Took the car to Wakefield Park again on 19/7/14, this would be one of the coldest track day I ever attend. It was 0 degree when I arrived in the morning.
 
After 2 sessions, I had some issues from the car;
1. Exhaust made some loud popping when I decelerate (from 4th gear back to 3rd) on the high RPMs
2. Similar to above, when I downshift from 4th back to 3rd gear down the main straight, the back of the car tilted/twist a bit and few times that I almost lost back tractions.
3. The EBC was set@ 1.1bar, even the main straight was only managed to hit 0.9 bar (13psi) and the boost was  slowly creep up after 4500 rpm.
4. The left hand side driveshaft had a tiny leak, probably needs new seal.
 
So did another 2 laps on the 3rd session and decided to finish early on the day and managed exactly the same lap time as last time in wet - 1.14

Fixed the leak of the driveshaft, still try to figure out the boost issue and loud popping noise under high rpm deceleration. Send me a PM if you are going on the 6th September. I will get my car ready soon.

Small Update:
Attend some club cruise last year & the MTC 2015. The MTC was great fun and it's my first time see so many MR2 on the same track! Had the boost issue on the track day. Boost were up to 0.86 bar and won't up any further?  
I'd changed a new O2 sensor late last year and it actually stop the loud exhaust popping under up/down shift
 
Here are some pics (Either from other members or AO graphics)

Hey Steve, somehow I completely missed this thread until now! Now I realise that this thread already has the answers to all the questions I asked you in the last 6 months or so haha.

Quick update:
 
Attend a great track day at Wakefield on Monday (5/10/15) with 3 other SW20 drivers (robk, MR Plow & Fast Eddie). It's been a fun/hot day. I had the same boost issue since beginning of the year at MTC, all day seeing the highest boost at 11.6psi. I was glad that I finally cracked my PB - 1.13.63 with the low boost issue & 32+ degree hot day. It took me 5 track days (since June 2014) to achieved this new PB from the previous 1.14.66.
 
Another thing that I was happy with was the recorded times seems pretty consistent through out the day,
 
1st timed session - 1.13.89
2nd timed session - 1.13.69
3rd timed session - 1.13.63
 
Besides robk (had silicon joiner issue), other two drivers also achieved their PB on the day and most importantly that 4 of us managed drive home safely after the 'HOT' drive day!

So for regularity you will nominate a 1:14?

 to be safe, maybe 1.15. The Advan AD08R starts loosing grip after 4-5 hot laps.
