I'm there with trackdays.co.uk / javelin... anyone else?

daniel mason - 10/6/13 at 07:41 PM

noise limits are too strict for me unfortunately!

yellowcab - 10/6/13 at 07:50 PM

LOL I've not even seen what they are, having lived about 2 miles away from Mallory for years - I always don't think they have noise limits, as they sound like they're hooning down my street lol

daniel mason - 10/6/13 at 08:40 PM

95db i think now. it will be hard to pass as some cars struggle with 105db limits!
the difference between 95 and 105 db is quite a lot!

yellowcab - 10/6/13 at 08:44 PM

Ahhhh might be a waste of time for me then!!!

daniel mason - 10/6/13 at 09:27 PM

id turn the exhaust outlet so it points under the car! at least then he wont get his meter close enough

ReMan - 10/6/13 at 10:16 PM

You can lend my very quiet silencer if you want matye :-=)

Colin that'd be fantastic if you don't mind???

ReMan - 10/6/13 at 10:26 PM

Like this

Might kill the performance a bit, but adds to your options to get a run rather than not?

At the ppc event there a few weeks ago it was 94DB, and many failed.

Well I have a standard Aprillia RSV Mille exhaust can, so hoping that its plenty quiet enough being a standard road bike can...

I have an standard Busa airbox on my bodies too...

I'll be there, either in my Mac1, Exige or Clio Rs200 dependant on weather!

Mac hopefully as its my recently bought track tool.

Come and say hi, I see your local ish

Bruce

yellowcab - 14/6/13 at 02:30 PM

Nice one Bruce - can't find any photos of your car - but mine looks like that thing over there

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Chalkey - 14/6/13 at 03:22 PM

Fingers crossed for nice weather tomorrow!

yellowcab - 14/6/13 at 04:03 PM

I only live a couple of miles away, its currently blue skies and sunshine lol

What colour is your Mac1 Bruce?

Chalkey - 14/6/13 at 04:55 PM

It's a blue one ;-)

I'll be fine tuning the flatshifter tomorrow. I've been to mallory 5 times in the last year and get bored after 20 laps!

Handy because its local though!

yellowcab - 14/6/13 at 05:15 PM

Glad its not just me that gets bored... what engine is yours?

Maybe we can keep ourselves occupied by going out together get some decent GoPro footage

Chalkey - 14/6/13 at 05:27 PM

Funny, ive just plugged my gopro in to charge !

Blueprinted zx10r engine in mine

yellowcab - 14/6/13 at 05:41 PM

Ahhhh I won't keep up then!

Chalkey - 14/6/13 at 08:49 PM

I think you'll have more than enough poke with a busa!

yellowcab - 14/6/13 at 09:25 PM

All set Bruce?

Chalkey - 14/6/13 at 09:42 PM

Yes, ready to rock and roll!

A nice bacon sandwich in the morning and I'm good to go!

See you tomorrow

Chalkey - 15/6/13 at 12:37 PM

Everything ok?

I saw you have a little spin behind me...

I left at lunchtime but still managed to get soaked in a hail storm on the way home!

yellowcab - 15/6/13 at 03:18 PM

That'll teach me to try and keep up with you! Got it on the GoPro footage too...

I had a few offs, but generally had a great day... hope you did too?

You got much footage?

Footage er! Left my gopro in the office doh!

I was enjoying our little ding dong, I caught you up quite a way then hit traffic, caught you up again then traffic, you pulled away then you kindly let me past, after which I saw a spinning mk in my rear view mirror!

I had a few pant soiling moments myself!

Donny in a few weeks for me if you fancy it?

I'd be interested in seeing the 'oh my god' moment you had....

:-)

yellowcab - 15/6/13 at 05:43 PM

Ohhhhh Donington... now you're talking! my fave...

For me, I feel I need two sets of wheels, a wet set, and dry set... only having had 888s today - in the wet it was rather... well... you can imagine!

Whats the gen on Donny? When? Who with?

Chalkey - 15/6/13 at 06:55 PM

I only have two sets of r888s on tdynamics rims, one set barely road legal. I was thinking today about a wet set but I'd rather slow down a little on the 888 or not bother going out at all!!!

Donny is 10th July evening with book a track (a very good tda) only £135. If you fancy it we can drive there together

Blyton Sunday 21st is tempting as well...

Chalkey - 15/6/13 at 06:58 PM

Oh and Bedford 27th looks good, fairly local, easy to get to, strict on noise though from what I've heard. Not been before

yellowcab - 15/6/13 at 07:10 PM

Been to Bedford twice, in two seperate cars - and got thrown off within the first few laps lol - I'm not doing that again...

I'm just uploading the my off behind you to YouTube now, I'll post the link once its up... the two laps before you made an appearance were my fastest laps of the day at 54.9s according to the Go Pro footage, then I was due to come into the pits and heard you come flying by... which encouraged me to come back out to play... lol

10th July sounds good to me, just need to check I have enough Wife Points that she'll let me go you on Facebook? u2u me...

Chalkey - 15/6/13 at 07:28 PM

No I'm not on Facebook, donny will be good, go on go on go on!!!!

How was the weather in the afternoon? Not sure whether I made the right/wrong decision leaving early...

Proby - 15/6/13 at 07:32 PM

That is one quick little 205! Stonking the way it pulls away through Gerrards towards the end of the video. Looked great fun!

yellowcab - 15/6/13 at 08:42 PM

Bruce the weather was horrendous after lunch really... so quite annoying that I had only got 888s with me lol

Just chatting to the bread knife now about Donington... I'm sure I'll go... just would prefer to get some decent tyres to do it on!

You'll be fine with just 888s, it won't rain, honest, this is England!!!

I've watched your vids, you carry good speed, car looks very poised. Do you find it more comfortable to drive with just one hand on the steering wheel?

yellowcab - 15/6/13 at 09:42 PM

Yes always have done strangely lol

I only tend to use both hands at the hairpin

It was actually very skittish, needs setting up really as its only been done by eye with two axel stands and a piece of string!

Lack of traction really pissed me off around Gerrards, I could accelerate much more without under steering towards the outside of the circuit...

How did yours feel? Did you like the way I dived back out of the pits to come and get ya? lol

Chalkey - 15/6/13 at 09:58 PM

Ha ha yes, I originally thought you just let me passed so you could have a run behind, I didn't realise you we're driving into paddock

First time on track with my newly purchased mac1 so i was pretty cautious. My friend who previously owned the car modified and set it up, it's very quick in the right hands. I have a long way to go to do it justice!

There's not much that will make my mac faster (apart from a turbo!), it already has all of the right 'go fast' gear on so it's upto me to swallow brave pills and man up!

It has an incredible spec so full credit to the guys that set it up!

daveb666 - 17/6/13 at 11:50 AM

Olly and Chalkey; I have pics of both your cars which I'll post tomorrow

Ah BigRich, I've read a lot of threads with info about my car, I even found a magazine feature. You did a very good job of putting it together - I love the exhausts! - what a brilliant idea!

It has changed quite a bit since you built it and is now a devastating track car!

There is a blueprinted engine in now.. I broke the gearbox in the old engine which is now waiting to be repaired so i'll have a spare engine when its fixed.

Top job fella, I love the car!

yellowcab - 19/6/13 at 09:17 PM

Some more shots from the trackday...
