Mallory park trackday pics

[dhdev (Oli)]

It was my first day out with the DSLR that I bought yesterday, so any criticism on the pics is welcome. I also have loads more if people want them of specific cars.

This was my transport for the day, fully equipped with cooker for bacon and sausage sarnies, and hot chocolate! http://www.vauxhall-sport-forum.com/phpBB2/images/smiles/007.gif Big thanks to my mate Colin for the van and cooking http://www.vauxhall-sport-forum.com/phpBB2/images/smiles/023.gif

[Cle]

Everthing with Woolworths writin on it is getting distroyed. lol

Great photo's :thumb:

[Paul]

**** me just a few crashes then yeh?

PS nice pics, was wondering when these were going to get posted. I have no idea about photography whatsoever by the way, so cant comment if they good/bad etc but look good to me!

[Count Vaux Alot]

Nice pics Oli was it a good day? poor poor tigra RIP!

[John]

top pics oli!
(noo, the tigra is dead!)
Looks like the rear drive nova spent most of its time going the wrong way!

[fearless]

Some good photo's there for your first time - well done

Looks like Chip had his hands full - spent more time sideways than in a straight line


Dave

[dhdev (Oli)]

Chip was chavving around most of the day, showing off. I missed the Tigra's crash, but the occupants were Ok, think Gav was driving don't know who was passenger.
Cheers for the comments!
It was a great day, but not many noisy N/A's :( The loudest and best sounding was the silver Evo with big E-tech type wing, revved hard and went like stink!

[Count Vaux Alot]

Did you take yours Oli? I guess not by your last comment?

[dhdev (Oli)]

No not to this one, it's over 100miles away from me tucked up in a garage!

[Count Vaux Alot]

Ah stayed up north for chrimbo then, be good to see it on track again soon...

[Matt Pickering]

Cracking pics oli, red a4 looks a bit of a beast!!


Matt..

[a1bob]

It was a great day, but not many noisy N/A's :(

[Benn]

Great dude, continus shooting is great for spins!

[Welsh Dan]

Managed to find your way around the camera then? :p.


Just kidding, great pics :thumb:.

[Plug]

loving the ecos

yea chip looked like he was having fun ha

[dhdev (Oli)]

Great dude, continus shooting is great for spins!

Damn right it is!

TBH I don't have a clue what I'm doing with the camera yet, left it on the settings Welsh Dan suggested until it got cloudy at the end of the day and the pics started getting blurry, so I upped the ISO to force the shutter to work faster :confused:

[BIGS]

some good pics, looks like chip was having more then enough fun. shame about the tigra :( but good everyone was ok

[Asa-James]

i've found if you start at the top of the page and hit the pgdn button quick, you can almost watch the nova in its spin!

great pics by the way, hope to get a decent camera soon and start my own little collection

[Benn]

Damn right it is!

Cool, its prefect for track days. And to high iso and they pics get gainy as... a gain farmers socks..

[nova ian]

[Dar]

Let me guess another big block on turned down flanges…

Thats a really bad modification!

OR

Hes gone for uber adjustability and thats how much camber he is able to get now:D

[Benn]

Let me guess another big block on turned down flanges…

Great report :)

How would you/have you done it?

[Dar]

They just snap because the neck becomes too thin. I snapped mine within 100 miles.

[Benn]

Is that aimed to me Dar?

[Dar]

Yup, well if you were asking why the turned down hubs break. If not ignore me :D

[Benn]

Oh i know why they can, Mine have done about 3k 1 full track day and 2 open days so far..

I was wondering what Sis done on his.

What do you run?

[trackdaynova]

stay small shafts to stay safe :) i have some for sale with new CVs lol

[Benn]

And i have some in the garage.. Here me bosting?








Well bar there :p^

[dhdev (Oli)]

Let me guess another big block on turned down flanges…

Great report :)

Or he just forgot to fit the wheel bolts :thumb:

[BRoadGhost]

Get the steering knuckles machined to accept the larger vw bearing

[Ernie]

im running Dars old shafts which still use the smaller standard nova hubs.
If he couldnt break them i wont as nowere near the power he is running.

[BRoadGhost]

Power doesn't break them.

[Count Vaux Alot]

Get the steering knuckles machined to accept the larger vw bearing

Interesting mod...i take it that bearing would accept the big block hub straight from a cav etc? Or am i wrong? :confused:

[Dar]

Interesting mod...i take it that bearing would accept the big block hub straight from a cav etc? Or am i wrong? :confused:
Yup, but the hub does need a bit of machining as well, well mine did. But only so that you can press the hub all the way in to the bearing without catching on the bearing carrier.

[twistysnovagte]

Cheers dude! It didn't run, was just sat in the car park looking sexy!

[spanishfly]

I haven't had no fault with machined hubs, however I pressed mine in slowly and didn't hit them in with a hammer etc etc.

[BRoadGhost]

Idd some of the length needs taking off the drive flange also.

[Benn]

Same way i did mine, its all really bout how the maching is done.
