My shakedown for the track car (Vid)

[iguana]

Was a good test day, know what areas need to be sorted now, great potential tho, as the vid shows, not quite got the legs over a properly prepped 200bhp Mk2 track Golfy yet, but slowly she will develop as time & dosh allows.

Looks good, you'll most likely find you've never enough time or dosh though!!

Its been almost a year since my last track outing.

[iguana]

A year!!

Nah I track quite a bit, think that one was my 5th this yr, its the sorting the car time & the dosh im always short on

[Simon325i]

Lucky bleeder!

Hoping I'll fit a few more in this year, couple of airfileds first and then want to do Croft as its not too far from me.

[iguana]

Croft one of the few Ive never been to along with Knockhill, long way for us Southern monkeys, I mean its scary, theres Polar bears & Eskimos & stuff that far North

That must be a motorsport events day? I have yet to try abingdon, I am sometimes at Keevil and Hullavington in a blue s13 200sx. They are good value for money in my opinion

[northloop]

Is it going to be making a pilgrimage this year Alex?

[chrisr29]

What suspension setup are you using mate? Looks pretty composed through the bends.

[DJ-325I]

im very intrested in doing track days at abingdon as its on my doorstep, whats the layout like, as i havn't been able to get down for a look as im at college on fridays.

[iguana]

Northyloop- hmmm dunno, im doing few more euro tracks this yr so not sure how the 'ring budget stands or indeed my time off which is v limited, hopefully will do some 'ringing in with work a few more midweek eves like did last yr, Bimmer or Golfy as normal tho- that is the question....
Perfect scenario is im out there enough for work Golfy lives there & bimmer lives here, but we shall see.


Chrisr29- Stripped & caged, Koni adj's & Eibach springys, bit soft really for 100% track work, pondering going same rates as some seloc racers, which is a lot harder, but dont want to make it so hard as to be undrivable on 'ring, but want it harder for UK tracks, so after that elusive compramise.....

DJ- yeh layout is fine, quite hard on brakes tho, fun to play & MSE have v fair spins policy, im not really an airfield type tracker prefer proper tracks but for playing silly buggers on old hard road tyres, well it gets a double thumbs up, not hard on tyres either as airfields can often be, will prob try some other MSE airfields in bimmer too as I play with set up.

I havent seen my suspension fitted yet but apparently its very hard at the front and quite soft at the rear. It's a specific set up for the ring.
