Damned Carbonetics twin plate clutch just went, stripped both clutch plates of their splines. Not bad after only 5000k's. Can't say I have ever seen that before.

Anyway, box dropped today, clutch plates replaced and should be back on the road tomorrow morning, just in time to pull it all apart again and do the coilovers. The things we do to get to the track... :P

What the hell were you doing to the poor clutch to cause that, lol?

We still have plenty of spots open for the day, so if you are on the fence, get off it, as the long range forecast is for 0% chance of rain.

Here is a little inspirational video from 2012 with Cam Mcconville doing a track walk.

Just a couple of questions

Firstly, I have filled out my CAMS Level 2 application, if I bring this on Saturday will I still be allowed on the track even though it hasn't officially been processed?

Also, my fire extinguisher is currently located by the floor of the passenger side rear seat, would this be acceptable?

How is it mounted? Securely with High Tensile Bolts and a Metal bracket/clasp or is it Tek screwed into the floor?

Can you reach it from your drivers seat while your seatbelt or harness is on and done up tight?

When entering, you selected to pay for CAMS as well? If so, bring the forms along on the day and we'll sign off on it :)

That position in the past has bedn generally acceptible. Though personally I'd like it closer.

Bring your cams paperwork and we, will sort you out.

It's fixed quite firmly with a high tensile screw to the seat mount.

Can definitely reach it while my seat belt is on.

Thanks for the quick feedback.

The notion of being able to reach the fire extinguisher whilst your harness is tightened is rubbish. When I'm strapped tight in my harness, I can barely turn my torso, let alone reach down to the floor pan to grab my fire extinguisher at my feet. Yet scrutineers have never said it's a problem in any event I've attended.

The only place I've seen these 'requirements' is in supplementary regulations for some events which are essentially "made up" by the club running the event. There is no such requirement stipulated in the CAMS manual.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
