ive just got the back box - 102db (almost 6000rpm)

Bedford was 98.8dB, but they only make you go to 5000rpm as they know its the driveby that matters more

I did get to Snet very early, so the exhaust got a bit cold for the sound test. Did you do yours as soon as you arrived?

So I should be ok for bedford? I want to book other trackdays, but scared of getting turned away.

From experience of others with SS full system the only one they have been chucked off is Bedford. One guy did 6 days there and chucked off on two of them.

I think youll find youll pass static ok at Bedford but always a chance of failing driveby. I did Bedford one Monday and was nervous of the noise but managed to stay on all day no probs.

Probabaly works on low pressure overcast days whereas Monday was clear and bright

Mine was 99db @6000rpm but still quite hot from the drive over. SS silenced centre section and SS race lightweight rear box, std cats.

Good man!

The Focused events days are a bit busy didnt you think?

[shimmy]

The Focused events days are a bit busy didnt you think?

no busier than most others as they nearly all stick to the same track limits numbers BUT there were some awfully slow cars there :banghead:

i tend to stick to low laps in the morning and have some fun these days and keep the faster ones when it clears up in the afternoon so no worries - cant do 100-150 laps a day like i used to!

Snetterton Video

I managed finally to get the time to wrap this stuff up.

Below is my data comparison between this years best lap of 1m 19.5s and my previous best in very similar conditions of 1m 21.7s.

You can see the improvements AND the areas where i have not done as well possibly meaning there should be some more to gain pretty quickly. Mike's tuition was getting me to brake earlier before the corners than i am used to to give me the stability and confidence to push through the corners much earlier and therefore get a faster speed in the corner and on the following straight. At the end of the day i was then tasked with trying to get the braking point back towards where i previously had it without compromising the speed in the corner. didnt quite get to that point (see orange circles) as you can see but still very pleased with the days work.



The below i have a clip of my 3 lap last session of the day, by far the clearest on track and Mike had shot off so i had time to try to string together the laps using my new found 'skidding'

I managed 3 fastest laps in a row, all below my previous best times - possibly as i was being chased by johnny finfast in his GTR for the last 2 laps (check out the rear view mirror - only) and photographed by angus in his pink shirt jus before the bridge.

Then the last clip at the end of the vid is Mike Wilds early in the day taking my car for a workout:hand

Looked like a great day Shim, some interesting data recorded. May have to invest in one of these thingies. Why's the RPM not working?

The VBox Lite with 2 cameras is a downgraded version of the VBox for a fraction of the cost. It has the capacity to run one CAN line as it stands but does need the CAN cable attached to the ECU for this.

At Snett the CAN cable hadn't been installed but last Saturday Nathan at RaceDataSystems.co.uk arranged for this to be done at their workshop in 2 hours. Tested and software scenes updated so now I can run one CAN channel of my choice like wheel speeds, throttle positions, rpms, brake trigger etc. If I want more channels you have to buy a small upgrade od the firmware to run 4 channels.

I'll do a trial next week and post up the results.

[_Nathan_]

With the 4 CAN channel upgrade (just a firmware update so can be emailed to you Shim) you'd get steering angle, throttle position RPM and one other channel from those available, would make for very detailed driving analysis and some excellent videos

Karbon - PM me for discounts

You're getting proper fast now Shim, miles quicker than me, get yer license and come testing in my motor so I can see the difference in the logs :thumbs:
