Well finally I can stand back and admire what I had set out to try and achieve the car is finally where I want it to be , I suppose the subtle changes will never stop , time to enjoy sunny days out at various tracks and wet ones !

Spoiler now fitted looks like a scoob again

Had another great track day at Blyton through javelin .
It was a full turn out 50 cars out from iabusa powered cars to evo's in fact a good range , we set up as rain was expected so I had the Dunlop x22 cut slicks on just in case I dropped the pressure down to 26 psi after 5 hard laps the tyres had gone off !!

After swapping front to rears and half hour cool down I went out again after 5 or 6 laps I checked the tyre pressures and they had gone up from 26 to 34 the track was hot and the choice of tyres was way out .

Needed a harder compound tyre and really should have had slicks on .
You live and learn still had a great day last time out I did 10 laps as I knew it would be my last time out as the tyres were going off, so did some really good laps came in and cooked the NDX blue stuff pads !! Won't be using those again just not up to it.

Learnt alot today some really quick cars another great day

welld done mate you have built an awesome track car there.

leecalcars 29 July 2012 08:14 PM

That's all I intended to do was build a safe track car and with the help of Duncan and a a few good friends I have achieved this

rooferman 30 July 2012 10:33 PM

Poo stuff up to there usual quality hey...

Car looks really good.

I found r888 too soft for blyton although they were well worn.
Harder compound Dunlop dj sport tarmac slicks where in a different league at the 22b sprint last month.

When's the next Mazda sprint day Lee ?

leecalcars 01 August 2012 06:41 AM

Out at Cadwell on the 12th sept few things I need to change before then tyres and pads are a few just hope she holds out for a couple more track days before I go ahead with rebuild .

tubbytommy 01 August 2012 06:46 AM

awesome car, just needs that 2.1 in it now:thumb:

leecalcars 01 August 2012 07:01 PM

On the lookout for some new tyres for next outing at Cadwell park on the 12sept ,
Think I'm going to give the hankook's a bash also changing the front pads to carbotech see if this setup works better than before hope so it's all really trial and error.

leecalcars 08 August 2012 07:24 PM

I spoke with Ian today at carbotech he has done me a good deal on the xp10's for the k sport 8 pots should be £295 delivered got them for £270 del these should be better than the NDX , I suppose you get what you pay for !

Tyres to be ordered in a few weeks from Steve Harkness he has part worn hankooks at £45 a tyre or brand new at £145 a tyre think I'm settling for a new set this time to feel the difference I know it's an expense but should see a few track days and sprints out of these
Mazda sprint at Blyton in oct so I've signed up for that one too

jura11 08 August 2012 10:18 PM

Nice one Lee about the brake pads,XP10 or XP12 are great pads,pricey but looking forward to review

About the tyres,which one Hankook you are looking get?


Jura

leecalcars 08 August 2012 10:31 PM

Hankook Z209 Jura

leecalcars 08 August 2012 10:31 PM

I have a set if the cr311 dunlops x22 compound but a little to soft for my liking
