Looks like you had an interesting day with those conditions. I saw the white S2000 went off!
How were the brakes Ash? probably didn't get to properly use them with a damp track

They were faultless was very pleased with them [smilie=karls_thumb.gif] plus its the first time I've gone home without some horrible vibration.

I had a good day, even though I only managed 50mins on track before my supercharger broke. The impeller broke off!

After removing the impeller from the housing in the pits I managed to get the car home OK. I now need to see if there is any other damage, clean out the intake and fit a new charger ready for returning to Oulton Park in March

Glad it got you back home, at least with it going early gave you time to get it drivable again. Touch wood nothing else was damaged and hope to see it running again soon!

Just watched that video, I need to start braking later and going full throttle sooner - as the car looks more planted and capable than what I'm thinking

Good video though dude

It takes time to get used to driving on track, I always look at my videos after and think I could go faster but at the time it felt like you are on the limit.
Also didn't look the best of days to go being brave either with wet and dry lines haha. Wish I could have come down but its too far to travel just to watch

[Milano Trev]

True, just need to build confidence in myself as I know the car is more than capable..

Few issues with the wheels, rubbing on damper cup at front as I'm not running coilovers yet - so had to use some 3mm spacers for the day (cheers ash)
Also the rears where catching and rubbing even with rolled arches.. Drivers side was rubbing on bumper fixing as it bolts to rear quarter.. So had to fit road wheels to the rear to prevent

That said car still behaved better, on the dry line, better than it did in march..

supercharger fly video sounded ace

Thanks, it would have been nice to get a bit more time on track, but it could have been worse!

I have compression tested the engine and it's still got good compression. I had the bore scope in the engine and there's definately some pitting on the top of the pistons that wasn't there before. It's not bad enough so that they look like the sand cast stock pistons, but they have taken some stick from the bits of charger that went through the engine. It's not bad enough to make me want to strip down the engine though. So I just need to clean out the intake, change the oil, fit a new charger and I'm ready to go.....

The JRSC with the carbon boot. The vid of the flyby is me filmed by my mate. Once you went passed me I was following (well trying) for a bit and realised my line was off on a couple of corners.

I had an instructor session at 3pm and went really well once I had someone who knew what they were doing telling me what to do

Man you really need to chill out! You are aware that not everyone is a track hero don't you?
Everyone has payed their money and everyone has a different skill set. Patience is a virtue as they say.

On a more positive note the car looks pretty well geared for uk trackdays.
