**** Mondello International Oct 8th PM ****

had a great day... really enjoyed the track, was able to learn more about my car, how she handles in the wet was very suprising!! another good thing about the rain was at least the tyres where not torn to bits!  roll on the next one.

Alright, had a good laugh, though the conditions were a bit miserable, it was good fun on the track. Cheers for the spin ben, some nice powerslides :) I wonder if its the new air filter setup that makes your car sound nice, it sounds really good for a diesel. Get the IC mounted up properly soon.

Very scary on the brakes but grip through corners was surprisingly good. And the wet track made for great powerslides. My car held up great apart from the brakes. Rear pads bedded in fully after a few sessions and the fronts gave a vibration at the start but got better later on. Really looking forward to the next BDD. I'll be a bit better sorted though. My videos are about 350mb long. Youtube won't let me put them up. Is there another site that will?

what pads and fluid have you got on car?

Im just out of the workshop now, car serviced, new brakes up front, intercooler fitted, boost wound up! should be running 170brake now.. well see. Car is manky have to get up around 6 am to wash it and take all my crap out of it, then bring old clothes and lots of tools and spares as i will inevitably break down!

Talk to you guys tomorrow tomorrow, mine'll be the red 525 Turbo Green with the black smoke pouring out the back! Now i must go to sleep!

Now that is one rather awesome sounding beast! I'd love to something crazy like that with my e34 and give someone the fright of their lives

Nice. Make sure you bring some extra petrol.

Ado, the track is the best place to scrub in those new tyres. Bring your car anyway. I'll do my best regarding a joyride. Make yourself known. See you on Sunday.

If anybody is worried about driving on track, don't be. You don't have to go mad fast and there's a beginner group. And there'll be a few experienced guys that will be happy to show anyone the lines on the day. You won't wear the tyres unless you keep going very hard on the brakes and push hard in the corners every lap.

Don't forget to bring a helmet!

Generally you wouldn't be allowed out on track if your injury affects the time it takes you to get out of the car after an accident. i.e. if the car catches fire, you would want to be able to get out of it fairly lively. Dunno what Mondello's policy is wrt. trackdays though!

A few of us are heading for food after.
