pedrosixfour Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Great work there mate. Thank you for the kind words buddy. It's the one thing in this whole bloody car that my poor sense of style didn't ruin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Nahh ... the whole car looks ace. Some small videos of it in action would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Nahh ... the whole car looks ace. Some small videos of it in action would be great Trying to get my name onto a short list for a dyno day on the 19th of this month. As it's a track car thats probably all the action it will see before the new year, I can't find any local track days happening before the end of the year. There is an excuse for an industrial estate/yard near me, I might pop the car onto the trailer and head down there on a quiet day so I can get oils up to temperature and test the brakes at least before I cut loose on a track. If I do I'll bring a spare pair of hands and a camera. To record the explosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I've just booked and paid for my first outing in nearly two years! It's not until the 29th of June though, there is another track day running in conjunction with the Irish Time Attack series on the next bank holiday. (the 4th of June here in Ireland) I'm very tempted to put my name down for this one too, Time Attack might be where I'm going with this project so it would be good to speak to a few of the competitors on the day and to compare times. Just need to wire in the boost controller and the FCD and get my R888 tyres moved to my wider set of rims, then I think I'm all set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be good to get a club series going somehow?? There are quite a few track Supra's on here now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 If all goes well and the car stays together for the rest of the year I'd love to throw the Supra onto the trailer, grab the ferry and meet you all at Anglesea or somewhere similarly near the west coast for a track day meet! OR Get your arses over to Ireland for a meet at Mondello, the MLR did one a couple of years ago that I attended and it was bloody brilliant!

SteveR Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 ...and if i can get away with a screamer Almost no chance of this, sorry. I had mine re-plumbed back into the exhaust exactly because of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I can look into arranging a club day if you want (with the mods agreement of course). Where would people want it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I can look into arranging a club day if you want (with the mods agreement of course). Where would people want it? Just out on interest, what do people think of airfield days like RAF Marham, as it's only £60 for the day and the one at the end of this month seems like they're going to reverse the track in the afternoon, so 2 tracks for £60 seems good. I think from reading, that they're going to run another one later in the year. I'd love a club track day as my first one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love a club track day as my first one Airfields are ok, However as its not a "track" I feel it detracts from the "feeling" of the trackday.. there is nothing like going around an actual race track. Granted ...Race tracks are more expensive but I think its worth the extra cash. I am happy to do an Airfield day but I would rather do an actual track.

hackin_n_bashin Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'd love us to have a club track day, think an airfield is very good for those new to the game as the run offs are generally larger and more forgiving, although the crest on the runway used to worry me, especially flat out in a landy!

AlexM Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I can look into arranging a club day if you want (with the mods agreement of course). I would pick a track and try to reserve a few spots on a track day for people to book, far easier. I'd be surprised if you got 10 people with minimal fuss. I'm not interested in airfields, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted ...Race tracks are more expensive but I think its worth the extra cash. I am happy to do an Airfield day but I would rather do an actual track. Ah cool, fair enough. I think an airfield day would be good for myself due to (as you said) the large run offs as a first timer. If a club trackday was booked, I'd be happy with that, as everyone knows how quick the other cars are, so hopefully no one would do anything stupid or dangerous or try to show off. I'll keep my eye on this for any updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilp9876 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Bedford is an excellent circuit for beginners but you need to have a quiet exhaust. Once you've done a day there you will be comfortable giving any track a go. I'm hoping to do brands this year and maybe silverstone, if I book something I will put it up here in case people are interested, its always nice to have people around in case something breaks.

TubbyTwo Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 airfields have their uses, like getting used to driving the car at high speeds. Can beat a real track tho, although Marham is always a laugh and its for charity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 ive never had a problem with my open wastegate Have you been to a track with noise recorders out on the track (not just at the gate when you arrive)? Croft was very nearly closed forever due to breaching noise limits, Bedford has council-owned & checked noise recorders on site.... it's really sad but the limits are killing our tracks off and the owners are (mostly) very, very careful not to exceed them.

mellonman Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 okay lets find the tracks where they dont have the noise recorders on track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
