182cup & 172 racecar
LOL!
Top of the chicane? What happened? Glad it was all ok though, noticed you not coming round but then saw you driving off at the end of the session
lol indeed, ARB full stiff and a spinner in front of me = OFF
^^^^ at Duffus, came over the brow of the hill to a pirouetting golf in the road.
Broken, quick blast to Cowdenbeath with a horrendous wheel imbalance and back in time for the next session haha.
Morgan, get the video up.
Away to start uploading them, some need trimmed first though.
You do indeed, Knockhills 'grass' was up past my ankles when I got out.
Oops, could have been a lot worst!
Yeah I don't think my Clio would of stood up well against a German tank.
So had another track day at Knockhill yesterday. The weather was shocking again in the morning with fog/mist and track dying late afternoon. It was good day except the avoidance spin I had into KH's water feature. I was over driving a fair bit but needs must with only springs fitted.
Tyre pressures were hard to keep on top of with continual drying during the day. RS-R's were really sensitive to pressure, I thought I had a flat at one point but after stopping it was up at 36 hot. I was never out with a steady pressure to get a good feeling for them which was a shame. I kept getting understeer through Scotsman corner, little but too fast in but the turn in could have been better. Overall i'm impressed with the all round capability of them though.
Most sessions were cut short or waved yellows due to offs so not much track time was had. Sorry about the video quality, I uploaded them in poor quality as they take days otherwise.
Video of spin, some choice words spoken.

Mud>golf.
Did chuckle that you took the keys, can never be too safe

It was to stop the stereo and camera chargers draining the battery......plus I was in the Kingdom of Fife
To keep this up to date, the car got a new thermostat and full coolant flush (again) Saturday night after it failing just before It was required on Sunday (typical) and a new filter and oil tonight. The RS2 will be going on tomorrow if I can get a hold of a mapper and a date to get it booked in.
I also stainless lock wired the pads for piece of mind.

Have you painted your axle stands? Such a tart
Meant to say the car looked to be going well again on Sunday

hahaha no not me but the lad I share a unit with has, he buys new things and paints them, has storage boxes with printed labels on, has an FRP, you would think he had a fud if you didn't know him lol.
Yeah went 'okay'.......brake fluid was boiling over for some strange reason, I think the DS2500's were creating too much heat and I had far too much understeer, a combination of high pressures and spanking tyres I think.
Did you have your camera out?

Good idea for the pads mate, yea Harrys lap timer is a good little aid, I did notice that the speed can be a bit off, think its due to the GPS delay.
Its a bit of a worry after last time so thought it best to be safe.
Yeah the speed is a little delayed although pretty accurate if you compare it to the cars speedo.
I had a mate who also had a pad slip out of the calliper at Brands, unfortunately he ended up in the barrier (Druids), car (Clio) was a write off.
Only thing I dont like about Harrys on the iphone is the lack of an iris in the iphone, it tends to black out when facing direct sunlight. Snetterton seems to be a nightmare for it due to it mainly being flat and open.

I've never had any bother with rear pads, don't know what people do with them to get them to fall out.
Never good, I'm just lucky it wasn't at the hairpin and it was only one pad, I must have pumped it 3 times and yanked the handbrake so I did get some retardation.
Me neither, do you fit the anti rattle springs? TBF it was the on the side where the wheel came off ao might have knocked something. I bought a full new caliper fixing kit just to be safe. Ian speedy had a set come out a high speed too.
So got the car up on stands and got all the dubs out from underneath, gave the wheels and outside a wash too.
Obligatory snow foam shot.
The line has appeared.
Someone's been pulling wheel spin's tut tut.
Fitted window deflectors again after the clips finally arrived, and the door Cup badges.
Started fitting the RS2 tonight, its made what isn't a great car to work on worse. I'm ooked in for a few hours road mapping on Friday and possibly a trip on the RR on Saturday.

I didn't have the springs as there were none when I got it so maybe that didnt help.
Might be able to keep up now
Looks great mate!
Looks great mate!
Looks good! in the last pic of the car the exhaust looks like it sticks out miles ha
Cheers, yeah it does (trip hazard) as its meant to be fitted with the Oreca decat which is shorter than the original cat that is on, I refuse to cut anything as its only on this thing untill my racecar is ready.
Not that I've noticed?
