Cheers folks - currently considering coil-overs now given that this is my DKT ( Dedicated KH Toy)..............does anyone reckon they'll be too brutal on a B-Road though ? Any decent ones that you can recommend that are relatively inexpensive ? C_WRX - had about 60 mins of video but Yoiutube only permits 10 min clips. I was overtaken a few times by faster Evo's & some of th Exiges ( oh & DR MotorSport too ) w.r.t Hunting for Sport - I hate being out on track with nobody to play with ( safely !) - it's much more fun tightening up your game to try and pass folk. One thing that I need to bear in mind is how late I can brake. I was braking later & later at the hairpin and the brakes were still inspiring confidence - gain a lot of time that way. That's where I was making up a lot of ground on the Evo's. If only I had DCCD then I could engage in some hairpin showboating ! Cal

Thats a scunner but a necessary evil I suppose - good luck wih the modified mitt

It came on the back of a trailer - seemed to be driven by various people as I was able to tail them with ease under braking & on the corners Extremely fast nonetheless ! Who owns the white & silver Scoobies in the video ?

I have uploaded some video now - cheers http://forums.sidc.co.uk/index.php?showtop...=0#entry1258711 Cal

Video Footage >> SIDC Track Day - 28th March 2009 Processed on an iMac using iMovie Sony TRV22E HandyCam with B-Hague Suction Mount in the rear Windscreen Plenty of footage chasing some silver & white Classic Scoobies - not entirely sure who the drivers were ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyiMA9cnZ1w use the "HQ" ( High Quality ) Option if your broadband connection plays ball Hope your enjoy the footage - comments on my driving encouraged & welcome - be gentle ! Cheers Cal ( lame suspension faction !)

My short report 4 hours seemed to zip past but I had some awesome fun considering it was my first time out. Engine and brakes are superb but the standard suspension needs to go in the bin. I was all over the shop under hard acceleration post apex on occassion. Just does not feel planted enough despite the drop links & stiffer ARB. The brakes on the otherhand are 100% fade free ! Never had any dodgy moments with them. The 5 speed box was giving me grief at the hairpin as 2nd was high up the rev range by the exit of the hairpin meaning I had the snatch 3rd the minute I was in a straight line. Got some pretty decent footage chasing other Scoobies & it's gojng on Youtube just now Downers for me :- Pit Lane being closed means that the chances to exchange chat, battle tales and be more of a community dies a little... Barely spoke to a sole all day with a few exceptions. TMIC scoop decided that it might come off so I took it off as a precaution ( thanks to the Sti Pretender for help in holding the bonnet in the mental wind) Was good to get a chat in the Powmill Milk Bar at the end Footage to follow in due course. Thanks for all the piccies to date - much appreciated and great skills as always Cheers Cal p.s note to self - get decent suspension set-up !

Mega day's track time.........editing footage just now but will fire up some comments later. Thanks to John S for organising as always !

I think I clocked my old car with a high level STi spolier the other day. It sounded awesome - miss that car ! It had a private plate so I could not confirm it but had all the right bits. It was down near the harbour

Nicely timed post - cheers ...........I shall tread with caution although the grip should be greatly improved = later braking. Bring on Saturday !

Meant to add that I tried it @ stage 2 before

Thanks - back into the garage ! Hopefully i'll have some spare blade fuses

Thanks Graeme ! Found that missing Lamco boost gauge in behind the stereo incidentally ! W.r.t the spiral lead - think I might be able to use that if I can trace it. I need to know if there's an inline fuse associated with it. Cheers Cal

Found the OE plug and whacked in a cheapo socket but it doesn't seem to have any life. I dont have a multimeter or the knowledge to go any further. What I did find in the back of stereo was a missing Lamco boost gauge though. Any other thoughts before I fire it round to a auto-mechanic ? Thanks Cal

Could have been used for an external GPS aerial ?

Well seen you worked for the RAF ! Just found this on Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNC_connector Presume it was used for CB radios or something ? Anyone else have any brain waves ?

Always wondered what this connector would have been used for ? Any ideas - Weeb or Pedals could likely tell me but have lost their numbers It's plumbed into the little blanking plate down behind the hand-brake Suspect I could use it for power ? Thanks Cal p.s related thread of mine http://forums.sidc.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=130271

Thanks fellas - off into the garage for a sniff aboot'

Folks, Has anyone any experience in wiring up new ciggy lighter sockets ? My car does not have one at present so wondering how to wire up a doubler socket for powering camcorders, Tom Toms etc Rapido response would be ace in view of the KH track day in a few days. I am too feart to meddle heavily with electronics behind the dash as I have a AVCR etc wired up and dont want to mess with them. Has anyone ran an independant socket and if so - how did they do it ? Thanks Cal

If you need to borrow to do it then don't ! If you have the cash to swop over then do it - very different cars but if you added a VF35 turbo and Sti8 TMIC then you'd easily match the pace of a Wr1 DCCD gearbox wins it for me though. Better brakes and suspension plus 6 speed box. In fact - just do it !

bear in mind that KH is all about a relatively quick sucession of right hand corners. The ring is more punishing on the suspension I'd say. Long straights a mix of varied corners at ring means that I'd be less concerned about oil starvation. Better to be safe than sorry though

Great news - hope to see her in action this year Keep the pics coming too

No Scots in here this time............might be a blessing. Every Scot that goes on these reality shows seem to reflect our fine nation in a dubios light I love the Apprentice although the first few series were the best This bit of footage cracks me up :- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BU_QMq0YHjk...feature=related Cal
