I've a few more bits left to sort, but barring any massive problems this will be the cars first real shakedown. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Tempted. The demo car isn't yet ready but I could bring my daily Glanza. Do you run an oil cooler on yours? I don't have one on my daily and that would be my only concern. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Yeh, I have an oil cooler fitted.. Temps are manageable though, especially if you have a temp gauge. Just come in when it starts to get a bit warm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I could be tempted, but like Idrees said I would be worried about temps as mine gets pretty hot under normal road driving. Noise limits could also be a potential problem for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimlols Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Was eyeing it up as a possibility but theres a few local ones around for cheaper so will have to see how money goes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaddzz123 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I'm really tempted with this but my GT currently has literally 0 handling mods lol. It wellows around like a jelly, hard to stop it rolling over at normal speeds Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza Mac Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Very tempted!Rob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Nerves are beginning to jangle as the 19th gets closer. Final spanner checks and a quick bleed of the brakes on Friday night before an early morning hour or so drive to the venue. Spent a good portion of this week trying to figure out why my indicators wouldn't work. Fearing it was something I'd done with the wiring, this added to my nerves, turns out it was the Hazard Switch, so they're working now. Given that I can expect issues throughout the day, it'll be nice to be able to warn other drivers I'm slow/pitting. Looks like rain as well, that will separate the men from the boys.

abbott Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Good luck tim i hope to be up there in the afternoon. Are you staying up there there night on saturday? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Was a great day, apart from the rain that stopped play for an hour or two. But it turned into a wonderful evening! Car went well, some teething problems, but I ended the day with some great laps. It goes well for only 140hp! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
