Gah! I'm working this weekend, though I'd probably have tagged along to the JKM meet if I was free.

Well probs wont have anything more done to be honest, was just seeing if anyone was up for it..

I went down to York yesterday for one of their own RWYB days but the place is a joke, messy, full of scum bags and the track looked terrible!

Anyways I didnt bother running, so fancied another go lol..

Need to do a track day at some point though!

Yeah I noticed there was a meet on yesterday. Seen a few vids of a quick Corsa (silver one) going up the strip. Use to go there years ago in my CTR, but like you say it's a $hit hole to be fair..

Im down at bedford autodrome trackday, sadly my clutch still isnt done so i wont be running. The minis have it all to themselves along with 2 ed30's.
Fastismycopilot and neilm are joining them :driver:.
I think there are still places if anyone wants to go and its £199 open pit lane all day. Track tuition is also available. Im going down with my mate in his m3 csl but not sure if hes running or not.
They also allow passenger rides which costs around £10 as long as the driver doesnt mind.
I will be going in a few of the stripped minis :jumpmove:

Must admit I do fancy a blast round Bedford (when I am on the road again). Still not done a proper track day yet and bedford sounds like a good place to start as plenty of runoff if things go tits up..  :grin:
I see you have swapped the Milltek for a Blueflame now mate, much difference in sound performance etc?

Title: Re: Sat 18th - Run What Ya Brung (Santa Pod)
Post by: luca on April 14, 2009, 04:08:14 pm

Sound wise its louder and pops and bangs more :evilgrin:, but is quiter on the motorway than the non res milltek. I dont understand how but it is :signLOL:
On the perfomance part, im not sure as ive turned mine down to boost 6 timing 5 fuel 9 until the clutch is done. As soon as its out the way i'll turn it back up and see if there is any difference.
The pipework has less bends than the milltek and is 3" all the way so may get a bit more top end power.
Come and watch if your off ben :happy2:
