Maj, thanks for that I know that the track is pretty safe. I'm not stupid either so there is very minimal chance of anything happening. As far as cornering lines and so on go I would take to a track day like a duck to water, the issue is the car :D

Anyway, I may come to spectate or hop in as a passenger. I'll decide closer to the time.

Hi Kinks,

Bring the pulsar along, I'd be happy to show you how to peddle a fwd round the track :)

I wouldn't worry about damaging the car, I've bever seen a car damaged at one of these days, even with some of the dcikheads you see sometimes. Stay away from the idiots, drive sensibly and work your way up to speed and you'll have a safe and top fun day.

It is a good idea to spectate & passenger for your first track day, it should set your mind at rest. (unless you get in the car with fatz, of course, that'll scare you out of your wits)

Kinks... Definitely bring your car...

Group C are a bunch of slow-asses, so you'll be fine :P

Trust me...

If you go for a ride in someone else's car, you'd better have you car there to take onto the track, because you're going to want it BAD after your passenger ride :)

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
