mallory is ace..
gerards is the tricky bit, its a bend that lasts forever, loads of people carry too much speed into it & then when they suddenly find out it tightens up on the exit, they are already on the way to the scene of the accident...
i used to cycle there for race meetings when i was a kid... i love the place.
I'll keep you posted, it's a full day and open pit and only £129.Quote:

Nice saves! :)
Well no real updates since Rockingham, but I'm booked on at Blyton Park again on the 22nd so figured I'd better do some work on it.
Replaced a wheelbearing with play, and no matter what I do the new bearings still have play, so screw it it can stay with play in! Pic of empty machined Nova knuckle/Cav hub, just cos lol

Also when there noticed my brake pads are woefully destroyed, so ordered a set of Carbone Lorraine CL5+s which I'm waiting to turn up:

Due to the position of my seats the old door handles would crack my elbow regularly, so ordered some straps:

Bolted to the door behind the doorcard and modified the handle surround slightly so they can poke out. Still regret not ordering black ones but oh well.

My PZRacing shift light wasn't working off the revcounter feed, assume because it doesn't come from the ECU, so ordered a little control unit that has a wire sensing off a HT lead.

Shift lights positioned on the dashboard:

Still to prove that they work properly, so there's still time for them to be a failure.
Also fixed my in-car camera footage for trackdays with a GoPro Hero2, much better image quality and no vibrations:
