supRo Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Quality! Me and my mate were thinking of doing a track day. He has a 1992 Porker Carrera RS, nicely stipped out from the factory! I'll give him a call during the day and confirm. Cheers, Ro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Doh! I have a dirty old HKS Hiper. Bobbeh, are they strict on the noise limit? Ro Very strict, I doubt a hyper will pass, refit stock system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Very strict, I doubt a hyper will pass, refit stock system. Ruthlessly strict, and they have in the past reduced the limit on the day without advertising it. (happened to some scooby owners, none could run) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmic Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I would love to do this Bobbeh but my cars a bit bent, chassis leg needs pulling, shocks are fecked and i keep getting a intermittent misfire when the car is warm,cold or bored. I wouldnt mind coming up to watch or bringing my uncles 996 Carrera 2 so you can all see how yours fair against it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 If they're gonna get all arsey on the day, then I'm not even going to attempt it. Shame And who is gonna retrofit a stock system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 Yeah, noise limits are pretty strict there, I still have both cats in and am still taking my baffle just in case. Kosmic, bring what you want I'm just going for fun and have included some tuition with my afternoon so I can get some tips on my driving and to help learn the track, as it will be my 1st time at Bedford.

Clarkey Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 That's me out then Even with the baffle I doubt I'd get under 101 dB limit. I think Ian C's measured 104 dB with his baffle in when he was at Bruntingthorpe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 If i can get my wheel alignment done and sort out a baffle then i hope to do this, what session are you doing Bobbeh ? Bedford is the track i want to start the supra on as i haven't really pushed her before and it is supposedly quite generous with run off, and no gravel traps and tyre walls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 I'm doing the afternoon Col, 14th Oct. I thought about the full day, but knew I couldnt get up that early in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I've definitely got the Bedford GT track down as the next trackday I want to do, it looks great. Much longer than most and there's a great big straight too. Might well be up for it, have to see nearer the time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I may well be up for this, done bedford a few times, had a big spin at the end of the straight, i will dig out the vid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I may well be up for this, done bedford a few times, had a big spin at the end of the straight, i will dig out the vid. Bet that got your attention, must have been shifting at the end of there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 got upto 145 racing a sierra cossy down the straight and tried to take the s bend at about a ton, didnt happen, did 3 complete spins and went back to the pits to change pants.

Homer Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Very interested in this Bobbeh, never done a track day before but would love to give it a try I'll try and get the sound level tested and confirm later in the week. Not sure if an decatted RSR with the baffle in will meet the noise limit.. As requested, also moved to East events section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 Cheers fella, I think with the baffle you'll be ok, thats the whole reason for having it right? You're BPU arnt ya? It would be cool to have a few Supras up there kicking ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Fingers crossed the noise is okay! BPU and putting out good power. Will be fitting a full set of shiny new Bilsteins and stock drop links the week before along with the Lance W allignement setup. Should be as ready for a track as it's ever been. The biggest problem is going to be the driver! (oh and the brakes, no 'UK' ones here ) Are you allowed round with an instructor or chosen passenger? Wouldn't mind someone with a little more experience to give a few pointers (Bobbeh, Simon? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
