Fun on track

[Christopher]

Had a excellent time at Brands Hatch indy circuit today.
As I have not been on track for over three years the first few laps were a bit daunting. But by the 10th lap or so I got the hang of the lines and got smoother and faster lap by lap.
Happy with the cars over all performance. Down the brabham straight I was hitting 128 mph. The FD brakes did there job a hell of a lot better than the stock ones. But the pedal did not have as much feel to them as I would of liked. I think uprating the master cylinder would do the trick.
Would say that druids was the hardest corner for me as I could not get on boost quicker enough while exiting.
But still FB\'d a few 06 plate M3\'s and a R33 GTR
My highlight of the day was drifting pretty much all of Clark Curve at 80/90 mph and not getting blacked flaged

Its a shame I can\'t do the Mazda rotory club track day on the 4th of December as the car will be in the shop having my tubo fitted.

Not very exiting vids but enjoy.

[Ada7]

Looks good fun. Like the flames :p
Gonna try do a track day next year once my car is all sorted out. Never done one before so will be a bit nervous but should be a good laugh

Yeah a FD master will fit. But I am thinking of a wilwood one. And I am pretty sure that Gready do a uprated one for the FD aswell.

Will be doing an other track day very soon. I am going down to RX Motors on saturday because I think I chiped a tooth on the gear box. But the good news is that I can then replace it with a RX8 6 speed :cool

[mpk490p]

[Christopher]

What engine combo you got in your FB??
 
Looks like some fun.. Ive got a FD kit for the front of mine.. i think i need some US spec hubs like marks and some new discs.. will look into it once i get my engine built for the 2nd time in a matter of months!

[Christopher]

Have a TII engine with a half bridge port and RE inlet manifold and plenum. At the moment I have a original turbo but with different bearings and bigger exhaust housing. Will have my T51R SPL BB fitted straight after my cage gets welded in.
I know that FC TII hubs and discs will work with the FD calipers (Front only).

Pete.

[12at]

Do the TII hubs slide onto the FB stub axles? or is there some machining involved to accomodate the FB bearing?

[Christopher]

I have no idea?
Give Tim a ring on 01725 516462. He could tell you.

Good luck with it.

Pete.
