Mad panic rush - just realised I’ve only got about 2 weeks to get the car ready….

I'm currently looking at coilovers, brakes & remaps for the Clubman.
In reality, i will do nothing, because i have spent all my money putting fuel in the M3 🤣

I need to fit two rear calipers, a decat, a phase 1 shifter, and two handbrake cables. Other than that the car's ready 😂

 

[DaveDreads]

I need a new engine.

 

[Bluebeard]

I now just need a quick road test, a spanner check and then the mother of all cleans and she’s good to go.

I think I’ve spent nearly £4K on it this month. f**king sickening. If it wasn’t for CSF I wouldn’t have even opened the door on it this year.

This forum has a lot to answer for.

Can you trusted with anything handbrake related???

 

[Mr Squashie]

No, nor can I be bothered after looking under the car. Which is why I've rung a garage for a quote 😂

As much as I'd love to take the 275 on track, I can't do it, it's too tidy.
Though I do not own a Civic that's the "Clio's dead, loan me your car please mate?!" alternative.
So yes, I need a new car for track.

 

[Sash]

@Nik I need to sell my PM tracktime 😢 Can you assist? X

 

[Clio_fool]

If we all fill up we can set a world record for the highest value gathering of clio's ever! I'm gonna ring Guinness next week 👍.

There will be clios there??

There's usually a couple that sneak in.

£3.50 isn't much of a record surely?

You're not accounting for the value of the petrol mate. ⛽💷💷💷💷💷

Does anyone know if Javelin allow shorts and T shorts on track??
Not done a Javelin event for years.

Shorts are usually a no go aren't they? T-shirts are fine unless stripped out or open top

Nope, have to have arms and legs covered now with 99% of track day providers. better to be safe than sorry after all.
Circuits themselves are clamping down on it too.

There's massive pressure on them to up health and safety measures after a marshal lost his life last year at Brands Hatch.

 

[Clio_fool]

f**k me I'm gonna have to buy some keks if I want to ride shotgun now. I didn't even wear them for my job interview 😂.

The reason I asked is because I’ve ‘outgrown’ all my jeans since I stared wearing shorts. 😂

Trust me, once you do that there's no coming back

I worry about your health, friends help friends.....tubby. x

Sillu question : is there a dB limit for the track ? 🙃

No static, only drive by which I can't remember the figure

I'll find out when they start pointing at me waving a giant black flag 😂

Noise Policy — Blyton Park Driving Centre

www.blytonpark.co.uk

The software on the noise monitoring computer can be set to produce and store an alarm at a pre-determined decibel level recorded by the microphone. Noise mapping studies carried out by specialists in acoustics on behalf of the Company, readings taken by the Company and the adoption of best practice incorporating experience from other similar venues in the UK have led the Company to conclude that a level of 95db recorded by the microphone is the threshold beyond which sound levels at neighbouring locations may give rise to complaint. Consequently, the software is generally set to alert and store any readings above 95db and it is these alerts which prompt action from the Company’s management.

Depending upon climatic conditions and in particular, wind strength and direction, noise from vehicles on the circuit may be audible at neighbouring properties, but not to a level which causes nuisance.

Any vehicle which causes a reading above 95db will be identified and removed from the circuit. The owners will be given the chance to further silence the vehicle but if they are unable to do so, the vehicle will not be allowed back on the circuit. All alarms are recorded by the computer and in addition a manual record is kept of the alarm, the offending vehicle and the action taken by the Company. On certain days , vehicles will be permitted on circuit which will exceed the 95db level and the restrictions imposed upon them are covered at 4.1.3 below.

95db drive by at Blyton, they're very strict on it and will pull cars off track.

 

[Racky]

Thanks all. I will install an db app on the phone, do a few drive by, and see if its under 95.

 

[Krarl]

Just been looking through old threads and people say a ktec stealth 1 box exhaust with a decat is less than 95dB so I might be alright 😂

It's f**king loud but should be alright. My mates old supercharged Fiesta blew the baffles out of his exhaust so it was essentially straight piped and that was f**king deafening, especially when it banged on gearshifts and woke the dead

 

[Brigsy]

My old asbo spec single silencer system on my old kangoo which was 102db on static never got pulled at Blyton so wouldnt worry too much unless its really loud, unsilenced or whatever.

 

[Krarl]

Aye last time I was at Blyton it had a 172 manifold and a cat so was pretty tame

Now it's got a 182 mani and a decat for all the wasp noises

 

[andybond]

My C63 with secondary cat delete was also never pulled at Blyton.

 

[Bluebeard]

My van had a decat, one silencer from a 2.2 accord diesel and the rest was straight piped. Was stupid loud tbf but I only had one warning for noise all day. You’ll be fine.

I was about to say, didn't you get black flagged for noise..

This is what they say on their site about noise levels now so gives anyone with a loud exhaust chance to quieten it down just incase.
