No problem...should be there this year.
This time out I had Dunlop D01Js on the front, and Yoko A048s on the back. Only got experience of them and Yoko A032s as well. My favourites are the A32s, but only because I got them as 205s not 195s.
It barely moved, no idea what the driver was doing...didn't even go down the straights.
Finally up...

That's how it works on trackdays.
Over the course of a lap I closed up 2 seconds on him despite easing off in several places.
That's why he let me pass.

Hello Mark, im going with track masters ,theres still space, i can get you details if you want to attend.
Yeah i outed my KV6 engine and Reyland motorsport dropped me in an audi tt 1.8t 225 turbo lump, with a purpose made adaptor plate it mounts straight to my uprated o.e PG1 gearbox with quaife lsd.
I had full 3 inch turbo back exhaust, fmic, standalone ecu and hybrid k04 turbo and it made them figures. Its rather lively, infact midrange its 130 bhp up on my KV6!!!
I was worried it could compromise track manners but as of yet it looks very promising.
Little video i did, 30-90 3rd gear pull, takes 6.3 seconds but that includes a change to 4th that i need not have done as it pulls over 90 in 3rd, so high 5's would be about right, vid looks very relaxed but its fighting for traction from 40 to 50 mph.

That sounds extreme - especially with all that turbo torque! Must be quite a different beast to drive?
3rd of April's out for me...take my daughter swimming every friday afternoon
Any other days planned so far for this year? My trackday diary's clear at the moment...I just have to take whatever I can find at short notice when I know I can get away.
sorry track expert
^^^^lmao^^^
Thats what happens on track , you arent allowed to race so when a faster car comes up behind a slower one the rules say they have to slow down and let you past.
If the skyline was quicker mark wouldnt have caught it up in the first place would he !.
aaah i know who you mean, was it a blue saloon , stripped out running on 888's?
Its a quick car ill bet he was going well wasnt he !

little vid of my day at combe , watch on HQ, enlarge the screen and turn up the sound.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i-bCuNCAJ0
the last lap on this video was my quickest of the day at 1.18.8 but it contains a monumental error at the 1st chicane, i braked too late and understeered in badly still on the brakes and had to cut the corner very tight just to make it through you can hear stones being flicked up and watch how much my mate closed back up on me....same guy we mentioned in previous posts.
I was hoping to go quicker as i pulled 1.19.6 with my kv6 engine and now i have 50% more power with my turbo motor but i have to admit i soon found myself a little out of my depth.....301 bhp in a front drive car weighing under a ton is seriously rapid and it was intimidating, the speeds i was arriving at corners were much higher than they used to be so all my braking points changed, throttle control exiting corners was another massive challenge, slightly too much throttle exiting and even with the quaife the car just went straight on, tbh it was like driving a new car on a new track and i dont mind admitting i struggled to get to grips with it.
The morning was a massive learning curve but by mid afto i was starting to find some confidence and some performance, i started to get some lines and rythmn going but never really found the groove if you know what i mean.
I was braking way too early all day, at the time i didnt think i was but watching my vids from last year i can see a real difference, i think it was just the speeds the car was pulling that were making me a bit nervous.
My kv6 used to pull 118-119 at combe up towards avon rise, now it was pulling 131-132 which considering how long 5th gear takes to accelerate at them kind of speeds is a a massive gain, it outdragged everything i came across in a straight line all day, pulled past m3 csl's pretty easily tbh and despite me wanting more lap time from it, it was still the quickest car round a lap all day afaik.
I have some ideas to improve but tbh really i just need some hours in the seat i think, all in all i have to be happy, brand new conversion only one in the world on its very first track day and it did 400 miles faultlessly with 100 of them being at high revs on the track.
vid from very first session of the day using playing with an evo 9 lol.
