st3ph3n Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Good pictures. Cal chasing me and the Hypertech Honda behind both of us is top. Looking forward to Cal's vids. Especially when I passed him, waved, then realised I was 20 yards past my braking point for the first turn, so ended up going round it with the arse hanging out, or at least I think I did.
sharon_mccall Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 What a bloody fantastic morning. Scooby Heaven!! Haven't smiled so much in ages. First time at SIDC track day and certainly not the last. Jackie you are my new hero!! Fab pictures.

Enjoyed watching the TVR & ferrari's going at it !!! Gumball --- your car sounds AWESOME when you were tanking it up the straight !!! Sorry I didn't get a chance to speak to many people. Didn't realise that it was a 12:00 finish & had to get home for some sleep ....... working again tonight !!!! Ally.
paulc555 Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Had a great morning ..... Good to speak to you all again ..

Gumball Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 today was a good trackday at KH once again. theres so many cars on the track of verious brands and its awesome to see the cars all going like stink round the track. That Evo i liked, the ferraris and Gordys WR1 which i got a paxlap in. nice car Good to give the money for the paxlaps and also the donation for my 30 mintes tracktime near the end. hope it helps. Good to meet all the guys/gals again, and some new people.Ruby i presume? did you manage to get on for a paxlap? Good to meet Bret at the end, hope i picked up your name correctly? you were nearly right, Wilky is a lunatic also so i can see how you got us mixed up LOL Cal, thanks for the tyres. i didnt put them on in the end cos theyre a nail in two of them i need to get another two tyres i think but i will never be driving fast anywhere with these dunlop sports maxx on. i was ice skating out there this morning.

the squiggle Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Had a good day today even though i never had the intention of going on track when i left the house this morning Absoloutly loved it in the wet coming out of the hairpin in a McRae style and going into Clarks sideways on a trailing throttle, more tea vicar Good to put some more names to faces Cheers to the Wheels Around guy for the emergency spanner and screwdriver use to repair intercooler pipe and cheers to Dipsy, Andy and Pete for the use of some physical wait DOES ANYONE HAVE A PICTURE OF RED WRX STI EXITING THE HAIRPIN IN THE WET PLEASE Only had one session in the dry with Chan and it was good nailing some lines safe in the knowledge it was not gonna break away suddenly. Apologies to all the peeps that opted for a pax lap in my car for screaming like a 2 year old every time it lit up its wheels coming out the hairpin. Most skillfull was going through the chicane in the dry sideways with a TVR up my backside but my personal highlight was every exit from the hairpin giving it a load of opposite lock and welly at the same time. Roll on the next on Grant
paulc555 Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Hi Dipsy... Nah I'm off tom. will do it then....gives me a whole day to mess the car up and make it undrivable for Jo to go to work on tues.....ended up in a soft play area this afternoon with the family..... thanks for the advice.........so can you drive down from Carnoustie if I mess it up??? cheers
dipsy Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Paul you should of let me fit it for you i offered.The performance filter is easier to fit than subaru one ie rubber what sit on the side of the air box is smaller in hight if you take subaru and your performance filter and compare them then you will see
paulc555 Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 No problem....will let you know how i get on.... didnt want to be a pain this morning..so will give it a whirl i should be okay.
st3ph3n Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Grant, my passenger and I were both highly amused by your car pointing in all sorts of incorrect directions out of the hairpin. Probably not good to laugh as mine was understeering away. You were a bit slow round the corners in the wet though as I could catch you quite nicely round the back end of the circuit. What good is power without control?
gordyN01 Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Had a great day was realy awesome except for the spin i did and the grass cutting thanx to gumball for meeting me in glasgow and to all the people i met over the day fai 17 and stephen with the black wrx pity didnt see gumball much on track those brakes were smoking hope i dint scare u too much on paxlap as im still learning lol had too clean wheels when i got back those ds2500 pads dont have give of some sh1t cant wait to next race meeting maybe get more power for then gordy
dipsy Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Was that spooks child with the subaru hat on his girlfriend was holding he a young subaru fan????
the squiggle Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 << Grant, my passenger and I were both highly amused by your car pointing in all sorts of incorrect directions out of the hairpin. Probably not good to laugh as mine was understeering away. You were a bit slow round the corners in the wet though as I could catch you quite nicely round the back end of the circuit. What good is power without control? >> Stephen, those incorrect directions were completely intended to the point of doddling round the whole lap just to nail it out the hairpin Along the back straight, brake gently before the slip road, pull it wide left, complete 99% of braking in straight line, tip in point at cone, apply steering input, get vague rsponse, light throttle, LOTS of understeer, apply left foot to brake, still lots of understeer, last resort was to nail it and let the AWD sort it out, lots of understeer now translates into lots of oversteer with the driver screaming like a 2 year old.......YYYYEEEEEHHHHHHAAAAA Grant
evobaz Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Hi, I was up at Knockhill today with my brother ("sheep" from on here) and a few guys from the MLR (probably swearing on this forum), good day with some really nice cars, pity about the rain at the end. Baz
