woo PB...boo rain....day summarized for quite a few ppl.

:cheers:

Also don't forget a spin or two for some of us :yes:

Managed 3 session - one completely dry, one drizzly (PB 1:55.3223) and one completely wet. Really did not think PI is so slippery in wet.

I really struggled in wet, but it was also good practise to see how the car behaves.

PS: Funny story - walked up to an Alfa owner to tell him he's car is dripping some oil ............ he just look at me and laughed - guess its a standard feature.

Shame few of them broke down early in the day too, but AROCA run day was pretty slick ptherwise. Really liked the fast change between the groups, and reasonably long sessions.

Yeah was a very good day, we might look at doing some more of theirs next year.

I got same practice completely stuck in traffic so much no heat got in tires and thus could not get the pressure right for sprint.

first sprint, got clean track and a PB..tires got temp swung into pits to set pressure.

rain..

SLIDE SLIDE

soaking wet, but good to finally drive at the island.

were there any photographers out there braving the elements?

Thanks Ash,

Yeah we were out there, got quite a few of you guys getting sideways at one stage...will post up details ASAP.

It was just one of those days, blue skies in the morning. The promise of good things, dry run. Almost dry run, then rain and hail.

The air temp and track ambient were unbelievably low. I'm not sure of the apparent temperature, but is was fugging cold!

The track temp wasn't much better, even with the streeter tyres they where hardly warm after a session out on the track.

Had a blast, with good things to come as 49's come easy in traffic now.

AD08's are 13 track days old now as well ;)

LOL nice braking move by mr porsche at the end of the straight... wtf? was he afraid to take it a bit faster? Nice video and top driving as always John... gotta say, 1:49's on AD08's is awesome! what camera setup do you use now?

Thanks for posting up pics. The Mrs failed to take pics.

Thought I'd take it easy for first few laps. My car is there showing the swarm of mx5's that are unforgiving carnivores. Two side by side passing me on the inside of the hairpin!!

Did you fix the ignitor grounding issue?

Did you fix the ignitor grounding issue?

Fixed the wiring but it seems to be coil packs or something electrical. RacePace have the car currently.... Now to find a GTR intake and FMIC and plumbing while it's there.....

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
