Oulton Park 31st October - Page 3 - Saxperience

Got a set mate

If it's raining, the T.D's are staying on with the Michelins :-/

Could do with finding a set of wets just for the track actually. Shame the VTR wheels are flat bolts. I can't use them on the stud conversion now. Unless I carry another set of bolts around!!

Decent! You'll be better on the yokos unless it's really really wet.

It's one thing I've never had on a track day, full wets.
Remember going out in my mates Leon Race car (the time attack one) on inters and we were pretty much the fastest thing there by a long way!

Alanapone^p · 5th September 2012, 21:39

I just hope I can unlock my brain and get around the track quickly enough to get the tyres to do what they do best!!

I'm seriously thinking about getting some tuition on the day... even if it's only for a few laps so the guy can tell me to stop being a pussy and go faster or what. I can learn lines and have a good feel for them after reading some really good guides online so I just need to know how fast I should be hitting places I guess.

Either way, I'm really looking forward to it!!

It'll be the best money you spend tbh.

My Dad had tuition at Cadwell and it made him faster by going slower. I know that's sounds Irish but its true through certain sections.

Oulton is a really technical circuit and awesome when you get it right. End of he day it's not about breaking records but it'll give you a lot more confidence.
I can talk you round of you can't get tuition though. I'm no expert but mate who races the RX said my lines etc were perfect, but I wasn't hitting the kerbs as much as him!

Alanapone^p · 5th September 2012, 21:57

Sounds like a plan. Just hope I can get my passenger seat fitted then

Going to try and get a crack on with the car next week. Got a mate coming for a service and I need to give Nic's car a right good tidy up after last weekend!

Need to get a new windscreen fitted too

Is that Mr Leigh's?

I've got more bloody tyres than I can shake a stick at! Slicks, A048's, T1R's and wets! I need more rims now

That's him! He did a couple with you in the NWSCC didn't he, before stuffing it! Lol

My other mate Dobbo raced with you too, have you seen his RX in Lightning McQueen guise?

106maxi · 6th September 2012, 19:46

It's the best thing I've ever seen!
A lasting memory for me is Dobbo lapping me at Anglesey, around the outside.........sideways! Ace!

Sorry for hijacking the thread Alan

106maxi · 6th September 2012, 20:23

Yeah I've seen it.

Alanapone^p · 6th September 2012, 21:16

No worries Pete.

Thats ACE!!!!! I want to see him racing with the eyes on it still! hahaha

Mike, You want to shift any tyres for cheap let me know

Really looking forward to getting on with these tyres! Hoping to have the car roadworthy so I can drive it there and back too. Will work out cheaper than renting a transporter now I got a decent quote on the insurance!!

106maxi · 7th September 2012, 18:57

I'm about to change my A048's ;-)

vtectransplant · 15th September 2012, 18:07

Just seen on the 106 Rallye forum that you 106Maxi/Mike have mustered up a few 106 boys to this.....

Im definately coming and will be blagging pax rides if thats ok chaps!

rorz_vts · 15th September 2012, 18:32

That rx is awesome really looks the part

vtectransplant · 15th September 2012, 18:39

Check out this vid from Silverstone this year. Commentator is a bit of a gump but hey....

The two Skylines are running around 700-800bhp and the Monaro is a beast too! My mates RX is ONLY 450 at the wheels....lol

Alanapone^p · 18th September 2012, 21:58

Just checked the site and the event is now FULL.

Theirs going to be some tasty cars their including an R8!! Would be well funny if the guys too scared to drive it hard and we all overtake him lol.

Really looking forward to the day. Cars getting their slowly but surely as well.

rorz_vts · 18th September 2012, 23:25

Or he crashes trying to race you

Alanapone^p · 29th October 2012, 21:14

All ready to go now

106maxi · 30th October 2012, 18:04

Loaded up on the trailer. Just need to load the van now.

Alanapone^p · 30th October 2012, 19:45

Everything is ready to go in the car in the morning. Can't stop at my ma's tonight due to my sister moving back in!!

Mike, i'll be stopping for a butty at cliff's van up from yours at about 0715 if your passing then

I don't THINK I've forgotten owt... apart from the forms, our printer has died but i'm sure they'll have some there.

See you all in the morning.
