I dont believe for a second you would of span if it wasnt for the conditions on the track though.

Best be dry next time so that i can properly test out the arb and tyres! Really need to get bushes done and brake lines as well lol.

And cheers for the thanks for the bed for the night, it was nothing haha

Na man, you know I appreicate the bed.. I thought the blowjob was good enough. Like I said, your more than welcome to stay at mine next week with danny and who ever else fancys it.

I found standard brakes with decent pads were fine for croft!, never got any break fade (on the track).. they were a bit crap on the way home though lol

I dunno man, even if it was dry, I made mistakes and because of that the car span.. should have taken into consideration the conditions a bit more before braking that hard. Even breaking hard in the dry the backend seamed rather unstable so i'll free the brake bias off and see what kind of effect that has

Hammered next week?

haha, I feel it looks better than morretes.. but it's there to aid the car as well. The induction kit runs directlly behind that, well it should but I forgot the extra silicone tubing that day. *chuckles*

Sure Cloud can Vouge for how quick the VTR was.

Was good fun, watched the VTR for three laps while trying to keep with it in the Civic hanging off the rear end of the VTS.

Photo somewhere of the VTR right behind it up the straight. lol

Edit:
Here it is just out the hairpin with Jai in his EP3 trying to keep up lol



Was funny watching you drift round sunny in cloud haha looked like the rear of your car was sliding all over into the corners but held well lol, the amount of smoke coming off teh passenger front wheel out the hair pin was un real lol

I'll happily say it's not slow buddy, I had to let off the throttle plenty of times going through the backend of the track though were you can pretty much go flat out. I was a bit gutted that when Richie finally let me past I noticed the god damn red flag.

I can only assume thats the guy in the civic is the only one who was on track, he seamed a nice enough lad. Waved at us when we seen him on the way back from the petrol station.

As for the sliding, it must be my driving style because people said the exact same thing about my green car lol not once that day did I feel the car was going to snap away from me apart from when I turned into a corner far to earlly (when sayer was taking pics ironically) lol

edit:

What kind of racing line do you take around the hairpin? just out of interest because I never really got away fast from there all day!

Your car seemed to go really well Cloud, was definitely inching away on the straights!

Stripped 205? red one?

I was a bit dissapointed with the power on the straight to be honest man, if there is a next time I may have to put some lighter/smaller wheels on / strip the car and put my bucket seats in.
