Terzo204 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Thanks Lee. I put it all down to my expert pit crew! Blog now posted. Are you out again this year? Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowlee Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Cadwell entered for open and mag7's on 17th and 18th this month and then oulton for mag 7's on 15th October. My pit crew was pretty awesome as well, especially for the borrowing of the tools. Note to self to take some basic tools with me to the pit lane, just in case. I was so close to driving off with your Phone still on the back of the car :-0 New top nuts bought for the front, with good nyloc!! Watched the video back and the 'moment' that I had at the chicane doesn't look anywhere as impressive as it felt :-( I have been in contact with Adam and hopefully at some point soon we are going to tie up and get the car set up correctly.

Terzo204 Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 It was Marks phone im glad you didnt as he would have got grumpy with me! I can't recommend Adams services enough. He did a great job on my car. Cadwell Park will be one hell of a drive from the IOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terzo204 Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 So why do my ZZR's look like this: http://www.avonmotorsport.com/road-legal/performance/zzr and everyone else's at my last race meeting look like this (top one): http://www.16vminiclub.com/showthread.php?t=29542 What's that all about then?

AdamR Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Are you on 15" wheels Mike? Can't remember... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 That's why, the larger sizes have more grooves for some reason! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terzo204 Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 And less grip I guess….. I'm not sure they are much better than my 888's but that's life I guess. Set up's still good though Adam! Runs brilliantly round Donny but maybe just a touch too much underteer at Craners, but perfect everywhere else. Probably me pushing the front end with an imperfect line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Maybe - should clear water a lot better though! Strange you don't find them much better than 888s, a lot seem to rave about them... Glad the car is still doing ok Craners is probably a good place to have a bit of understeer, keeps it safe! Front end will lift a little at very high speed too... Has your internet got sorted yet for uploading vids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terzo204 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Yeah, I don't think the tread pattern helps on the 15 inch tyre. In fact, I would go so far as to say that I think the 888's have more surface area in contact with the road You are totally right Adam - I did have a touch of oversteer at one point which 'focused my attention'... I have tried to upload to You tube - I have fibre now and despite it being .mov files, it keeps saying 'The video has failed to process. Please make sure you are uploading a supported file type.' Any suggestions Adam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terzo204 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Turns out i cannot upload more then one gig. Problem solved and my first three laps of my Donny race are here: I had a disaster on the first lap with a crap great change at Coppice and I get stitched by two cars. I then missed third coming out of the Foggy esses and lost bags of time. What a plonker. I then get lucky as one car spins at McCleans. Then, at Coppice, the very next corner, two cars retire having had a coming together. The bonnet of one car being left on the track and I nearly collect it. The touch of oversteer at Craners was fun... Eventful might be the appropriate word here!

Terzo204 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Trouble is, i can't hide the mistakes! Ended first in class and third overall so came good in the end. One happy racer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
