:D Did the sideways moment knock her confidence or was she fine? Better to walk away in those situations, and beer drinking always gets my vote! Lol

Ah ok! Don't remember coming past you on track tbh. If you need to know anything about the roof vent, just let me know.

To fit the 197 head onto a 1*2 block you need to drill and tap the cylinder head to accept an idler pulley like the 1*2 has. The 197 has the water pump driven by the cambelt so it's not there. If you fit the 197 head onto a 1*2 block you'll end up with lower compression so you'd need the 197...

Me neither. Everyone has a different driving style and the only time I've killed brakes was on a 170mph mk3 Astra.

Here's my footage from late in the afternoon. Notable noises are a fucked n/s/r wheel bearing (kerb hopping possibly?!) and a slight deviation on the exit of old hall! Lol! http://youtu.be/UZ_BixnYxvU

I'll do the same if that's ok mate!

^^^love it!! Some really good pictures in there! Cracking one of mine from a distance with the lake in the foreground! :clap: Paul.M

Yeah same here. Used the YouTube video editor as well which was easy to use too.

Yeah you appear in mine twice. I'll post the link soon.

^^^^^^^This! If the vehicle has been modified for track use it's almost like writing out your own mot cert! To qualify it must have a rollcage though apparently.

What tyres you running now? It's gonna be dunlops for me next I think.

The blue one was on slicks as well but only up front. I gave it my all just before dinner and managed to keep with it! He'd got the legs out the bends but I put that down to the diff he would have. Other than that we were pretty even.

Get an rs2 mate if that's what hp you need. Combined with cams and your laughing.

There were 2 properly sorted R26 R's out on track that were very fast! A black one and a white one. There was also a blue R26 that was fair pacey!

No afraid not. :(

I only saw you once! And that was when I was filling up for fuel. Lol!

Re: Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc Engine? Yes.

Currently uploading to YouTube. I'll put it in here when it's done. :)

Yes mate that was me. Yeah saw you out on track. New you were boosted so gave chase! Lol! I think you may be on my gopro footage.

But no cigar! Lol!

Re: Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc Oh you! :o

The only experience I have of wilwoods is on my old car mate. They were alright tbh but trying to get them to stop a car from 170mph was definitely not on their list of 'things I like to do'. Lol!

Re: Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc I don't have one! :rasp:

Yeah I think your right mate. :)

WDG at the end of your reg?

Tbf mate, your new 2500's didn't have any therapy with a grinder. Mine have a good 1-1.5mm of movement in the pad carrier. This would've been helping to heat yours up potentially. As they get hot the backing plate of the pad gets hot and expands and they stick in the carrier. Pad touching disc +...

So it's your own fault then? :o

Lol! No mate. I'd not put my name down for that either. I was there purely for the track time. Did you?

I remember the car! Mark Fish rollcage?

Agree with that. I don't do 'last of the late brakers' either. I also don't have any brake cooling either. I do the cool down laps though after every stint.
