MX-5 CLUB OF QLD - WILLOWBANK TRACK DAY - 14 SEPTEMBER 2015

[Vat]

Thanks for the reminder, just sent my payment off now (entered a week or so ago). First time out for the coilovers, should be interesting...

You'll be faster purely from the confidence they give you compared to the spongy oem suspension. I improved 1.5sec at Lakeside without any other changes when I got my Blues, almost entirely just from the confidence in how it felt. Braking for T3 on your first flying lap will demonstrate nicely.

I'm all paid and in got some nice semi slick tyres this time round
First time on QR clubman though so be nice

Yeah, braking is going to a big one, as well as the Dipper, I think.

The recent advice given to me with regards to QR is to 'brake later and brake less', this advice does work!

Here is a plot (speed/distance) comparing my PB (red) with my best lap with the car not going over about 6,000 RPM (blue), so a bit underpowered. The changes in the car's setup was the red lap was using FZ201's and the blue lap was using AD08's and the sticking rear brake fixed. It is obvious the speed difference on the straights, however from the apex of turn 1 I picked up time and did not start loosing time till after T4. From T4 to T6 is a good acceleration zone so the power difference showed. But again at turn 6 time was gained despite a slower straight speed.

This time the car should be working at 100% so looking forward to beating my previous PB.

I'm in, got the new MS3Pro installed, it'll be a tuning day for me. Maybe, just maybe i'll have my NT01's by then too, hmmm, but that would be two new variables at once....might hold off on the tyres.

I will pay tomorrow but have no idea if I will run - just home from more surgery and trying to wqork out how to sleep tonight in the verical position! Left ear has had a graft done and also had surgery on my chest, latter only discovered Tuesday so lucky he could do it as well today

I will see how I go for Sunday now, not so sure about that oe but at least I can have breakfast

Think we may have found the intermittant problem with my NB - sounds very much like the EGR sensor

[Magpie]

Car won't make it to the dyno till Monday, still have to sort out a start date for new job but all is looking good.
