just on normal street tyres. they don't allow rally tyres (or anything nobby)

the fast/serious guys use semi slicks becaus ethe track ends up being really hard packed and rubbered up like a speedway track after a couple of runs. hearing tyres squeal on dirt is strange...

Ah thought so looks like fun keeping it straight, wouldn't mind doing an event like that in mine be good to test a few things out before a rally.

the first video the car, the car that went round you on cold tyres and then spun was quiet funny

First session of the day, he had an engine oil drama that over filled his catch can and was dripping out underneath hence the smoke as he went past.

nice Mark! 56 is moving at Lakeside! Its a challenging place to learn - especially in such a fast car. You're going very well. Loking at the minimum speeds in corners you're pretty well on the money as far as I'm concerned. Stokell day looks like a good way to go and get the lines down pat.

tell you what, that bump on the left hander between carousell and the bridge is alot worse at your speed! jeezus!

btw, in some later sections I was getting close to just a slight lift at the kink and flat out under the bridge and over the crest into Hungry. if that doesnt make you feel alive I dont know what will.

Here's a little vid of me in an M3 under controlled conditions. Once a year BMW take all the Master Parts Advisers and Service Master Tech's away for a weekend of fun. This year was E/C,,,we did track work,,,khana's,,,abs testing and go-karts. Oh and free food and lots of piss.

This vid was made using an apple 4,,,handheld by my passenger,,,excellent quality.

Jeff Brabham is the head driver trainer,,,great guy with tons of info.

Cheers

Neil.

What's with braking before the 200m mark Neil!!! :P

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
