subevo track day no. 2

[subevo]

we completed our 2nd track day.
result much better performance due to changing exhaust .its now too fast at the moment.the noise from the new exhaust is excellant.a real. growl
.braking still an issue much better than last time but still an improvement to be had.
still got a high speed wobble and will be changing to adjustable rear arms for next track day as i can clearly see wheels are not true at rear.

problems.gary nearly killed me due to adjusting brake bias.the threaded rod caught on a bolt at 100 plus mph when braking for corner . ie no brakes!!! removed offending bolt after spinning out of control.you need to be brave as garys passenger.

til next time.

Stevies as bad as the wife for nagging, i was fully in control up until i did a 360 at the hairpin,at least i kept it on the tarmac (unlike stevie in one of his unforced errors). The joys of track testing your motor.
You are right though, you do need to be brave to get in the car with me, sometimes my talent is far to far behind my ambition, no painful or expensive crunches yet, so look out we might even get some footage next time

Wicked ;D

Keep the reports and experiences coming. Any chance you could explain why and what were the exhaust changes, was this a result of getting the car setup on a rolling road ?

I know some of the early kits were not fitted with 'Rear Toe Adjusters' but I understand that its now standard as part of the kit.

Can't understand why you haven't fitted a 'Remote Brake Bias Adjuster - Wilwood' (Rally Design Pt-No 340-4990) thought this would be a must for you Guys.

Please don't bend the car or your selves, and get some good stills and video up on the site next time you go out please.
