Track Day November 2012 Snetterton

  • Nov 6th. 2012
  • By

After the remaining modifications were carried out during August and September, November was the ideal opportunity to get back out on track; Saturday 3rd.

The changes for the latter half of the year consisted interior improvement, suspension alteration and rear brake improvement. The interior changes have seen the addition of the Safety Devices rear half cage, Sabelt 4-point harnesses and Recaro Pole Position seats to help with stiffening the vehicle’s shell and improving driver comfort. The extra suspension improvements include a damper change to Bilstein B8 spec which were fitted with new DAP lower, stiffer ‘Race’ spec springs and the rear brakes have been replaced with a vented and grooved 292mm kit, which will help with preventing the rear end going light under extreme braking.

A cool, and on occasion wet November day was the ideal chance to test out the car again and see what a difference the changes have made. The most noticeable changes to the chassis have come from the new dampers and springs improving the handling and road holding, but matched to this is the reduction in flex in the chassis due to the roll cage; the chassis is much stiffer which has helped with turn-in and the new seats and harnesses are not only more comfortable but as a driver you are held more securely with no movement, unlike factory seats and 3 point road seat belts.

Track Evening July 2012 Snetterton

  • Jul 30th. 2012
  • By

The first track outing for the car was Thursday 26 July 2012; a track evening at Snetterton on the 300 circuit. The majority of the changes had been made to the car namely the Intercooler rework, addition of the Pro Alloy water radiator, turbo rework to K06 specification, the front brakes have been enlarged to 356mm, additional front brake cooling added and the front suspension bushes upgraded. The car has also had a 4 wheel chassis alignment carried out. The car ran on factory dampers with DAP road springs and the standard front seats and 3 point seat belts were still fitted along with the factory spec 278mm rear brakes.

This was an ideal opportunity to give the car a shake down and see how it performed, prior to further modification work.

The car performed faultlessly over the sessions run, it was a hot sunny July afternoon with the ambient air temperature at around 24 degrees C. Despite the heat coolant an inlet air temperatures were kept well under control and the front brakes were superb, offering excellent stopping ability. Looking forward to the next track day and the future mods.
