Not much been going on with this recently. It made a trip to Spring Action day at castle combe where I bought track time even though I said I wouldnt. Dad came along so I wanted to get him out on track for the first time. Just 15 minutes!
I had quarter of a tank which was more than enough for the 15 mins however as soon as I pulled out of the pits and onto the track power was down. Every right hander which is most of the track being clockwise and all the fuel was sloshing to the left of the tank and wasnt being picked up by the pump. Left handers and straights were no problem and the power and grip from the ns2rs in the dry was great.
In the end I had to let a standard gti6 past as it was much faster in the right corners but I was right up its chuff making up the ground on the straights and the two lefts!
Came back into the pits at the end of the session popping and banging to please the crowd.
It was a great day out although there is a new knocking noise from the suspension which I reckon is the drivers side droplink as it knocks over bumps. Will check that out soon.
