What a top few laps that was I havent had that much fun on track for ages, and cant wait to get the Pug back out on a track soon. Not sure if i can wait for the Nurburgring trip

Will try and get some more footage up of a few funny moments that me and Si caught on video. Pretty sure I will have Chip spinning the Beemer infront of me out of one of the hairpins, and a couple sideways moments from both me and Si, and no doubt some other stuff too.

 

Looking good bro wish i had booked up and taken the ka

 

brilliant mate. brakes didnt work on the one corner lol
wot a track. your car doesnt hang about mate

 

Impressed at how well the Pug holds you on the straights and anihilates you on the bends

 

 

Wicked mate

 

Im not sure what this means??

Dunno if you're aware, but we are both in 205 mi16s, with the 3 differences being Tiff was on slicks, with big brakes and modded engine. Not excuses, just how it was Considering that, im not too displeased with my my little Pugs performance?

If you knew all that already, then sorry But i just dont understand what you're getting at above

 

Good vid mate! The first vid has me in it so thanks for that!!! Mines the E30 that you pass at the 3 minute mark!

Wondered what was in those 205's they were shifting!

 

 

Sorry Sketch, thought you were in the turbo

 

thought the wee Yug Speed 205 matched the norris one alomst all the way

 

Great stuff Nige, in our defence Sketch weighs about as much as a knats cock and by the looks of his GF shes weighs even less where as me and TIff are somewhat heavier LOL...

TifF- Flame evidence on the long video just after about 2.05.

 

Yug Speed? Is that what it is

To be fair, Tiff was quicker thru all the medium fast bends, his car was clearly sticking to the tarmac much better than mine on the slicks, but down the straights i seemed to be closing in (but we're talking ever so slightly here, maybe cos me and my missus are lighter than Tiff n Shings )

At the end of the day, it was all GREAT fun, good driving (with a couple of mistakes though ) and the cars didnt break!

 

Also



Over taking in bends- theres now video evidence Tiff LOL

Prepare for the back lash LOL





I aint heavey... and he aint my brother.....

 

See my reply under yours mate! Was all good though

And these mi16s do seem to flame a bit, i know mine puts out small blue ones at 7grand+ gearchanges, and my Si's car was putting out cossie style 5 second long flames at times too

 

my mate used to run an 205 mi with twin 45 webbers!

only car i have seen that spits bigger flames than mine

 

I've got a few vids from Donno late last year and everytime he backed off for Godards (chicane into the pit straight) he flamed... is way cool

 

205's fookin ROCK

Its my daily driver as well... Has now done 2000 miles in 13 days of ownership, and all i've done is put about 1/2 litre of oil in it

Why the fook do i have my RS Turbo again?

 

TOP TOP TOP Videos there Sketch....Nice one mate

Was a proper good few laps of full on death for the 205's

You was getting the corner coming onto the long straight alot better than i was....just couldnt master that tricky fooker all day.......ATB Diff will help

As for the overtaking on the corner i will hold my hands up now i have seen it on Video and i am sorry to whoever it was....think it was HongKongPhooey ........The red mist had set in i think

THE MOST FUN TRACK CARS I HAVE EVER BEEN IN

 

and they dont rust

 

Like I've said to a few people... they're so good because they're just effortless to drive...

Most other cars you need to work at...

 

OFF TOPIC ALERT

Just found these from Donno








and back....

Glad you've seen them Tiff

Im well pleased that the vid's have come out ok, the tripod was bodged in the car with duck tape and cable ties, and i was sure it was gonna just roll over after the 1st corner but it stayed up there all afternoon and got me 56mins of footage!

Am gonna buy a proper mount though for the next track day

 

Ahhhhhhh im with ya Toff

Make sure he knows that it did me proud and that im well chuffed with it

 

There you go

Wicked vids peeps, those little pugs really do pull in a straight line done they!

Tiff, blatently (sp) overtaking on the corners!

 

a will do sketch ave told guy you were happy with it but that was before beds

 

Very good vids those pugs looked loads of fun will have to blag a passenger ride next time if pos

 

anyone want a cossie want me a 205 mi16 they lloked fuckin awesome

 

TBH mate....i havent looked back since i got mine

 

Looked like you had fun.

Tempted to fuck the fiesta off and have my GTI-6 as a track car (or a mi-16 205)!! At least I'd know I could hammer it all day without probs!

Tiff, how do you go about gettin the right pressure in your slicks?

Marco recommended doin a couple of laps on about 18psi then comin back in and lowerin the pressure. Thats fine on open pit lane days but what about when you in sessioned ones??

 

Brasso

Like you i have Marco as my advisor

For instance...Donnington on a session Trackday.

The first couple of times i went out wih them about 16 front and 15 rear....

When i can in and they were hot i adjusted them to get about 25 front and 24 rear.

From that i could work out whet pressures to put in from cold and i knew that after 2-3 laps of Donno i was up to temp with the right pressures

 

Start out considerably lower then I take it!

I'll look out for you at Donno mate.

The fiesta is running out of lives, not sure powerfull FWD makes a good track car at the mo! I might need converting to pug power!.

 

Do it mate.....I have done 3 hard track days and over 400 track miles in as many months and NO breakages at all

 

Was Louise driving Nige ?

Brasso - 'sessioned' times are just that.... you can come in, and go out as many times as you like, as long as your session is still running

2 laps, in, 2 mins to adjust the pressures, and the rest of the session to play. Its only usually the first one of the day that you need to be doing that on, so wont eat up too much of your time compared to sitting on the beach waiting for a tow truck

Nice vids...

 

Talk to the people who make the slicks! Slicks work best at the right temp.
My dunlops have to be around 36 when hot to be any good, any higher they get to hot and are crap. I start off with 28 front and 34 back and after 10 laps at Bedfords they was spot on 36 all round. Anyone who saw it go round should agree it handled fine. Oh and mine are 15 inch

 

Sketch


good vids told you ages ago about slicks ...


when i saw tiff in front of you i knew that you wouldn't pass him

slicks are worth a good 80 bhp

if your on road tyre you haven't got a chance in the bends


Marco

 

Tiff/Jim

yes because they are both FWD cars and weigh roughly the same about 1000 kilo so it's about right

belive me form 18 psi cold they rocket up to about 29 psi when they get hot

thats why you have to do the pressures it's so important or the slicks wont last 5 mins ( the centers will wear out rapidly) and it does help if you can run a bit of negative camber on the front aswell it wont kill the edges so much , just abit of advice

well done lads glad you had a good day

Marco

 

Wasnt doubting the advice mate.

Typeing without thinking! Never occured I'd probally only need to do it on the first session! Hopefully try them out in a couple of weeks if I can sort the breather issue out.
