I watched my video back last night...on my third run I actually went through that "gate" sideways :eek:
Was great fun swapping 1/100ths back and forth Paul.
These two stand out for me, PaulJ with a whiff of opposite lock, and Saner with the freedom of the best part of 1km of runway to himself to play on.
There was a "Safety" camera/CCTV police van parked obviously almost right opposite the entrance for an hour or so, then it snuck off, and hid at...
I try to squeeze in 10 or so per year...going to struggle this year I think though.
Goodwood's fine...just very fast with not too much run-off. They resurfaced the entire loop 18 months ago and in dry warm weather on track rubber the grip is immense. That's the only time when I've found...
Yeah, I was clenched up all the way through that :eek: - but that's what happens when I chase after people like you in Caterhams. I learnt from it though so it was a worthwhile experience LOL
Standard springs, standard dampers from new; I'm on my second set now.
Do you track the R300?
Relentlessly from new... clicky :D
Never going to sell it, and it will remain with me until it meets that great Armco barrier/gravel trap in the sky LOL
29k? Lightweight ;)
Got mine December 2003, just approaching 80k miles now, it'll get retired from its daily commute by the end of this year, and turned into a proper track weapon.
I get withdrawal symptoms if I can't drive it regularly enough. Take today; my wife had to work, but didn't...
Not true, Michelin Pilot Exaltos are not directional and they're not cheap.
Tyres are either asymetric (sp?) or directional.
Directional have to rotate in a particular direction (arrow indicates direction)
Asymetric have to have one side of the tyre on the outside of the car (one side of...
On my Cup it was the last mod I did after foam panel filter, new ECU, K-tec catback exhaust.
If I started from scratch again, the decat would be the first mod without question.
Nice :approve:
I had a 1.9TD 306 GLX, "played" with by Van Aaken.
Standard suspension so a squidgy soft setup, but it handled superbly and gripped like it had no right to. Huge fun around wet roundabouts.
The GTI-6 must be fantastic...I'd love to take one on track.
I had to run that setup around Bedford to get it to fade...before that I couldn't fault them.
You've got a problem elsewhere.
I've no idea where though.
I regularly drop from 3rd to 2nd at about 55mph or so, maybe even a little higher at times
Double de-clutching makes it easier to get it into the lower gear, and a heel/toe blip smooths things out when you bring the clutch back up.
So long as you are sympathetic to the needs and limitations...
I think it's oil temperature related.
The temp guage on your dash is for the water temperature - the water/coolant heats up quicker than the oil as far as I'm aware.
The grinding I hear every morning/night, is the rust being cleared from the discs. A few solid decent length braking attempts is usually enought to clear mine.
Check your discs before you drive next time...see if they're rusty.
I don't think the issue of it being tracked is relevant.
Mine has had a very hard life both on and off track, yet I've religously maintained it, and it's been nothing but A1 from new and for almost all of its 78,000 miles.
Your gut feeling on the buyer and the car's past is what you need to...
