Hobgoblin Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Hi all. Am booking this today; https://www.trackdays.co.uk/book/cartrackday/9821/ Just got the small detail of the kitcar to assemble! Currently doing a Ford 2.0 install in a Locost kitcar. Hope to get around 170hp, in a 500kg car, so should be pretty nifty. Anyone here up for this?

Sheefa Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I've just booked on mate so see you there. Not sure if I'll be in the Supra or BMW yet. Need to decide given noise restrictions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobgoblin Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 Excellent. My mate will also be there in his Mini Cooper S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) Think I'll be in the BMW given noise limitations. Still close to 400bhp, 4wd and M-Performance brakes should make it entertaining even if it is a touring barge!

Hobgoblin Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Will look out for you. My kitcar is due back from the rolling road a few days before this, so you may well see us in a gold colour MX5, which I bought incase of a delay with the kitcar.

Have you measured the noise output of the Supra, 105DBA is pretty loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 It's about 98db static and I would say easily 110db drive by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annabella Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 If didnt have other things to spend money on, I would be there for this, Three Sisters definitely wetted my appetite! Oulton is on my list with Cadwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Bump. Looking forward to this, still undecided on what car to take! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Don't take anything your at risk of not getting on the track with. They are strict at luton with noise so if you suspect the supra is over don't take it. If you have open screamers leave it at home 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobgoblin Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 I thought they were pretty laid back ref noise testing. They could not do a static test on my car, I couldn`t hold it at the required 5000rpm, as I have just changed from single to twin coil setup, and the tacho does not work. The guy just gave me a sticker anyway. Anyway had a good day in the newly built kitcar, hope you enjoyed it, Greg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobgoblin Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Have also booked another day there, 25th November; http://www.javelintrackdays.co.uk/trackday/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=1411 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 They are very strict at Oulton. Its more the drive by sensors as I got called to race control last time I was there as i had a misfire that was tripping the drive by sensor. Fix it or get off I was told!

Hobgoblin Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Think i`ll book that 1, RE noise, they have to be strict, the db trips are linked to the council apararently , the circuits get some $#@! about it. I think I was lucky this week. My car pops and bangs like hell on downshifts, and could well attract the attention of the noise police.
