to be honest turn 1 scares the shit out of me.

And I think you'd already left by the time XCUZME had his little excursion.....

Was starting to get turn 2 down better after some good advice from Scathing.

Good to hear. I still can't get the Turns 2-3 complex correct consistently, but I know where I should be even if I can't make it stick.

yeah that wasn't fun. I was right behind him.... well not directly, but I was directly behind the soarer on the racingline and he went the inside to overtake him, a little too fast.. felt like it all happened in slow motion. My hands wouldn't stop shaking ... and was hell nervey first session back out there.

He must be feeling a little sore today!!!

Great time! I thought you said you were running around 2 mins! You must have pulled out a blinder for that lap....

nah.. 2.03 .. I wanted to get under 2mins... but it wasn't going to happen. Bit disappointed!!! But next time hey!

but far out, I am sick of all the drivers thinking they are shit hot and being too stubborn to let a faster car through! The amount of times I had caught up to a car by turn 2.... not being waved past and having him fang it down the straight only for me to catch him again come the first corner... it's a f**king joke.

I'm certainly not the fastest driver so when i see a car coming through in the rear view.. i automatically stick my hand out the window and wave him past so I don't disrupt his lap as much.

Anyone else missing a few sessions of timing??? It looks like I've got some missing.

Was someone else driving your car or using your transponder? Your time on Natsoft is 1:52.

Yeah, I had a massive rant about it after the Wakefield CC...for which I got told off about. The A group is generally quite courteous. Aside from the cock in the turbo S2000, who has a reputation for it, to my knowledge everyone else in my session was waving faster traffic through. But when I drove in the B group at Wakefield, I had a couple of guys not wave me past, and in fact I had an Evo baulking me when I had a look up his inside to engage him in a braking duel.

I promised Narada I'd do a "track courtesy" article, which I haven't completed yet. I'll try finishing it off this weekend so he can print it in The Circuit and maybe up on the site.

that's a top idea!!! I hope the yellow s15, the black integra, the white integra and the black soarer read it! I don't think i got one clear lap in because of all the traffic... maybe I'm just too nice and should try and nudge my way infront anyway.

Yeah liz, what gives? You're 12 in the natsoft listing :) did you cut across the in field at some point :thumbsup:

Nice times btw guys.

don't get too excited, I still can't drive lol.

I shared my transponder with Andrew was they didn't have enough to go around.

      Research research research, and tackle the important things first, like the rust, because as a wise old hippie and some crazy horses once said "rust never sleeps" Nothing good comes easy and fast, and nothing that comes easy and fast is typically good

      Using Trickle Chargers

      By The Bogan · Posted

      I made an extension of the item circled above in red that is hard wired to the battery and tucks away nicely in the engine bay, could easily do the same if it in the boot, just run the extended cable out under the bonnet or boot lid, I then just stick the charger on a milk crate to get it off the ground

      RB25 Oil Pump Regulator Washer???

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's purpose will be to stop the regulator plug from leaking oil. As GTS said, if it seals properly, it will mainly just have the effect of slightly higher oil pressure. I'll assume tolerances/fitment in the relief valve aren't that close that the washer being missing won't let it vent at 100% capacity too.

      Using Trickle Chargers

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I put the charger in the engine bay and run the power cord down through one of the holes in the undertray, or at the back end of the engine bay, any time I need a car to be on a charger outside. In fact, I bring the extension cord up through into the engine bay so that it's not dragging around where it could get wet, or easily unplugged.
