SIDC at Knockhill, Saturday 8th August

[g1zmo26]

Was good to catch up with some old and new faces. Thanks to all that took mike out for some pax think his wife is not too pleased with me now. Think it was Jason that put the nail in the coffin for that one. All the way home that's all he talked about

Stuart

ps sorry Mass we didn't get much time to catch up. Hope you had a better afternoon speak to you soon.

Jamie, I use the SRF and never managed to boiled it (in 360, XTR, CR or SLR). Don't know about the RBF but may be as good.....

With just 10 gentle laps, at about 9:30, the SLR engine started to make a noise again with loads of smoke. An engineer at KH had a quick look and he thought it was the small or big end bearing going (i.e. terminal) so the Cat had to retired once again.

Luckily, John was there with Mac's Cat on Kev's trailer. He has agreed to take the SLR back to Kev's house for me! Thanks for your assistance.

As I had my sister's family from France staying with me, the nephews were really keen to experience KH, so Scott was kind enough to take me back to my house in Gala (140 miles round trip) in his S1 Elise to pick up the CR. Very much appreciated

Left KH at about 12:15 and got back by 15:00 While I was away, Kev and Jason took my nephews out which they've enjoyed very much. Thanks guys for giving them the Cat experience

Had a few pax laps with my nephews and a few other familiar faces. The TC wouldn't come off so I couldn't slide out of the corners which made the laps tame..... The CR shouldn't come with the TC

A mate with the Duratec R400 arrived and we went out for a few laps. Very quick times with awesome driving style .

Monsoon style rain started at about 17:00 and continued for almost 30mins which was very enjoyable (with the F1 tyres).

Thanks John for the morning session and Tim for the afternoon one which he singed me in for free!

Sorry for not chatting to many people ....... Jason (mainsy), hope you've managed to get some pax laps.

The day started Sh!t but finished

Mass, was that Mads with the 400? He was signed up for the SIDC but called me to say he may not make it.

was a great day yesterday. some very fast action, especially the evo and the white bmw getting massively sideways out of the hairpin

when i spoke to you mass i could tell things weren't going to well, hope it isn't going to be too bad to fix.

didn't manage any pax laps unfortunately, but i was happy just watching, there was lots to see

i was itching from the side though, i've mucked about too long . i really need to get on track soon

[quote="DigitalIs it Castrol SRF that everyone on here recommends?[/quote]

Used SRF for last three years successfully.

I've used ATF Super Racing blue from Euro car parts circa £12 per tin and it's been awesome. Never had an issue with it in the elise or the 7 - there was a time when there was plenty of elises using it (mainly because I help bleed a lot of brakes one summer!)

It's probably the most sense to come out of Simon Ironside's mouth!

Mac,
I tooted at you as you turned right near KH....I was in a black Golf.

[meatball]

Mass,
Sorry to hear about the engine again.
What did you do that for? I said I wanted a shot in a week or two when my ankle is up to it!
R500 spec time?

I'm now glad I didn't drive it when you offered, I'd have been getting the blame!

Catch up soon boss.

Ah ha! - Yes, I did wonder who was tooting - thought it might have been a warning that the pig were waiting further up the road - didn't realise they were much closer

Sorry to hear about your mechanical maladies Mass, you've not had the best of luck with that car Just as well you've got another track-ready car waiting to go

Just noticed the difference in price between the SRF and RBF brake fluids, bit of a jump!

[xtreme]

Cracking session, really enjoyed it!

1st time out in the car after some engine trouble but after some new internals, new SC and remap it was going well. Have lowered the rev limiter until the engine has had a good run, this was a bit of a pain as was hitting it in third going down duffus / through the chicane and the gear changes were a bit frantic till I got used to it!

So much for gently running the car in Was trying to take it easy but easy to get caught up in the moment!

Had a good tussel with the black exige s - have it on video so will get it uploaded to youtube shortly!

Once the car is run in and the rev limiter adjuster back up / car remapped it should be good for 300+ so need some more sessions quickly now its back on the road!

Afraid I caused one red when there was an electrical problem / misfire coming out the pit lane - cleared after the ignition was restarted??? Will need to get this checked.

As usual with SIDC excellent day, good driving and excellent marshalling (made a big difference they were on the ball with blue flags)

Quickest lap was 1.01.70 - pleased with that given I was meant to be taking it easy

Good pics in the gallery as well!

Cheers

Hi
just got the hang of this youtube stuff and added a 10-minute in-car video on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNAhZV8Kg4k

Maybe posted in the wrong place here, but feel free to move it. Loads of Loti in the footage, plus scoobies, evo, BMW, Clio, Seat etc. First time I tried out the el cheapo camera and the sound isn't up to much - too much wind noise and not a pop or bang to be head...and I'm sure the car was making a few

...oh, and the footage is from the TVRolet (TVR Tuscan/Chevrolet) - only 5 gears changes per lap!

i had a blether with you on sat, your car is a monster, very impressive. it has a great sound to it, especially when you had it opened up along the pit straight
