WELL at least jazz + civic or integra day. Could run alternative sessions with jazz and then other. Anyhow, next circuit club day is 3rd October so get ready! Also rumour has it the C16 class next time will be "1.6L and under" and not "under 1.6L" so we may have more competition :)Quote:

I haven't checked my oil yet but last trackday didnt lose any oil at all...
Nope, the available gears is the same in both cases but the "S" mode holds the revs higher and revs up faster than "D" mode. Actually I found "L" mode is even higher revs - maybe we should try that next time?Quote:
I might sound stupid here.. but isn't S mode a lower ratio gear mode and that's a maximum speed you can go...unlike the D mode..
Also I found you can increase engine braking when braking for a corner by moving the lever forwards and backwards between D and S a few times.
One things for sure -- you have to keep the jazz right in the peak powerband at all times for maximum speed around the circuit.
I seriously doubt it would. I didn't leave the track surface at all this trackday... maybe I was driving too conservatively this time? haha...Quote:
umm did the spin out cause damage to the body? scratches etc?
Some how you guys ended up doing alot more laps than me according to racetime stats :) Can't wait for next time.

pete..... when you corner..... does ur bodykit scrap the ground cos its so low?
not in that track i mean.... cos the other day i tried the jazz, at 150km/h the pedal wasnt fully pressed yet.... so i estimate may be another 20km/h once all fully slammed... but i also think its gonna take a while to reach 170km/h... for my car 150km/h is not that hard to achieve.... its only 150km/h man.... slow u know... hahahahQuote:

Looking at the picture, I didn't hear or feel the wheels rubbing against the wheel arches either :?
On another note after being on teh track and adjusting the suspension there, on the road it handles 20 times better again even with very worn tires!!
Next time, i want to try run different adjustments again and see how they go
Pete :)
thanx for the reply pete..... nice to know...... I am thinking of dumping my jazz..... :D
very impressive track times once again...... hope u can host some videos up for us to see....
cheers... :)
Pete, you using the Zeal Blue Panther Coilover right? What damper setting do you use normally on streets comparing to that on tracks?
terris08 - Originally before the track day i had the front set at 2 and the rear set at 5. However, even on the street on some corners had problem with the rear being "skatey". After the rear sliding out and spinning me off the track, i changed the front to 3 (out of 4) and the rear i think 3 (out of 8) from memory - will double check later on for you.
After that on the track I didn't have a problem really it was pretty stable - sometimes the rear would kick out just a little bit or got understeer after that and sometimes both in the same corner.
haven't changed it for the street and on the street it handles much better than before however i still want to play around wiht the settings a little bit more.
Also keep in mind that i have a few strut bars and braces.
Pete :)
ive seen a jazz with just about 195, the jazz goes pretty good upto 160-175 then it starts to slow down, stock it just falls dead about 140km/h, to get anything over 190 you gotta have a nice non windy day and from 185 to 195 it took ages.Quote:
