what groups are there for a track day as i want to use my mk4 when its done as a little track day toy for some fun but dont want to be pissed on by all the cossies etc...

its only going to be either a

1.8/2.0 zetec with exhaust and k&n...

or a 1.6 cvh, with some minor head work, 4-2-1 manifold and exhaust and k&n...

whats the best group to go in to suite me?

 

Open pit lane

 

Dare I mention......Bedford 2ndFeb 2008.......OPEN PIT LANE

 

sorry but dont know much at all about trackdays...whats open pit lane?

kind of cars etc?

 

If your gonna trackday it with those cut down springs, make sure you aint in any group i'm in !!

 

Yes the very same "open pit lane" as in you pay just one fee, then go out on track as often and as long as you want and at your own speed !!

What a bargain

 

if you actually took time in reading my post ive stated very clearly that once its ready to go on track i will be obviously changing the suspension!!!!!

 

Well fcuk me i am sorry !!!

 

And wheres the bit about changing the springs then?

 

"well as its not goin on the track anytime soon, me and me mate just took a few coils off...(obviously wouldnt use it on track with chopped springs!" )

says it clearly on the 3rd page of my project thread about half way down!

 

if the trackday isn't open pit, go in novice, and use your mirros A LOT

as you will be new to track, other people even novices will be fast, so use your MIRRORS

make sure you have ZERO oil leaks and brakes and suspension is up to the job.

and TYRES, and tyre pressures are correct for conditions

check you have enough oil and water too

then take ya time, it's not a race, and make sure you do warm up laps and cool down laps, it helps the car recover

 

thanks for that spiky!

 

no probs

 

think im just going to get some s2 front brakes or cossys if some come up...

i want it to be low still but handle better than chopped springs obviously, so might go for 60mm springs and uprated shocks (peoples opinions please as is 60mm to low for the track or is it ok)

 

-60 for track

I'll book a ringside seat now and bring the video camera

Ł250 certainty on You been Framed

 

lol

25,30 or 40mm springs then..

 

std or -25 max

 

Please listen to Nuts and Spiky before going on track!!!!Regards,Micky
