A bit too much correction for my liking haha :D

I can handle corrections at 80 or 100, but anything up towards 150 makes me pucker so hard I redigest my food a bit.

I was too busy focusing on driving than to worry about hitting a wall ;) haha

I had an even bigger moment over lukey heights at the end of the day but the camera died. I can say my lesson was learnt!

Rolling on Hankook RS3 255/40/17

I had a lockup coming down lukey heights and only managed to turn about 45 degrees before coming off the track. Downhill on grass heading towards the wall isn't a good time! Managed to get it turned on the grass and pottered along the side of the track for a while (ended up rejoining the track after the next marshal point so I didn't dump a bunch of dirt and grass onto the racing line, cus I'm a top bloke like that).

That was my only real pucker moment of the day... Other than thinking those geese were about to hari-kiri seppuku themselves into the front of the car every single lap I went past them.

Haha, yep I hear you, those high speed ones are the ones that make you grip the seat lol

Well done on bringing it back though and you were pretty keen going through turn 1 on the outside of another car on more than 1 occasion lol.

That was some pretty ballsy driving. Well done on keeping it on the black stuff. I reckon I would have needed a change of jocks. Lol[emoji3]

It has fantastic mechanical grip. 255's are perfect for the E36.

It SHOULD be based on the times supplied via Meecamsau

However on Sunday each group had about a 15 second spread... Was more about car type / club than times.
Pretty sure my Meecamsau profile says 2:02, but I was being grouped in with a Lotus Exige S and a Porsche GT4

After a couple of sessions it actually worked out alright, since you knew how fast certain cars were and went out onto the track in an order that let you have a clear run without too much traffic

Awesome save 4ABHGE!!

Great track day!!

How does PIARC organise the groupings? Do you need to update something (times etc) in the meecamsau website?

Sunday was stranger than norm for groupings but I would make sure your up to date laps times are saved within meecamsau

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
