[Trackday_Prep] My Track Toy

[alexcrosse 124]

Tis short, makes sense when its just right.

 

How was everything else? Diff good?

 

Probably struggled to get temp into those rear tyres compared to the front, wouldnt have helped bias.

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

Minor fuel leak in return line just replaced with new from merlin as just there.

 

By the time I got it back to clutch cable needs adjusting and exhaust to manifold blowing but nothing a couple of hours wont sort.

 

Yes rear tyres were cold. Tried lower pressures but no luck. Might add a bias valve, hadnt considered tyre temp on the braking issue, good call.

 

Will sort gearing when I get chance

Diff was v good. Although a drying track was interesting wheel spin car went one way in wet and opposite in dry

[alexcrosse 124]

Those 048s are pretty good in the wet if you get some temp in, progressive.

 

Sounds like you had fun!

Simon what size tyres are on the car? (looks wider than 195)

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

Only 195 with 309 wishbones.

[Roon 29 1 Cars]

Good build fella

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

Thanks.

 

Spent the day spanking it around abingdon, did 60litres of fuel and the new front tyres no need replacing oops. Excellent fun though.

You need more camber

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

Agree it would help at abingdon but it has a lot of fast left handers where the front washes out. I doubt it would be as bad at another circuit. I do really like abingdon though.

 

Was faster than most on the bends, keeping laptime wise with a mates supercharged elise that 220hp, he was quicker on straights and slower on bends. Managed to embaress a lot of faster machinery.

Looks good fun buddy.

Got adjustable top mounts on it?

no.. might look into sorting.. the current alignment was only done with string in a rush so will look at it again when I get time.

 

Couple more laps

Looking good mate. Nice tight line on that tricky left hander with the surface change mid way through. I always over cook it and turn in too soon and run wide. The tuition I had there was really useful.

 

Just fitted my LSD today, so hopefully that will tighten my lines up on a few corners.

 

Hopefully see you at Abingdon again soon

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

Thanks, I think I was stsrting to go too deep into a couple of bends and would have been slightly quicker turning in sooner but def feel the turn in cones are too early for a little 205.

 

Really enjoy Abingdon, a mates suggesting we do Woodbridge in may.

[alexcrosse 124]

Yeah you really need top mounts to pull the tops in then. I ran -2.5 or something. *runs away as a camber debate starts*.

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

Picking up castorkids gaz shocks friday. My cheap fun trackday toy is getting expensive. But still shadows the amount I have plumbed into the racecar so no bother lol

[blandy 29]

How did you find abingdon only trackday I've ever done

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

How did you find abingdon only trackday I've ever done

Very good. Lot of left handers to eats drivers front tyre but very open and lots of overtaking and the format is ideal for someone wanting to get into trackdays or test a car out.

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

Front Gaz coilovers fitted this morning, so easy to work on these cars.

 

Rear to do next, hope that plays ball lol

[rallyeash 155]

They are pretty mechanically simple which is great :-)

 

Coming on quickly, more power next?!

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

I do have a syvecs s6gp to go on it, just need to find the time to make the loom
