A good day with Northern Jim, a few of the lads from the RS forum (I think) and a few old faces from the ring :supz:

a few offs from others made a quiet track day even quieter :whistle:

I thought my day was going to be short after three outings my front cups were showing a bit of thread on the outside :banghead:
Ive never changed the camber on them, always set at -1.5, I had to give it a try, well Jim did and after a lot of fiddling knocked it out to the -3 setting :thumbs:
after changing the setting the car was not handling well at all :bigcry:
I spoke to some guys who were in track cars and they suggested a new setting for the suspension, I was running hard at the front and a bit softer at the back, we changed it to a couple softer at the front and harder at the back. I could not believe the difference it made :supz: although my cups are now slicks the outside edge was saved and minimal thread showing :whistle: my rears have still got another track day in them ?? I thought rears went 1st ??

anyway some pics

I forgot to mention, there was a local there who said there had been a one armed demon there a bit back who had an off, he said he had to step in when the guy came off and another guy was going mental with this one armed guy :whistle:
Lawsy :whistle: :thumbs:

Glad you boys had a good day! Loving your sunstrip mate, where did you get it from? :smokin:

What suspension you running btw?

[s.mac]

Good pics Steve,looks like you had a good day.:thumbs::thumbs:

yes it was mate, a bit worried when the canvas was showing at 10.30 :whistle:

I'm sure Jim will be along soon although the M62 near his end was grid locked due to accidents ....

Glad you boys had a good day! Loving your sunstrip mate, where did you get it from? :smokin:

local guy did the sun strip, Phatm3 (Steve) sorted out the art work :thumbs: it was less than £30 fitted

running AST, really happy with it although I have struggled to get my set up right, but when you get to track there is always someone who can advise, I just need to drop the front end a bit more

[northernjim]

had to go offpiste to get home, to avoid the closed M62:banghead:

but:beer: As Steve says I am now a fully qualified csl mechanic:clown::hahaha:

He looked gutted at 10am looking at the canvas in his tyre, glad to help mate but please stop soaking your tyres in marmalade, they might last a bit longer:hahaha::hahaha:


Fantastic day, fantastic track, tight twisty and really ball-wrenchingly fast too, good curry for lunch too:smokin:

Sunstrip looks great, not quite as in your face as Rob and Daz's! lol I like slightly more understated!

Me too, can you get another one run off at all mate?

[northernjim]

yep he's a stockport lad so by coming with us, instead of going cross country like he did on the way there, he was totally fecked:clown::bigcry:

so are you going to try and really get them bald at silverstone?:smokin: or get some new cups:gayfight: especially for it?

[s.mac]

I'm sure I could get stickers and back strip
It a plain silk Black boarder with transfers on top
he can do a print vinyl but didn't recommend it, although that's what Rob and Daz had.
you would need to fit it, not easy ....
pm me if you want me to ask if he can post
