will try them at Bedford on Saturday and they may be coming off.
