I obviously want to :nod:
But with the money I've already spent this year on car related stuff and the rebuild in october, if I do go it will be a last minute booking :thumbs:
Might do, but I'm not sure if I'll have a trackable car in November...
Doh, already pre-booked for that weekend :)
hmmmmm tempted... that will be a month after my racing tuition too :p
Me me me! Let me know when youve booked Kev :)
:whip: Come on your slacking :smash:
LOL @ Bren.
Car booked for Cadwell - 700bhp S14a :smash:
bit wishfull thinking that, doubt you'll even have the chassis prepped, and even if it was ready I've booked snow :nod: as it was too easy in the rainstorm and fog :ghey:
If you want, i can come and take some pictures for you guys.
Dont really think the 1.6 Toyota is up to the track :no:
Car booked for Cadwell - 700bhp S14a :smash:
No way it will be down for Cadwell, not a chance :no: Ann and I are off next week and will spend a couple of days completely stripping everything off the car except the parts needed to keep it rolling :) then we can start on the seam wleding, then onto the proper weld in cage, then to the body shop.
In the meantime Ill keep gathering the parts ready for when the shells finished. Its going to take ages though :(
No way it will be down for Cadwell, not a chance :no:

Hi guys, you'll be having some company from us over at FCCUK :thumbs:
I've decided to knock the Donnington idea on the head until next year.
Here's the thread - Cadwell (http://www.fccuk.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=496623&an=0&page=0#496623)
Oh, and if you'd like we can share the free instructor with you too. :cool:
Top News Dave, dont be passing me though, its my birthday trackday.
Sorry, didnt think to drop a thread on your forum, you'll notice theres a sticky thread which I keep all the trackday booking up to date on in this section.
Sig has a link to a 20mb vid from the last time at Cadwell.
Also - plans are afoot for some sprinting next year, hopefully we can do some common events.

No, I wanted some luxuries, so I have the full fat 172, with no mods.
Yes, I saw the vid, the Saxo didn't really get away from you though mate, and at least you kept it safe. :)
Dr Bob and SteA thinking about it.
It would be my first trackday with my new engine, brakes etc :nod: so it would be nice to compare while cadwell is still fresh in my mind :p
And I do really like cadwell. Practically I will have to hope for last minute places left as the car will only be finished 3 weeks before that and you know what its like relying on big jobs being finished on time :wack: if all goes to plan the engine will just be ran in with a teeny weeny bit of unnecessary driving :D wont be mapped to any where near its full advantage but hey ho.
And it would be so nice to have more cars to play with that can still drive quickly in the wet, it looks like the fiat boys have some nice cars coming..... as you never know the weather might be a bit off :wack:
Dave, why no coupe? Although the clio will be fun ;)

Dave, why no coupe? Although the clio will be fun
I have a business www.aqualifeleasing.co.uk :Plug: , alongside which i've been working full time as a team trainer for Virgin Mobile. Basically, i'd had enough of working 7 days a week for years, and gave my job up full time. I knew that this would be a big hit financially and i'd have had to resort to abusing the platic if something big failed on the Coupe.
My fiance also had a Golf TDi, so we decided it best to sell both cars and get a lower mileage hot hatch. :( It's not my cup of team but it is quite fun, and in another year or two I hope to back in another Coupe or better (NOT an SX :p ;) ).
Still, the car went out in style - a SELOC sprint, followed the next day by a 2800 mile Europe trip to Monaco, Alps, Italy, Lake Garda (where I then proposed), Stelvio, Austria, Autobahns ;) , Nurburgring and then home.
The car is now owned by another enthusiast on the forum which i'm happy about.
I said the other day I was going to do this, but I've decided to book the non open session Elvington day (October 1st) instead as it will be my first track day.

