So the great English weather put a dampner to testing the front splitter (although understeer was deffo not a problem!).
However it was a good shakedown for the car. The brakes finally started working properly and the repaired caliper stayed repaired.
The front splitter needs a small modification where the exhaust does actually touch it and because of the front splitter my trailer needs modifying. It's a struggle to get it on and off.
But i'm happy with the car pending anything nasty I find when it gets its post run inspection.
10:45am @ Castle Combe
Absolutely awesome video Dar :thumb: very smoooooth driving, experience of the track shines through alot!
Loved seeing my own car in the video, first time I've ever seen external footage.
Top bombing dude!
Thanks Olly, it's always great to see your car from the point of view of another:thumb:
It's even better in the dry, we will get some great footage throughout this year.
EDIT: In the process of rendering the muppet laps, will show you that when its done :thumb:
OK chap - still a bit annoyed for taking off - but hey - with every session being cut short (read: under 10 mins) I wanted to make the most of it, as its not exactly local to me lol
woot at muppet laps. Im totally gutted mine didnt work on that session :(
Great vid from session 1 :)
Broke the damn thing again :( This time the clutch has gone bye bye. It was smelling a bit funning on the first session, but we thought it was the brakes. Ho hum. I will post up the footage of the first run when I have it hosted.
I have decided that my car is trying to tell me to spend some money on it 'again!' but it is a lady and therefore will keep braking until I do. So watch this space ;)
I only had one session but the front splitter did make the car feel better. It's very hard to 'really' tell but it was very grippy after only one lap and just felt much pointier. I also found that the car was (when cornering on certain corners) bouncing the inner wheels enough off of the deck to make the engine pick up slightly (You will hear it in the vid). I have had it before but not as ponounced as this. Anyhoo the front splitter is staying for now so that I can test it further.
I also bought some new front springs but didn't get chance to fit them.
It was a great day at Combe though. Nice and sunny :cool:
Standard clutch?
Time for a paddle? :cool:
I bet Pod last week didn't do the clutch much good lol
Oh yes:thumb: One of those little ones if I can. Might as well get a new flywheel for it as well :DQuote:

Nice.
Lucky you spotted the loose bolt,Lol.
Were all the Understeer crew at Combe today? good day?
