Wow, what an amazing day - thanks to the organisers and can't wait for the next one.

I knocked off 20sec, 20sec, 10sec, 10 sec 7sec each run then had to back off because of oil temps, but i'm definitely hooked to track days now so much fun.

^^^ WOW!!!!

Great day...blew a wastegate hose on the way up and on the way home my exhaust has decided to mate on to my chassis and is making horrid noises..Im guessing that's what Roy was complaining about..

Not a single problem on the track though, go figure..

Took half a tank of E85 and 60lt in drums..did 16 or so laps and drove home on a full tank.. @ just over a 1$ a ltre I'd say that's pretty good value..

All in all was most fun I've had in ages :D

Weather was spot on.

Bugger about the oil down (2 hour delay) and the crash at the end.

Heaps of new faces. Sorry to those we couldnt get driver trainers for, there were just so many of u!

Had a great time, caught up with a bunch of you. Saw some cars and didnt talk to everyone, just so much going on!

The next event it during WTAC weekend, so i will see u again at WINTON.

Good thing i took the car off the track when I did. was pretty nasty driving home. not sure if clutch or synchros. still had lots of fun and probably spent more time on the road than the Chaser's Evo...\

crash? who? what time?

weather was great

disclaimer going up now.

results won;t be up for a week.

I'm out fo town for a few days so won;t get a chance till next weekend.

Rexy wagon came off into the wall at turn 12 right at the end of the day.

but i'm definitely hooked to track days now so much fun.

Your life is no longer your own haha

Was a final test day for them. Now they're going to make that mess of a front bar into dry carbon. They had a broken windscreen too. Random.

I cracked one years ago from sandown ripple strips haha

What happened to your car today mate?? Your car looked and sounded awesome, love your work on the front splitter.

what an awesome track, this was my first time at PI so I am happy with my times and still so much more left in it, need more balls.

thanks to the organisers, officials and photographers. also thanks to John for showing me around in my first session :thumbsup: Does anyone know when the next PI day is? I have found PIARC and MSCA events in Sept so I think I might aim for one of those events.

Only managed to get one session in before the water return line from the turbo decided to $hit itself. BOOooo!

Hoping the engine is OK... Drove back though with a replacement part brought down by a friend. No water usage at the moment (not yet!!!)

    • I left the ceramic coating off this bit, hopefully it just comes off after a few drives.   The gap between the spokes is too tight for anything on a stick, its only marginally bigger than my finger. I have to use a brush to get in there and its a big reason why I thought I'd try the coating.   Absolutely will do. I have EBC Blue Stuff pads to put on the front which will make them a bit dirtier. I'm hoping a pressure wash will just get most off. The shine is different to most, its very thin but seems very well 'attached' so hopefully it lasts.   
    • Barrels don't need to be shiny clean. But they are certainly nicer when they are not polluted with years of brake dust, and worse the rotting corpses of the last 17 balance weight sticky pads scattered all around.
    • Yeah, type a special character like ^ or | to initiate the equivalent of the "at"ing for thread links. Although, it might not get any easier to manage. Imagine 30 or 40 threads that kinda match what you want, and the one you want is lost after a long list of useless ones. The magic keyword version I proposed would be a manual effort to set up each case. More of a directed effort from the greybeards to facilitate exposure of useful content. I'm not against the auto complete stuff being considered - maybe por que no los dos? (And where I said "triggered automatically" in my OP, I meant "triggered accidentally". Of course I want it to be automatic!!)
    • Ah yes, fair enough! I was purely thinking about cleaning the spokes and front of the wheel with the mitt. For the barrel the rag on a stick makes more sense. I've tried cleaning the barrels on mine and gave up in frustration. Between brakes being in the way or spokes being in the way and limited space to constantly move the car front and back it was just too annoying. The barrel being as shiny as the rest of the wheel sounds amazing though. At this point I'm not even sure if they have the same surface finish on mine. But I feel inspired now to find out.