That's probably a sensible choice, just watch out for tyre wear! :eek: :(

Click on the corners for a circuit guide (found by the fiat boys :thumbs: )
Example ....
Between Mansfield and Mountain the track kinks to the left, if you've negotiated Mansfield correctly you should be able to straight line to the Mountain and again overtake people here.
Turn in as late as possible as the track goes left and uphill for the start of the Mountain aim to be over to the left hand side in readiness for the right-hander. Clip the right hand apex and head towards the brow of the mountain. Try to be at the mid-point of the track so you can straight line over the summit. Drive hard and keep over to your left and be prepared to turn in to the right just after you pass the paddock entrance

What about Jez? Big tone? Wallers? full metal gasket? Kuddy? can't think of many more :(
Theres a local guy on the Fiat Forum who knew some B&B - maybe PM/ask him.
Or speak to Steve@EMS or any of the grimsby posse.
My house is a hovel, and the wong side of the country, you would have to be desperate but ......
Jez, its too far for his loud car, and he is a little bit :ghey: :p
Tone - Dunno?
Wallers? Dunno?
Tim? - To far and to skint although he is maybe persudeable he fancies the course.
Kuddy - :ghey: ness of the highest order means no trackaction at all for him this year :wave:
So list is (+ Mono Phil)

Im a little put off by the narrowness of the track and the close proximity of those nasty barriers and walls ! :eek: Oh and torrential rain ;)
I would love to go but feel I need some practice in the car before getting involved with this kind of stuff :nod: Another write of in the next 2yrs will kill my NCB & put my performance car ownership back for 4years :( Not a risk I fancy taking with a 6k car.
Maybe I should buy an old S12/S13 for trackdays :D
archenemy.co.uk
07-09-2005, 13:54
No chance of killing the NCB as track driving isn't covered under your insurance :smash:
BTW My mate Duncan has booked in with his Pimp White M535 with the Black leather and dished BBSs :smitten: he's an honourary 200sx for the day :nod:

:furious: :censored: :whip: ;)
I've never had any problems with my Coop in all the trackdays and sprints i've done. They are good and reliable even as standard as long as you don't go made and do too many hot laps in a row. Mine was fine at the Ring, having just covered 2500 miles round Europe in the previous week (waits for Kev to bash on about how many laps in a row he does :sleep: :p ).
I might take the clio though :rolleyes: :D

Whats getting too hot? brakes? oil?
Thanks for the Link Kev :thumbs:

Well shopping trollies arent designed for the track, and most coupe owners arms get to tired after 3 laps, very limp wristed as a rule :ghey:
they overheat the brakes Phil, which is odd as they have huge Brembo's on, maybe its lack of decent pads although pretty sure I've seen Ferado DS2500 for the Fiats and Pagid Blues.
The Fiat guys are into Padgid Blues arent they?
What Clio is it?
Nice :)
Both our S13 and S14 should be done for the track day :)

I thought only the runout SE 20vTs had the Brembos on the front something like 302mm
Booked and confirmed. Now this will MAKE me get my oil cooler fitted.See you soon Bren for the hoses.
Still not fitted? Wasnt it last November I was going to help you :eek:

I'm interested Kev, can more than one person drive the same car? Me and two mates are building a Mk1 MR2 track car, so we'd like to run that :)
Raz
Edit: Just searched through their site, it says a max of 2 drivers per car :( I'll have to chat with my mates and see what they want to do.
I haven't been to Cadwell since I put my CBR6 end over end coming out of the Gooseneck, 2 years ago :eek: Awesome track!
If you speak to Jonny5 nicely he may allow 3 drivers of the same car, you can have 2 drivers for no extra charge, often on trackdays it can be £25-£50 for a second driver, but not with Book-a-Track :D

Thanks for the Link Kev :thumbs:
No! :rolleyes: By 'hot' laps I meant very fast laps! i.e as long as the Coop boys are sensible and don't do too many fast laps in a row, their cars should be fine. If their cars are sensibly modded, they will be fine to do as many laps as they want. As standard, the front brakes (too much heat) and small intercooler are the biggest weakness in the set up.
All 20VTs had Brembo calipers and the same size discs, just on the later plus models they were painted red.
Yes, Pagids have been excellent on our cars, i've never had any fade using blues or greys. :cool:
think Trickle has now booked for Cadwell too :)

I could have sworn you'd said combe on MSN!???? :wack:
Erm, Cadwell is one of those tracks I really Really want to do, but due to distance and location I'm not sure I can manage it :(
There's no way I'll be driving all the way there, doing the track time and then going home again in the same day :wack:
And there's the endless problem with my finances :smash:
I may make it - failing that I'm still intending on a proper trackday oop north early next year.
Nah, sure i said Cadwell, but well, Hmmm, I knew you fancied the track.
I'm sure you could get somewhere to stay, you probably wouldnt want to crash at mine :wack: its a hole*, but the offer is there.

