Title: Castle Combe track day next week
Post by: Mr Spiller on May 31, 2020, 09:42:31 PM: Given the time spare and boredom i thought its time for a spanner check
Donâ€™t normally do this - looks like I need to more often
Top front rear NS suspension bolt loose .
Tighten with thread lock
OS same arm - japspeed (or crapspeed I been told )
Joint is toast , so change both back to standard RX8 ones
Front next , changed old pads , very old pads (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200531/b2aa7bd10d4353de7c8ce2edceadddc1.jpg)

Very worn
Then spanner check on the front
Only the lord knows how long Iâ€™ve been missing this bolt

Ah well

Post by: boosted on June 06, 2020, 10:39:46 PM: I clipped 1...massive shockwave through car..if you went over them i can see suspension damage or a punctured shock tower.
There on the apexes of esseses and bobbies...so no cutting apexes...
In all fairness there after the red white chevrons so theyd pull you up on circuits limits in a race...
But the esseses 1 is close on the run through.
Ill post my vid tomoz you can see where they are gert big yellow rumble strips.

I like them tyres
I will send you a pm in the morning
As Jon will tell you , they are harsh , basically bolt down ramps they put on roads
Thankfully they are on the inner apex not the outter ones

Post by: boosted on June 07, 2020, 03:13:14 PM: Yeah. But...if you buzz tyres on entrance to esseses quite easy to clip them as i did...4 track days in civic ive smashed 2 mirrors on em....and a westy into them...
