Time for another update.
I was invited by my old university to attend their car club track day early in August.
I managed to complete the front splitter prior to the event, but I was not comfortable with the structural integrity of the wing at this time.
I really struggled to lay down a good time for the whole day due to the traffic from the other uni students. This was also a bit of a grudge match, one of the students, Jivan, had purchased 5SGTE's old Mitsubishi Evo. With two sessions to go, Jivan managed to lay down 1.03.06.
As I entered the last session for the day, currently on a 1.04 lap time, I somehow managed to pull out a 1.03.04 and snag the lead for the day
https://youtu.be/ekPnvVgVk8QSo, I noted a few things after the event, including camber. my current coilover setup did not have any camber adjustment, so I upgraded to a set of BC's. Nate helped me out with an excellent wheel alignment before the MR2 Super Sprint day.
The super sprint day was the first oppertunity for me to test out my aero kit. I drove without it for a couple of sessions on the full circuit, then installed the wing for the remainder of the day.
The difference was very noticeable, and allowed me to carry substantially more corner speed. The cars orientation shifted from oversteer to a slight amount of understeer due to the rear aero bias. This was preferable for me.
Overall for the day I managed to do a 1.02.19 which I was very happy with. This was roughly in-line with a group of GT3's and 911RSR's that were out there for the day.
I'll be doing a few more refinements before I hit Wakefield, but hopefully I'll be closing the gap between Adrian and Admin this time around.
