Civic Type-R Owners Club & Forum

Rear seats are a decent weight saving as is removing spare wheel and jack but rear cards etc dont really save a owt for he hassle of pulling it all out. Remember to keep an eye on your tyre pressures and defo oil level!!! You want good lot of life in your brakes too!!! Recommend fresh fluid and a track inspired brake pad (ds2500, cosworth trackmaster, ebc yellow/bluestuff etc) other than that, start slow, learn the circuit and have fun!!!!

Im not booked on yet as my brake kit hast rolled up but ill come up for a look!!! You can leave ya gear in the back of my R mate

Your gear should be fine, everyone's in the same boat so there's tackle everywhere. If you want though keep it near mine as there will be a few of us so there should be someone there most of the time. As for stripping the rear i'd only do it if you intend on leaving it out.

As JDP says make sure plenty of pad life as there's some big braking points at cadwell. Just killed mine at oulton so got both front and rears to swap this week, i just hope they turn up in time or i'll be changing them there

Cheers gents.

Yes forgot to say I've also done a little work on the brakes in preparation for this. New Mintex discs and pads at the back and Tarox F2000 discs with DS2500 pads at the front. That and ATE super racing blue fluid. I've never used that fluid on track before so hopefully its upto the job.

Looking at the Javelin entrants list there are 4 Civics booked now. It would be great if we could get together and make a little corner "ours" so theres a few people around the look after the kit.

i'm one of the civics (ash) dan my workmate is in one and i'll be with a couple mx5s and a few others so theres plenty of us. If i can find my pop up tent i'll be taking that too keeps things out of sight so if you can fit anything in feel free. might be worth bringing one too if you have one [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Cheers. If I see a gathering of Civics and MX5s I'll come over and introduce myself. Pop up tent is a great idea!

Brakes should be fine then dood!!! Get there early and get down on the decent tarmac in the pits as i soon dissapears!! Haha
Really wanna do this, but need my brakes to show up hopefully they will and ill just book in on the day

The ATE fluid is pretty damn good on track.

i'll be coming down to have a look. Just spectating though

Cool, the more the merrier...

Anyone know if fuel is sold at the venue or where the nearest filling station is (with super unleaded preferably).

James

Not many petrol stations nearby as it's in the Sticks but they do sell fuel there. Pretty sure it's super unleaded too

Louth 5.4 miles away probably nearest garage with super unleaded

Theres a shell in horncastle with v power or john darks in louth sell super

Many thanks - should be ok then if there is fuel locally. I remember cars I've had before getting through fuel at an amazing rate on track.

James

Is it too late to get on this? Very interested

Plenty of spaces left. Go on!

James

Packed the car up ready tonight. We're driving up Friday evening and staying locally. Should be there nice and early on the Sat morning hopefully.

James

Weathers supposed to be good too, 14 degrees and bone dry tomoz :

I hope so, I've got rear pads to do tonight and also fronts but think I'll leave them to do there as I think it'll be better to bed them in on track. Had new tyres fitted yesterday and they are catching somewhere when hitting dips in the road but I'll have to put up with it tomorrow. Other than that i'm ready

really good trackday today. Some really decent cars there. Here's a few pics of today
