It's crazy the cars that all go to the Green Hell, risking loss and injury on the most dangerous track in the world.
Its just MECCA.  :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Funny, that's the way I described it after my first visit in 2009.
Then I went with some guys that had GTI's and S3's and the hotel parking lot was full of Porsche's plus some other great looking cars (lamborghini). Then at the track again we saw truly amassing cars again.
So, the best was to be different and stand out in the crowd is either to have a Golf or something just as exotic like Veyron or Enzo. Both ways you will be noticed  :grin:.

Well folks, I haven't written here in a while. So, here's what is going on...
I am preparing for another track day at Hungaroring on the 2nd of October.
As I result I changed the intake. Just to remind you, I am keeping the OEM intake because there is a lot of dust in Romania (I actually think there's so much dust that we must be importing it from somewhere). It might not be much but I am really putting the engine to a lot of pressure with these track days so I want to be as safe as I can be (I doubt my engine was intended for a track day car  :innocent:)

Again my car sound like I have 300+ bhp under the bonnet  :grin:.

And today the new pads have arrived. Thanks Dave!
The pads I chose are (once more) Pagid Orange RS 4-4  for the front and Ferodo DS 2500 for the back.



The pads on the rear brakes will be changed only next year because they seem to be quite ok.
The pads on the nqsbbk are changed because I want to bed them in before the track day. I am not sure that the old pads will hold for all the track day so it is better to have another set of pads already bedded in.

After:





As you can the the old one are a little bit "cooked". I wounder how I managed to do that  :innocent:  :evilgrin:.





Thanks for watching!
