Pilot Pete Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Cracking day today, really enjoyed myself. The meg was handling a lot better than previously, still a little work to do but pleased with the turn around. A few pics: Cheers to Mark for the little ride in the nos powered nova, and nearly taking my life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evo-mark Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 funny old day for me really .. !! anyone thinking of changing there westy for a tin top DON'T the first session I have never worked so hard in a car. I'm sure the nova didn't like me and was trying to spit me off track with violent over steer every opportunity it got Pete then pointed out running 44 psi in my tyres perhaps wasn't helping 2nd session was better but still a bit scary 3rd session I seemed to get my head round the fact it had handling issues and really enjoyed it ,even started to real in and pass some of the cars I had been letting past earlier oh as for Nos gave 3 passenger rides and all passengers started to chuckle when the Nos kicked in I guess it really is laughing gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIMON.G. Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 well i had a good day in the end, the civic put up a good fight with some of the higher powered cars, radicals xtr`s m3`s etc........na only joking all was going well until the second off last session when just before the chequred flag i heard a bit of a bang, rattle and something bouncing off the underneath of the car, turns out the fan belt tensioner had sheared off along with the fan belt, when i opened the bonnet it was lying on top of the rocker cover apart from a few lost bolts, it should be an easy fix thought the nitros nova went well, it looked well quick in a straight line, ill definatly swop you some of your oversteer for some of my understeer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Busa Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Busa went well again today. Brakes were shot at the end (pete will show you all ) temp gauge packed up and speed sensor came loose and ended up half the length it was! disappoint with the duno/sr3 performance i must say! sticking with a westy may be the answer???

evo-mark Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 disappoint with the duno/sr3 performance i must say! sticking with a westy may be the answer??? Martin don't go off radicals on a track day . time after time all the westy boys have been quicker than most radicals at a lot of circuits BUT then you come across a one being driven well and man can they go some if a driver can get the most out of a westfield, I can all most guarantee they will be b****y quick in a SR3 of course you will always fear the NOVA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Good day again today - was only there from 10-12 but saw a lot of decent action. Few cars were surprised me, such as quietness of the yellow/gold TVR, was expecting something ravage! Red civic was doing well too... Uploaded some pics here.

Pilot Pete Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Brakes were shot at the end (pete will show you all ) And so I shall.
