Was at the same day as B24. He took me for a ride towards the end of the day and man that car is insane. Almost as crazy as the driver haha. And it's much louder than it sounds in the you tube videos. Thanks for the ride mate!

I managed a 1:16.4 after the track dried out. It was actually really grippy which was surprising.

Lap times are up on the Circuit Club website and photos should be up in the next couple of days.

No worries Adrian. I think the oil leak(and dampish track) was playing havoc with the rear end of the car which has something to do with the semi drift session we ended up with. Turns out the cooler fittings were loose causing the leaks. They are now fixed, the car is in the garage, the front links are now sitting on the bench ready to go too.
Well done with the 1.16. I will come for a drive with you next time.

Cheers

Glad the leak was only a minor issue. You'll have to take me for another ride when your car decides to stop going sideways =P. I'll definitely take you for a spin next time. Just hope I don't run out of petrol again. I could use a few pointers. Really hoping to crack a 1.16 flat.

We fixed it before it came off the trailer. IT will be relocated to improve cooling ib a week or two and yes we will aim for a cleaner run next time out.
remember, I will always have a few litres if you run out mate.
As for pointers, get your hands on Rfactor, download Wakefield Park circuit, get your hands on a steeering wheel and practice, practice practice. Buy a book called speed secrets. Very useful book.
Also happy to come out for a few laps with you.

See you soon enough

Steve

Unfortunately the export option was too hard and expensive. Garage space over here costs ££££ so for this year I'll have to stick with my track days in the BMW.

Surok - hope you like the car - convince Rico that it's exactly what he needs and then I have an excuse to come home and go to the track with you guys when I hand it over

Are non MR2 lap times ok?

E46 330ci - nitron coilovers, oil cooler, H&R sway bars, Rogue Engineering strut bars and full nolathan bushes, Yoko AO48Rs and tricky brakes and a nice seat Sparco

Goodwood - 1.34:2
Oulton Park GP (damp) - 2.08:5 pre suspension upgrade
Silverstone GP - around 2.25s pre suspension upgrade
Cadwell Park - coming up May
Croft - coming up July

I have some video that'll be up on youtube shortly if you are interested in these UK tracks - Oulton Park is very nice.

B24 I'm getting FRP doors soon from carben creations soon, if u want I can get some made for you too and we can split post ... pm me

Why don't you stick on a pair of those scoops I have if you want better cooling? They actually make a big difference (if you have something to cool e.g. intercooler or in your case and oil cooler). They mostly just sit and look nice on my car. But actually I noticed the engine compartment cooling fan doesn't come on now after I pull in from a session so they must be doing something.

Oh and photos from the day are up. Good shot of me in the dirt, a few shots of your car and 1 mad photo of Surok cleaning up your oil slick haha.

TRDEE, well done with the 1.14. Great time a NA.

Hah I wish that time was N/A. As per my previous post that was with a GZE conversion and cusco pulley making 102.5RWKW.

In that setup it would have been good for an easy 1:12 with some non freaked tyres and brakes on it, so I'm hoping for a 1:10 or better once the turbo swap is done and I learn how to drive it all over again haha!! Hopefully I'll be back there for the toymods trackday on may 20, probably wont have money for new tyres by then though, too much else to do first!

I read a lot in the forum but don't contribute, sorry, perhaps I will contribute more as time goes on. I finally got he chance to do a few laps at Symmons plains 2 weeks ago. I private hired the track and spent the day doing laps to learn to drive at angry speeds and to test the car. Its N/A and setup for endurance not sprint. Additionally it has very old tarmac rally tyres tat are pretty hard now. i decided to leave them on, may as well bugger up old tyres as opposed to a new set. Anyway, my best time was 1.13.9. most laps were in the 14's. Last time i was there last year I had fuel feed probs. It was the tank/pump but took 8 months to sort out. At that time i was getting 25's. The car isn't sporting the greatest and latest speed mods. It's kinda nice driving a car that won its class in 1992 12 hour Bathurst with the same gear. Anyway, there you go. Hope to add more stories once i play with my friends at regularity events on club days. BTW i used a full tank of petrol and covered about 65-70 laps. I came off at the end of the straight 5 times. The first time was a big off. I now have a slight sway in the back end between accelate and deaccelorate but haven't had the chance to take a look under it. Anyone have any tips where to look? I suspect a bent something.

Fuel economy sounds very good. Hope I manage something similar when it stops overheating in 5 minutes..
AS for your accident, just have a look at the rear toe links first, then check all the bushes by loading the pivot points with a crow bar to see if the bush is damaged. Hope that helps

Got a 1.15.1 yesterday at Wakefield Park. Same setup as before. I'm sure the car is good for a 1.14.5 or quicker in it's current form. Just need to find improvements with the driving. I reckon 14 flat could be a possibility with a pro driver. Given that, my new long term goal is a high 1.11 once I get coilovers, Advan AD08's and a front swaybar. I may or may not need new tyres for next time. Current tyres still have decent tread but missing quite a few chunks. If I do get new tyres (Advans), I'd be happy with a 13 but we'll see how we go. 
 
Lap times and photo's from the day are now up on the circuit club website.

1.11's. Thats a great goal Adrian.
Well done on the 1.15.1, so close to cracking the 14's.
Do you have any in car footage?
