Fronts are rumbly but still working. I've got some new discs to go on from Disc Brakes Australia. They have a special internal vane profile that improves the airflow (hence cooling) and also stiffens the disc to help prevent warping and 'ballooning'. Not cheap at £300 a pair, but if they do the job i'll be happy. Also accepted a kind offer from Peter with a heavily modified
Never yet gone out with him as a passenger but he's always my benchmark for speed. If i can keep up with him on either braking or cornering i'm driving bloody well and he's having a bad day 16 of us booked so far but we normally get 25ish cars there on a club day.

Any of you want to come and mess about in 4x4's and quad bikes the day before?
You're more than welcome to join us for the other activities if you want
I'll ask the question over on the thread for the Rockingham trackday on S2ki. The days are always good fun when there's a good club atmosphere there.... 
. arghghghg. Come on folks, get yer tickets.. roll up roll up! Anyone fancy timing themselves against the Ferrari 550? **gulp!
Nice to having some of the s2000 guys along, I'm really interested seeing how they compare when driven well.*grins*.... very interested in this...

It's also fairly flat so you can see hazards ahead like a car spun and facing the wrong way on the track - much like airfields except kinder to tyres | 99 528i SE Touring | 01 Mandarin VX220lower wrote:

There is plenty of run off everywhere except of the banked corner (turn 4 which has a big wall running along the edge of it). To be fair, i found the wall quite intimidating so didn't go flat out in turn 4 at first until i gained confidence. I never tracked my old rev2 turbo and apart from attending my first trackday at Donington with the IMOC a few years ago, i've never seen one on the track when i've been driving.

I'll be making my track day debut too, so you're not alone. I've booked one of the BaT instructors for a 20 mins session, as it was only £20 quid or so.- loads. Have a look on YouTube for "Ariel Atom Rockingham". (at £199) and on the booking screen the last option box 'half day option' will give you the option to choose am or pm session. Simply select whether you want am or pm, and it will discount £94 making the cost £105 for a half day. - Gaydon to Singapore Overland www.go60sharing.co.uk Should be a good day out Booked: & Phil Archer, Tamworth, Red MR2 GT-S Turbo (300bhp),Derbys, RED MR2 MK1 (120bhp) & Jo Walker, Northampton, Red Toyota MKI MR2 (122bhp) (300bhp) - V6 (200bhp) (122bhp)& Alex Speed, Warwickshire, Blue Toyota MR2 Mk1 SC (180bhp) provisional: (123bhp)Turbo-G wrote:Booked myself in for the half day AM session, bringing my dad along as a second driver.
.. you may find yourself wanting to do the afternoon session as well | 99 528i SE Touring | 01 Mandarin VX220 Although 3/4 hours of ragging time should be enough to get a feel for the car and track without mullering my tyres and clutch etc + strut braces. I feel tein superstreets may well be a worthy purchase next .. don't forget you credit/debit card... you'll be surprised how quick 4 hours go by when two drivers are having fun | 99 528i SE Touring | 01 Mandarin VX220
