Since I got to change my rubber, I decided to treat the alloys with Gtechniq C5

And another set of Kumho V70A's in medium compound

Blimey Dave... Big boy pants on or what Really enjoyed watching the two videos, especially the second one. Looks like a lot of fun.

Hope the car is holding up well? Did you feel the benefits of the brake upgrade? It seemed to go light under hard breaking, but I suppose that's inevitable is it, with it having a lighter rear end? Still, it seems so well rounded on the track. You must be chuffed? I would be.

Thanks James,

The car was locking up at the rear before but I am going from 110/120mph down to 30mph with very hard braking. Going to start looking into removing the ABS (doesn't work anyway) & fitting a brake bias, the first video isn't at my fast pace but because the files are sooo big it takes hours to upload.

Second video I get to give it full beans

I'm pleased with how the car performs, always love it when I turn up at a track day & no one blinks an eye lid at the car then I head out on track & get questions thrown at me on my return lol


Next track day is with Club GTi's sprint Eventb@ Curby on 9th September

I have been looking at V70a tyres too for the Beemer when I get it ready

Is this still going ahead? I was told it was going to be cancelled due to lack of interest.

Shame, it used to be a really fun event.

Im not sure, had a quick look the other night and it seems people are still paying to go

Curby's a real good cheap thrash, done it quite a few times. I'll try and pop over and say hello.

[Dave_R]

Lol not much use for them then, but I've been busting to use the tyre rack.

But had to put the Ibiza further back on the trailer so don't too happy with how the Passat is sitting... Will see how it goes tomorrow.

Making me want a T5 even more

See you tomorrow fella! Be nice to finally see your car

that will be a bouncy ride.

 

[Dave_R]

Curby went will, I enjoyed it didn't come into the top 3. The car was good enough for it, just I wasn't up to the job.... Next time will be different

I did have a bit of a moment though going into the first corner, check out the video link below and I'm sorry for the chicken impression I make after it all.

Hahaha! That wee outburst made me fall off my chair!! That's what it's all about ey!!

Well held by the way! Or sorry nice scanny flick haha

 

[RobT]

Nice car Dave - very clean - and looked to be going ok to me. Good to finally meet.
Curby is a funny old place - very simple when you look at it but quite hard to get right - and of course absolutely no margin for error like on a longer circuit, loose a bit of time and your toast whereas on a longer lap there is always the possibility of making it up again. I haven't been there for quite a while and found it quite difficult after doing long circuits all year. Its all about practice really...
Cheers
Rob

 

[Dave_R]

Know what you mean, looks like a simple circuit but defiantly one of the most technical I've been on funny enough. Probably because like you said its a small circuit & it's the first time I ever been timed, been watching the videos and think I could have used 2nd instead of 3rd gear... Will see next time lol.

Was great to see yours in action, I thought mine was quick but yours is something else!

 

[ibizacupra]

how did you get on Rob?

good save dave btw... only betterd if you had dropped a gear and planted it to pull it out like you intended to do it
