Ten tips to a good day

1.)Oil level is at the Max mark on the dip-stick

2.) Coolant - ensure the overflow/reservoir is full

3.) Brake Fluid - ensure the fluid is at the Max marking in the reservoir

4.) Clutch Fluid - ensure the fluid is at the Max marking in the reservoir

5.) Check that all pipe-work is secure and no hoses are becoming loose

6.) Check that your battery is secure and does not move

7.) Make sure that all caps are on and secure

8.) Suitable material left on your brake pads

9.) Tyres are in good condition and wheel nuts tight

10) Nut behind steering wheel secure

9 out of 10 aint bad

See you all tomorrow guys and girls

1 1/2 ltrs of oils in the can 2 1/2 ltrs in-on-around-under the car with god knows how much I dropped on the track.

First lap was slow as they left the red light on most the way then when it was turned off I gassed it to the last turn braked then mashed it down the straight, slow into 1-exit 2 and headed up to 3 with the arse slipping around which I put down to cold tyres, went around again with the arse playing silly buggers then at the exit of 2 heading to 3 it tanked slapped me around a bit and I went off, I got back on allright but it done it again in the exact same spot AND I lost powersteering so I came into the pits to see WTF was up.

Popped bonnet and the cold side was covered with oil and both the powersteering and aircon belts were off, on further inspection the aircon belt was torn to peices and wrapped around the fan with little bits everywhere while the P/S one had its arse handed to it but not as bad(had alot of the cord ripped out).

Oil came from the catch can which is where I got the 1 1/2 ltrs (volume of the can) from.

Filled up the car with 4ltrs of oil (sump holds about 7), moved the bits of eaten belts and came home.

All in the first 3 laps.........................................................:rant:

The oil sprayed onto the belts causing them to slip off. Let us know what they do about ur engine.

Had a great day today. Few bingles at the end of the day unfortunately. No body hurt luckily.

Time for me to get some decent tyres on the front to get rid of the oversteer and hopefully my wilwood brakes turn up this week. My brakes were a big let down.

yeah thanks people it was ace, no injuries to my pride other than a flat spotted tyre and the odd backwards moment into the dirt.

i wish some other people (Eric) could say the same..poor bugger, keep us posted on devs and if you end up getting any kind of recompense from the offender.

managed a personal best of 1.15.8 so pretty chuffed with that though i know theres lots mores in it!
