<< Absolutely superb day!!!! Had quite a few track days before, but enjoyed Saturday the most by a long shot. Most of that I can put down to AP 6 pots - they're awesome !!! No fade whatsover, and only a slight spongy feel after a LOT of laps. Still stopped fine though, just not as firm a feel as when cold. Down to the fluid more than the brakes I guess. I've never been able to stay out for more than 8 or maybe 10 laps before, but I was out for a full 30 mins at the end, and all was still well !! (except for the tyres going off slightly).
Big thanks to all the cars who span in front of me too - the entertainment value was great. Always a little sphincter twitching when it happens, as you don't know which way the spinning car is going to go, but no harm done in any of them, so big smiles all round. I think there was a couple of elises, a scoob wagon, a 350z and a lotus 7 type car!! Apologies if I was the cause of you pushing that bit too much !! Congrats to Evo John for hanging onto his car through a few twitchy moments too - not sure if I'd be keeping that geometry setting mate !!!
Only negative parts of the whole day was me getting there late due to Bridge traffic (a car broke down ON the bridge right in front of me), and fuel surge at the hair pin !! I should know better and should have taken a couple of gerry cans, but once I got to half a talk, virtually every lap I got fuel starvation as I accelerated out. VERY frustrating when you're lining up to overtake on the straight!!!! Apologies to anyone who pulled over to let me pass to find I wasn't on your tail anymore !! That's why !
Nice to meet...... :
Don (350Z) - Nice driving until.... you know what - Welcome to a pax lap anytime mate !

Dougie549 - thanks for the pics - nice camera work
To answer the previous threads, the car is bog standard, except for the AP's. It's even got the cats and paper filter in it!! In fact even the tyres are the original supplied ones !! They are kinda semi slicks mind you !!!! My list of mods is quite impressive, but they're all still sitting in the garage !! Full scoobysport system, sti panel filter (was fitted, but took it out for the recent service), defis, sti rear lights, intercooller splitter and 19's. I should just take a couple of days off work and fit them all I know, but other things always seem to need done!
Anyway, I've waffled enough and can't put off work any longer!!!
One question though - can anyone work out where this pic was taken from - I can't work it out at all !!! : http://chris-ross.fotopic.net/p8534534.html >>
I found the same when i had my P1 on knockhill, coming out of the hairpin once i got to a half tank i was getting fuel surge. Im also running AP 6 pots and loved them round knockhill