You live a few hours from there aswell though don't you?
I suspect that due to distance this may well be a no go for me.
I can't be sure until after Haynes anyway......

Fishy Dave (FCC organiser) went last week in his Clio, on a special renault day, here is his vid
http://www.aqualifeleasing.co.uk/images/Cadwell%20Renaultbb.wmv
and report ...
What a great day for me, my first Renault trackday and of course my first visit to Cadwell.
Cadwell has now become my favourite circuit, can't wait to go back there next month and get some more practise. The mountain and gooseneck are excellent, the feeling of drift and and wheels going light beneath you is not something you experience on many tracks (that i've been on). You guys will love it, the Coupe will be getting it's wheels off the floor over the mountain, the Clio V6s were able to spin their rear wheels, as well as us spinning the fronts.
Excellent supervision throughout from the motorsport vision guys and friendly, efficient organisation from the Renault guys and gals. I've said it before, but i'm still pleasantly surprised at having a manufacturer get involved in this kind of activity - IMO this is a great way to ensure brand loyalty. Just a shame that Fiat don't do this :(
This was my first outing on track for me in the 172, and I soon found it to be an excellent handling car, with great on limit habits. Only problem I had was with the brakes - standard pads are not upto more than 3 hard laps before getting major fade, which nearly ended in tears at the hairpin!(I should listen to my own advice about the amount of hot laps!) Best part of the day for me was chasing the a black 182 and V6 for 3 laps, I had to drive stupidly hard to keep them in sight, and could stick with them for some sections, but would lose out on the longer straights, and not be able to claw the gap back. It was good to see that on this track the performance of the V6 and 182s was very similar.
Here is a short video I put together, including a lap from different angles. You will notice that some of my lines leave a bit to be desired, but they did get better later on, honest! [;)]
Right Click, Save As (http://www.aqualifeleasing.co.uk/images/Cadwell%20Renaultbb.wmv)
I would echo what has been said before about it being well worth the time to travel to this circuit - I live in Somerset, and had a 5 1/2 hour journey each way (inc. stops)! It's taken me until today to recover!
I was really impressed with the cars brought along by Renault for us to drive. I sooo wanted to drive the Spider, but it's a show car and no-one was allowed to drive it :(. I also ran out of time to drive the Megane Trophy which was really flying, i'm beginning to really like these.
It is a narrow track, but no-one had any accidents, and only about 2 offs on the grass AFAIK. My best advice would be to really take it easy through Hall bends, they are both difficult and dangerous. The rest of the track, go for it! :evil: ;)
p.s i'm going to take the Coupe, should make for a good comparison.
:)
:thumbs: really looking forward to letting the 200 loose at Cadwell. will have new pads on too as mine are finally lunched following last saturday :)
should be a cracking day. is it worth posting in regional sections that passenger rides will be available?

I've run into problems with the hose replacement now (sheared a stud off the turbo elbow and can't remove the downpipe :rant: ) and will need a garage to help sort it out and replace the stud.
I'm not giving up hope but it looks even less likely I can afford to make this :(

Nah, it will be fine, max 24 cars on the track at any time, BAT enforce considerate driving, it will be good fun :D
Right, the MR2's not going to be ready for this sadly, and the S13's off the road at the moment as well, so I might just come along and video the day.
Any chance of a passenger ride with somebody? :D
Raz
Yup, plenty of people will be giving passengers rides, another advantage of BAT trackdays, free passengers :D

