(Part 2 of) Its offical...I have too much time on my hands



  TrackCar & F30 330d
Well following on from my last thread when i painted the Toyo R888 on my track tyres.
I went to Bedford Autodrome yesterday to do the GT Circuit.
First thing, i was fully amazed with the amount of grip the R888's give was keeping up with a 911 Turbo round the corners. A Youtube Vid with proof will follow in the next few days :)
Second thing, the Carbone Lorraine pads were fantastic, was a bit wierd at first as the peddel seemed quite soft but the last 2/3 of the peddle gave great feedback and was outbreaking lots of other cars.
Really recomend the tyres and pads :)

So here are a few pics from today. Nothing professional just my old man with his SLR.

This is the reason i had to take my seats out, lots of stuff in the back :) Made is difficult to get off the drive :S scrapy scrapy

But that wasnt too bad, Some more bad stuff had to happen.
After i had put my track wheels on my 182 wheels were stacked up i went off for the breifing and my old man put the wheels in the boot ready to drive over to the pit garages. He picked one up and it slipped out of his hands and it landed face down on the concreat. They had been re-furbished and WERE mint now it has 30 stone chips :(

Videos to come in the next few days :)

You don't have to lug all that weight around on the track with you do you?

No mate you dont have to drive with all the stuff in the back lol. I took it all out and left it in the pits. Ended up feeding the car fuel every time i came back into the pics. No point driving round with a full tank :)

It might be on one of the videos that will be on youtube soon. But it came flying upbehind the willy then it was me and then an exige. It was soooo fast. tryed keeping up but had no chance.
Was pretty impressed :)

What are the H&R's like on both track and road?

Car looks cracking to.

The H&R's are more suited to the road to be honest.
I had Apex springs before and i did a trackday at Abingdon Airfield. They bounced and jefcked all over the place. The H&R's are much smother, get much better traction, a lot easier to drive quicker.
They are great on track but not the best. AST's would have been perfect. When i get bored of the 182 then i'l turn it into a proper track S*** and get AST's or something :)
