Drove down to Goulburn yesterday and had a crack at wakefield park for the first time. I learnt alot of new things about my car, parts, my driving and my balls!
Started off the day on my street 17" Kumho SPT tyres and Delphi street pads.
Had about 40psi in all tyres and Flex shocks all on Max.
I was taking it pretty easy in this setup as i didnt have alot of faith in it.
I had my mate timing me with a stopwatch and this first session was pulling times around 1:24.5, and managed to bring it down to 1:22.8 just by having a bit more balls round the corners!
After this session, swapped my pads over for Ferodo DS2500, lowered the front tyre pressure abit and wound down front shocks 6 clicks. This setup, i managed to get down to the 1:20's, i think alot of that was just due to practise and confidence though. These Brakes were so much better and didnt lose any bite at all. tyres turned to mush by now though so thought time to pull out the semi's!
By lunch i had an old set of 16" V700 semis on the car running about 34 psi in all tyres and the same brake and sussy settings. The slicks were amazing. so much more fun! i felt like i was hammering round the track by now, heart was racing whole way round!
The next couple of sessions i had the track pretty well figured out and the best time i managed was a 1:18.3 which i was stoked with and not expectin!
The problem is now i have become addicted...
By the way my car is 175 000km EJ8 Civic Vti running 80kw atw, so pretty happy with her effortsand mine!