Oh well SteA had already said his car wasnt going to be ready, almost convinced Grahham(TopGearNW) to go once we had fitted an oil cooler to his car so thats out the window.
I've loads to do before I'm ready, refit turbo after tightening all 4 turbine bolts, not just 2 that I could get to, fit wide wing sump and ........ :annoyed: been non-stop bodging these last 6 weeks and its still not sorted :annoyed:

My list of jobs
Cooling ducts to brakes
change brake fluid
Cooling ducting to FMIC
Fit replacement hot side pipe
Change turbo hoses for braided items
iron out bugs in RLTC
finish refurbing rims and fit tyres
:wack:
Why are you fitting a new sump Kev - because you run slicks now? problesm? precaution?
RE: SUMP, precaution due to running slicks, and as Apex Test Bed, its a Apex Wide Wing Sump, hope Bren didnt want it a secret :wack:
I've also got some brake ducts half-made :nod:
archenemy.co.uk
18-10-2005, 14:11
I've thought about a sump before but they were too expensive :( cheaper on could be good :)
Any tips on the ducts would be good :thumbs:
I've got guttering end soffets (sp??) which fit well into the bumper, and have a 80(?)mm outlet just need to find some suitable tubing, Demon Tweaks have full brake ducts sets at ~ £40. I'm aiming for half that, but with 10X more hassle :wack:
£195 is a lot for a GReddy sump.
I might also take Vez's advise and get some fuel tank foam, again, its fecking expensive for what it is, also available from Demon Tweaks.
Also ... I'll need my subframe inserts doing before Cadwell, lots of tramping last time, but another long job :( got the inserts though :D
I need to do an oil change.....
errrr...
may be do the brake fuild too....
May be hunt some more rubber
RE: SUMP, precaution due to running slicks, and as Apex Test Bed, its a Apex Wide Wing Sump, hope Bren didnt want it a secret :wack:
I've also got some brake ducts half-made :nod:
Its not an Apex product yet, not until its proven :no:
Sorry, I did say it was a prototype :nod:

Also ... I'll need my subframe inserts doing before Cadwell, lots of tramping last time, but another long job :( got the inserts though :D
Putting my subframe back on today, having cleaned it off and undersealed it
Getting it off is not such a big deal - disconnect prop, remove calipers & handbrake cables, undo struts, disconnect all the fiddly wires :mad: disconnect breather :rolleyes: disconnect and take off diff oil cooler (did this last week) remove ABS sensor, disconnect earth strap
Remove subframe :)
nOOb mod, didnt quite split as planned :wack:
Anyway - all keep your eyes peeled.
RE: SUMP, precaution due to running slicks, and as Apex Test Bed, its a Apex Wide Wing Sump, hope Bren didnt want it a secret :wack:
:D inside information
I've got loads of flexible two inch plastic pipe (electric conduit from the recent street light upgrade around mine), that I can fetch to Cadwell if you lot want some. I'm going to put some on mine :nod: I've already used it for my cold air feeds and its spot on :thumbs:
archenemy.co.uk
19-10-2005, 09:09
:eek:
Might have to put up with axle tramp :wack: I dont need to take it off to fit my inserts though, I think :confused:
If you're talking about bushes, either solid ones or the powerflex type, you need to burn and hack out the old ones - not something you can do with the subframe on the car.
If its pineapples thats easy enough :)
Theyre Powerflex inserts that we had to hack about to get to fit but they work :)
How to will it take me to fit them Bren?
It can be done on the car right?
They would have been on the S14 last time you were at Cadwell so deserve a return trip.
Not long and no, yes, they can be fitted in situ. :)

Is 2" the internal diameter?
I need something before the day, Off to B&Q for me :D
I couldnt find any suitable at B&Q warehouse, all the ducting was the wrong size, actually so the stuff KevC has, thats where I got the guttering though, perfect fit to the S14a side intakes on the bumper.

I presume you meant to quote my brake duct thingy.
I'll have 8 foot of that piping please :thumbs: 3 foot per side + 2 foot cold air feed for intake :D
I'll fetch it with me :thumbs:

:( My new IC won't be ready in time, so i'll be stuck with the dire standard Coupe IC, limiting me really to no more than .8 or .9 bar safely. Oh well. I can't even hope it's wet as i have semi slicks on, so will end up taking the Clio in that eventuality.
Dave, sort that huge white blank bit in your sig ;) cheers
Right, we can now get 10-day weather, not looking good :( might have to order some new tyres as the slicks are staying at home at this rate :cry:

Kev if you're stuck two of my track wheels are wearing AVS Sports with lots of tread. if it's very wet i'll probably be running on the F1s anyway :)
Rubber... rubber WITH tread! Hummmmm.
why is it just my posts I fecked up :wack:
Our S13s down with Gary having a new plenum, larger throttle body, ARP head stud and nuts, nitrous, a remap (with and without nitrous) and full race alignment.
Its going to be set up for dry and slicks.
If it rains then Im going to have real problems. Unless it REALLY rains in which case Ill be able to use my race wets :D
I was looking at race wets, only £52+vat each As I have plenty of wheels I though of investing in some for next year.
A week to go, just off to pick up some more slicks, forecast is still for it to piss it down :rolleyes:

Our event at Cadwell Park on Sunday 6th November is now full. We are offering all attendees (both confirmed and reserve) the opportunity to transfer to either Donington Park on the 5th or Rockingham on the 13th November for no additional charge (usually £165).
I hope nobody is thinking of dropping out, however tempting Donnington sounds ;)
archenemy.co.uk
30-10-2005, 15:18
Hmm Donnington sounds good Kev :) and Rockingham is way nearer me :(
I'm prob going to go to Donnington if the weather looks good - theres not many people booked at the mometn so no need to book until later. Hopefully get a better idea of what the weather will be like.

I'd be prepared to change but I'm also going for a bit of 200 get together and Fiats :)
Will it rain on Donnington on Saturday Kev?

just spotted this on the Bookatrack homepage
Bookatrack Expand Fleet with Chinook
Bookatrack have once again shown a clean pair of heels to their rivals by adding a chinook to their fleet. The twin-rotor aircraft - more commonly seen in CNN footage - will be used to transport cars quickly to and from venues in the cargo hold.
Furthermore, track stoppages will now be more quickly resolved by using a harness and lifting the offending car out of the way.
For added spectacle, track punters can also choose to specify a "hot drop" option when booking their trackday. For a fee, trackcars can be dropped from the moving helicopter onto the pit straight.
For 2006 an Apache gunship helicopter is being considered as a modern alternative to finally replace the traditional jerry can and matches system currently in place.
:wack:
The only reason I'm not going to Cadwell is that its chuffing miles away for me :(

No garage :no: with this large of a group we should be able to watch each others stuff int he car park. Me and SteA tend to lock/chain our spare wheels in a pile, with the chains also locked together (means we can each get at our wheels witrhout the other person but they are locked together).

Forms are "I wont blame BAT if I die in somebodies car on track" forms for passengers :nod:
Our box wont be ready :( Quaifes 3 week lead time seems to be very elastic :rolleyes:
I dont suppose anyone could take a set of rims for us could they? Im hoping Gary will be taking the S13 to Cadwell so we will just drive it home and take the Jag but I cant fit a set of rims with slicks in it :no: It seems a joke to have to take the Omega as well just to carry some wheels.

And i cant from his description either. Unless it a keyring for people who like to keep the keys attached to their wrist :wack:
WTF IS IT?
The clue, Yak, is in the words 'keyring thing'. Its a keyring :wack: :rolleyes: :p
So whats the feck up is sending out free keyrings... given ive not seen one. :confused:
I didnt introduce keyrings into the conversation, you did :)
Ah, sorry, I know what you mean. When I said the clues in the word 'keyring' I meant the clue as to what the keyring thing is, not the clue to the prize.
Im sure im leeding me self down the wrong path here....

