Thanks Steve! Yeah so close... yet so far haha. I think I'm not nearly smooth enough with my inputs. I'm kinda just chucking the car in and as a result it's sliding alot and I need to work quite hard to get a lap time. I think it'll take me a while to work up to a 1.11 but I'm certain the car will be more than capable.
 
I did record a session from the middle of the day. Was doing high 15's or low 16's at the time I think. There's a good spin on there as well! I'll upload it onto youtube when I get around to it. It's on my phone so I'll show you next time we catch up.

Cool, just dont slide it as much and you will get better times. Vinny can confirm that.
Look forward to seeing the footage!

Bah! 1.15.1 again!!! A few hundredths slower than last time =(. In my defense, rear tyres were on the wear indicators when I got there (that's my excuse anyway =P). Really slippery in the beginning of the day. Sliding everywhere, spinning every 2 laps (no excuses there, just lack of skill haha) and could only lay down a 1.18. At the end of the day it got much grippier but I still couldn't get that 1.14 I was after. The car could do it, but I just couldn't piece together a clean, neat lap.
 
Will have brand new Kumho KU36 next time and possibly a front sway bar. Will be gunning for 13's.

Wheel alignment and tyre pressures for the track may also help. Track could have been slow too.

Played with the tyre pressures a little bit. Alignment would definitely help. Specifically, I need much more camber especially in the rear. Shoulders are bald. Track was quite slippery as it was the first dry day in weeks so it was pretty dirty and greasy. By the end of the day it was back to normal though.

Got a 1:14.8 at Wakefield. 3SGE, Coilovers and Federal RSR tyres.
 
Can probably get down to 13s with better driving and tyre pressures.

Good stuff. Always fun to have another MR2 to race with! I think you'll get that 13 pretty easily. Was talking to people and they all said the track was pretty slippery that day. I reckon you'll be in the 12's with a few more track days under your belt and a grippier track. Was meant to ask you- how did it feel with the diff? Did it make a big difference, easier or harder to control/slide?
 
Here's some footage of me thanks to asimovy and his go-pro.  [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_Q0abo-iMY&feature=channel_video_title]http://www.youtube.com/wa...re=channel_video_title[/link]. Tips and suggestions most welcome!
