1:18.40

It's a really good platform :D
I was really impressed, considering the car is completely stock. I think a 1:16 is on the cards, i would have done it on the day, but i ran out of talent.

This was with a proper track side timer/beacon btw. We had the read out in the car so knew what times we were pulling each time we passed the infra-red beam.

Nice times. Interested to know whether you experienced bad brake fade during/after the day with a stock euro? I remember my brakes being very sensitive prior to the first track day I did, but after that, they became very weak and spongy

There was a little inconsistancy... the fade was there, but not too bad.
I did get caught out once though, hard on the brakes into turn one, and the pedal went to the floor. :eek:
I need to wash my car as a result of that little off tarmac expedition

I need to push the pedal down much further now, so there is a marked difference before and after racing. Nothing a pad and fluid change won't fix though. The hard bit is finding the right pads.

I really want to go back there with better tyres, pads, fluid and maybe some braided lines. That should be enough to knock a few seconds off the time.

A brake fluid change would get rid of the spongy pedal dude.

Yeh not a bad time for his first time on the track in the euro and 2nd time at the track in over 4 years. Made my full suspension worked Z looked PISS SLOW with a 1:18:36.....hehehhehe.

Don't go beating yourself up lol

The Z is hugely harder to drive, it looks hugely sexier, and sounds hugely sexier. I'm sure it's hugely more fun to throw around too.

Id love to hit wakefield. Its only 60km from my place. I was worried about some dick rear ending me and losing my insurance but.

How do you rate it risk wise?