I sent a list of all the guys who have booked through FCCUK and SXOC to Jonny at BookaTrack, and have had the following reply -
Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
David,
Thanks for the list. The deal was to include a free session of instruction so this would be a 20 min session for the main drivers only. Unforunately our instructors won't do any less than 20 min sessions (especially at Cadwell - a very technical circuit!).
If some of the 2nd drivers are also going to want instruction let me know as we'll need to get a 3rd ARDS instructor there on the day.
Kind regards & thanks again for the bookings,
Jonny Leroux
BookaTrack.com Ltd
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, a shame we can't split the instructor time, but i'm happy we got 20 minutes though.
I will give mine to my Dad probably!
Hi Fishy Dave,
top man for getting the free instuction sorted :thumbs: Are you going to make a schedule out for the times of instruction for everyone. If not it will end up in organized chaos if it's left to being sorted on the day.
Thats excellent Dave, Top man :thumbs: Not that i need 20 mins free instrction of course :p .
more like a full day :o
Who gets free instruction? We cant all be up for it surely?
Yes Bren, all main drivers, that was the excellent deal Dave got us :D worth £20/person :D It been worth it for BAT to, as it was so full in winter ;)

:cry: I knew I should have ordered some road tyres in case it was wet :cry: Even if I couldnt really afford them :wack:
Ive just sold the Ultralites with the T1Rs so I have no road tyres worth mentioning. Only a set of ZZ3s and Id rather run on slicks :wack:
This will be fun, I think Ill have to commandeer the Jag and let Ann run the S13 :D

Crap thats a good point. Ive not looked up how to get there yet! :wack:
It usually takes us 2 hours :)
Yeah but i know what you drive like. :p Dont think ill be getting there in 2
It only takes us a couple of hours even when we are towing a trailer with a car on it :nod: :)
its ~1.5 hours from Ferrybridge, M18, M180 and turn right at the end for 40mins of A roads.

I'm right in thinking you are spectating only :confused: otherwise a lift doesn't make much sense :wack:
I only live 30 mins away so i'll just pop up to have a gander!
See you all there
What tyre ware rates do people get in the wet? Does it depend alot on how wet it is? Dont really want to do too much damage to my rear eagle F1's, but wouldnt want to put my remaining track tyres on in the wet.
Will have to suck it and see I guess.
Fishy Dave
03-11-2005, 18:21
Don't worry about a running order for the instructor sessions, Bookatrack will have that arranged for us. :cool:
Re. tyre wear, I did a full day at Cadwell last month in the dry, and can't have lost much more than 2mm of tread, even on the front left which took the most punishment. It may be different for you guys in your drift wagons though :p
stumitch
03-11-2005, 18:41
its ~1.5 hours from Ferrybridge, M18, M180 and turn right at the end for 40mins of A roads.
What time do you think you'll be at the turn off for the A roads ?? Me and Steve EMS will be coming and will follow you guys down as we'll be coming from Grimsby/Hull :)
Unsure Stumitch, to be honest I dont mind phoning when I'm on the M180 but drivers have to be there for 8-15 ish, but dont really want to be stopping & waiting for convoyers along the route, it all adds to the time and its an early enough setoff as it is, I need every 10mins.
I'd turn up after 9 if I was you anyway.
In the wet your tyres wont wear, in the dry it depends how hard you push, the more you push the more wear you'll get.

We will be going down the A16 out of Grim through Holten Le Clay, and on through Past Louth and into Cadwell, 25 mins from me :D :D
Kev,
M180/A18 route is the quicker. Watch out for the gatso after Louth roundabouts ust before the Cadwell/Horncastle turn off, it is well hidden.
Kev,
M180/A18 route is the quicker.
Thats what I said isnt it :confused:

Where you staying Bob?
Where you staying Bob?
in the Premier Travelinn. can't remember the address off the top of my head.
weather forecast is light rain all day tomorrow :(
that might equate to very greasy track conditions if there's not much standing water. take care folks :) it'll certainly be interesting
Its been raining a lot recently so the track should at least be nice and clean :)
Aye, raining now too. Hate working on the car when soggy. :( How I wish I had a garage... and cant even get on my drive as there is a panda in bits, washing machine, dutton and rover v8 sitting on it!
Its dry here at the moment, we were going to wash and vac the Jag but its not looking good if its raining where you are :(
