A good day with Northern Jim, a few of the lads from the RS forum (I think) and a few old faces from the ring

a few offs from others made a quiet track day even quieter

I thought my day was going to be short after three outings my front cups were showing a bit of thread on the outside
Ive never changed the camber on them, always set at -1.5, I had to give it a try, well Jim did and after a lot of fiddling knocked it out to the -3 setting
after changing the setting the car was not handling well at all
I spoke to some guys who were in track cars and they suggested a new setting for the suspension, I was running hard at the front and a bit softer at the back, we changed it to a couple softer at the front and harder at the back. I could not believe the difference it made although my cups are now slicks the outside edge was saved and minimal thread showing my rears have still got another track day in them ?? I thought rears went 1st ??

anyway some pics

I forgot to mention, there was a local there who said there had been a one armed demon there a bit back who had an off, he said he had to step in when the guy came off and another guy was going mental with this one armed guy

Glad you boys had a good day! Loving your sunstrip mate, where did you get it from?

What suspension you running btw?

Good pics Steve,looks like you had a good day.

yes it was mate, a bit worried when the canvas was showing at 10.30

I'm sure Jim will be along soon although the M62 near his end was grid locked due to accidents ....

local guy did the sun strip, Phatm3 (Steve) sorted out the art work it was less than £30 fitted

running AST, really happy with it although I have struggled to get my set up right, but when you get to track there is always someone who can advise, I just need to drop the front end a bit more

had to go offpiste to get home, to avoid the closed M62

but As Steve says I am now a fully qualified csl mechanic

He looked gutted at 10am looking at the canvas in his tyre, glad to help mate but please stop soaking your tyres in marmalade, they might last a bit longer


Fantastic day, fantastic track, tight twisty and really ball-wrenchingly fast too, good curry for lunch too

Yeh I forgot to mention the shit I paint on them to make them stickier

I bet the journey was even worse for your mate who was with us
