Weekend Ring Pics

[DazBlackCSL]

Awesome day on saturday about 28 degrees and not a cloud, think due to the fact the DTM was on and all the hotels and B&B's were booked there were far less idiots out on track, one of the best weekends for couple of years with some very good clear laps, anyway some pics courtesy of the J man ;)

First pic below, the missis playing bejeweled ! :hahaha:

[DazBlackCSL]

Yep and there all sold now as well, going on another SB CSL, pics im sure will be up when his cups arrive :whistle:

Quite like the std wheels again ! lol

Been playing and tweaking with it for ages now, as never really been happy with the clubsport hybrid set up ( went to extreme for day to day road car ) would of been fine on 99% of tracks if that was the only time I used it, but for road and the ring was too much, had the springs changed on the last trip which made it ride better, but the camber settings were out, i.e too much, and still felt not 100%.

Had it fettled at AMD down in essex a few days before the trip and it now feels right, not felt like that since the weekend last year with Rob / Alex / Ade etc when were playing with the ring taxi, so im now happy ( at fooking last ) :hahaha:

[DazBlackCSL]

Few pics from various randoms :hahaha:

[Dan]

Couldn't get away from that Black Porka could you! :hahaha: ;)

Glad your happy with it now, seeing as all these people can lap the Ring so quickly in standard cars I'm going to leave mine nice and comfy for a while! lol :thumbs:

Best mate and vinyl man ;) His first weekend on cups, with new KW set up in the dry and upgraded hoses and RS29's, he was very happy, he started out life in a std 4s and ive turned him to the dark side, think a Turbo or GT3 is on the cards for him ! lol

Good pics. Out of interest what springs have you gone for? I was thinking my KW V3 springs might be a bit soft at the rear.

Running a clubsport base kit, with a reworked set up, some parts from the race kits, was running 90N springs, had them changed to the 70N spring rates as they were too hard, these are now much more progressive and drivable on road / ring at speed. :thumbs:

Oi! You're lucky they let you out of Cornwall occasionally! :hahaha:

Do you know how they compare to regular V3 spring rates?
