It was a good day despite the fact that the track had NO grip at all. Guess that big storm washed all the rubber away.

Although I must say I much prefer 3 lap sessions to 20min session. I spent over half of my track time cooling the car down rather than driving fast and most other people (at least in my group) were doing the same.

Hi all, I am glad you all had fun. We made the session 20 minutes to try and give everyone plenty of track time, too much by the sound of it! lol

I am considering the next one maybe have in 15 minute sessions instead of 20 minutes. Which for someone around the 1:45 is about 7-8 laps.

We got a few extra sessions in because there was not many break downs on the circuit, 2 tows for the day.

I will let you all know when the next on is on!!

Cheers

Adam

Thanks for organising the day Adam!

I have to agree with Snowman re: the length of the sessions - 15 mins would probably be a better format.

I was surprised with how little grip there was out on the track - must've been all the rain that there was recently.

Oh - and I need new pads... Anyone got any ideas where to pick up the Ferrodo's from?

Cheers,

matt

Yeah thanks for organising the day. It's one of the better run track days i've been to in a while.

I also agree 20min sessions was too long. Tyres and brakes overheating in that time. I like the idea of 1 warm up lap, 3-4 flying fast laps and 1 cool down lap.

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
