Clio turbo out at bedford (inc following Mikes ITB car and a huge 100mph+ sideways)
Re: Clio turbo out at bedford (inc following Mikes ITB car and a huge 100mph+ sideway
Thats a shame, I did do quite a few sessions although most of them were quite short as this was just a shakedown to me, plus I went out a few times in our RS2 car as well.

Thought you might enjoy it Dan.
Yours should do well too, when mine was a similar spec to yours it was still properly fast

Back isnt unstable TBH mate, I just went across some damp concrete at well over 100mph and tried to turn across it, wasnt a car problem, was a me problem, lol
Besides, its a completely standard looking fully trimmed road car not a race car, I think a difuser would ruin that.
It has made me decide to sell the whiteline RARB I have got sat there trying to decide wether or not to use on it though, the speeds im doing just arent really the sort of speeds I want a playful rear end at!
Great driving, great car, scary sideway slide
I am just thinking a difusor could add some grip to the back at those high speeds to keep the back more stable?

I am not the one to judge driving skills lol,
looking forward to get to a track for the first time with my low level racing skills and stock 172ph2 (done just 3k miles), but one has to start somewhere.
Keep up the good work:race:

Cheers for the run out in it Chip, sorry I had to call it short at three laps but lack of food and the way that thing travels was making me feel ill. I have to add for anyone that says boost is pointless and its either all or nothing you need to go an have a ride in Chip's car. Even when pushin it through the corners the car wasn't lacking power and it was so smooth it felt like it was a natural engine for the car. I'd like another ride Chip when the brakes aren't cooked.

FLOL!
Must say its not really *that* interesting, but a claim to fame none the less.

No problem mate, I was keeping most of the sessions fairly short anyway, Mike's dad got the only long one really.
Thanks mate, thats EXACTLY what Ive been trying to say to people, too many people have never driven a turbo car that is mapped specifically with trackday use in mind in terms of the power delivery so they think its going to be all or nothing when it just doesnt have to be that way.
Even on a more basic ECU like the Omex 600 for example if you know what you are doing you can get it to do something kind of similar to what I have done with the Mtech V4 on this, all be it not quite as well as its only a 2d table not a 3d one.
Welcome anytime mate, I need to decide what im doing with the brakes, I think its going to have to be a case of doing llandow on the now warped ones sadly due to me only being home from work a couple of days before then, and then look towards making up some sort of 4 pot conversion after that when I have a little more time.

Chippy. I can bring the set of discs down I've just taken off the race car, take 10mins to change them, save have a wobbly wheel.

Very kind offer, thanks very much but I'd only ruin them for you mate, better for you to sell them now while they are working, lol
