[subarucraig]

thats one ace vid glad you shared it thank you

[Badgerboy]

Nice 1 Chris!

Car sounding very sweet and you seemed to be pressing on a little lol

Can I ask what the script was with exhaust noise? Do they check / test your car on a db meter or something?

Cheers

Andy

They didn't bat an eye for noise of my car, just smile to the marshals! The lancia stratos was totally mega loud, and got on track, but who'd refuse a stratos a lap or two

Get round there in your scoob man definately!

the fella in the pax seat is my old man!

anyone hear that fuel surge after the first few corners? It was weird cos the tank was above 3/4 full! it was doing it below half, but thats normal. anything to worry about? it was aral 102 ron fuel.

Nice vid Chris

[Kosy]

Been watching the vid again- was it a Sunday you were there? Track seems very quiet, were you on a special day or just lucky?!

it was really quiet on track, but car park was still pretty full! just because it was november, and most people (i guess) were worried about weather conditions so didn't make the trip there. It snowed on the tuesday after I left so we were incredibly lucky with weather really!

The quiet track was a total blessing, I've seen vids where you have to constantly be moving out of the way for traffic.. how do you get a clean lap in then!

i've been watching it back too.. I WANNA GO BACK!!!

my weekend at the ring was busy, like glasgow m8 on rush hour, but enjoyed the trip anyhow

did you manage a clear (ish) lap at all mate?

when I go back next its likely to be high season.

[terzo neil]

best lap with alot of traffic was around 10mins 30 secs, only drove 4 laps, got 3 passenger laps to get the rough layout of track, never played it on playstation or like, went out blind not knowing the track

you did it blind??

sorry...

must've been pretty exciting doing it without knowing any of the layout! i totally recommend to others reading this to get many laps in on playstation, and correlate with you tube vids. i heard of lots of anecdotes whilst there that the first words people speak after a crash is "it wasn't like that on playstation". even so, i found it very useful.

Nice one Chris Take it you got the speedo working then

[soundie]

Cheers Andy

yeah, afer trying absolutely everything - it turned out to be the first thing I tried! Who'd have bet i'd replace a faulty sensor with another faulty sensor.

Andy, while you're here.. Can you lend your opinion on the Surge type behaviour at 0:56 seconds on the video?

not pulling amazing G's, and the tank was 3/4 full.. Steve said it might be a problem.

And by the way, I feel I couldn't have asked for anything better to drive about the ring. sweet map.

[Kosy]

That was brilliant you managed to get such a clear track then. What spec/power is your car running?

brief spec,

'wrx RA'

6 speed conversion

Hyperflow TMIC

AP 6 pot front, Brembo rear

Helix Autosport (4.3kg) flywheel and clutch

GFB underdrive pulleys

Hayward + Scott headers and uppipe and downpipe + centre section

Ninja bb

fpr, parallel fuel lines

most whteline stuff

bilsteins

andy guessed 330/330 when he mapped it.

[Kosy]

Very nice indeed, I just wanted to know as your car was flying along. I remember watching the old CK1 vids (Stef from Scoobynet back in 2001 or so) and he drove the car very hard but it didn't seem to pile on the speed like yours. I'm aiming to get mine up to 320 or 330 with an andyf map early in the new year

What kind of rubber were you running, Chris?

yes spec 2!

how the hell does one get 888's on a classic without wide arch kits et al.

they don't seem to do a 215/18 variety.

Must take a look... having a think about replacements for the current tyres when the time comes.
