Hey Tony/Jay
Have you thought about using datalogging ? I have been looking at the Race technology DL1 as a way of improving my times etc just wondered if you have considered it ?

Saturday 11th June - Workshop Duty
A short day in the workshop this time to do a few jobs. A much smaller list than usual.
The rear wheel bearings had done 13 hours of work so we decided not to push our luck and change them. The previous set gave up with similar usage and one was showing signs of the grease leaking. We also fitted a new set of studs after one snapped at Donington
All built up with a new set of wheel nuts. Each nut weighs the same as a cornflake
The next time we are on track is at the Renaultsport evening at Bedford Autodrome, for a bit of fun and to give some passenger rides. We had kept the passenger seat all built up on the subframe since last year and it should of been a 5 minute job to fit it. But since the seat was last in we had changed the battery for a bigger one. The seat wouldn't fit and the battery had to be moved over a few inches along with some of the wiring and cut-out system
A little bit of time left before we had to call it a day so made a change to the camera bracket. We won't be using the pocket camera we had been previously. Its become a little unreliable, its not keen on kerb hopping or the vibrations transmitted through the cage. For now we will have to use our low quality bullet camera
So looking forward to Bedford. The car is going well and last years passenger rides were a lot of fun

Shorter studs than last time? What length have you gone for this time, and who did you get the nuts from.

No idea, Tony knows what they are. About as weighty as dust tho

I think the difference is in the shaft thickness,less flex I would imagine,ours have been revalved and different damper settings anyway.
They are what we had to start with anyway,but not really up to racing as they were,but fine for trackdays.

^ Thats the way we roll now. We could go quicker just by testing and gaining confidance in the car. Anyway we have some stuff in the pipeline that should improve what we already have. Will be waiting till next season tho as weve just got the car working in its current spec. We just want to go out and have some fun now

Amen to that.
