Looking awesome Tony, love the rims!

superb  , that track always looks great fun
in terms of the sport cups , what pressure do you run at , and how to they warm in on the first few laps?
cheers 

[tony_danza]

John, they're really good. Couple of laps and they're like chewing gum and don't change from there onwards - really stable and epic amounts of grip. You don't feel them going away at all.

Started at 2.2F/2.3R and just dropped .1F

Excellent photos  how where the new pads. 

[Poverty]

tell us more about the day! What other cars where there?

[tony_danza]

TC, pads were great once I'd driven through the judder... apparently you don't put them on used discs without roughing them up. I didn't notice when bedding in, but I got feedback on the drive down and during the morning session.. I had to basically try and kill the pads to cure it. As soon as I'd done that, they were great, perfect for the track/conditions.

On track?

Atom, F430 CS, 'vettes, Ultima GTR, porkers, CSL Cup, loads of Evo Xs, a 700BHP RX8, Nissan GTRs and lots of other play things - a real big boys day.

The day was great fun, there's no telling what my car was really faster/slower than as I didn't speak to the drivers, but I scalped some surprising stuff.

Did you still keep Stevy D in his place with his new found rocket fuel.

He shared it... and I can confirm it has an effect.

That track looks awsome with a gorgeous backdrop. Good pics mate. Would love to do a trackday, but I'm so scared of binning it. Saying that I may be doing the RING for my 30th next June, been practicing on forza 2/3 for 2 years

Looking good great. Nice to see the moonshine was fruitful

Even mrs cherry has fallen in love with those rims dude 

[tony_danza]

Pauli, so long as you keep your head and a check on what the car is doing, you're fine. If you start getting red mist, come in. If the brakes start feeling spongy, come in. Most days offer tuition, get a session - everyone needs it.

You can get 1 day cover from all sorts of places, some insurers such as Greenlight offer track day cover as part of their policies too - so you're covered just in case.

VC - The wheels seem to be getting a lot of love from all areas, but not as much love as the little oval thing on the bumper you did for me - instant cult classic. Thanks!

Im sorry to point out that TD had the slowest Mk5 gti at the track day........(love you really hunni bun).

The Anglesey day was amaizing!, so different to Oulton park featuring cheeky neg camber corners and fast straights leading to 2nd gear super slow corners. I also noticed the guys running it (circuit days) seemed to be a lot more relaxed that the MSV days, however this could be simply down to the marshalls.  The entire day went almost fault free.  My fire extinguisher very kindly set itself off during a lap, mid corner might I add.  Deciding choking and the distraction was bad I pitted to sort it out, later on in the day I almost hit the side of an MR2 that had spun, but didnt so all is good.

There were some big toys there as TD pointed out, my claim to fame should be passing the F430 and ultima but its clear that they were not pushing that hard (although it took me 4 laps to catch the ultima, and a full lap to pass it).  there was a wide range of cars on track including a 200sx drifting every single corner, it looks cool but you dont really want that behind you its distracting and I think he got told to calm down.

Im very happy with how my car performed, the Bio mix helped with top end speed, 3rd and 4th gear seem to go on and on, after some cautious calculations we worked to a "safety zone" and the difference in power is amazing.  As usual the ds2500's were faultless but my next mods are going to be all about eliminating body roll but maintaining comfort (see the pics for what im on about).

I think DSG is what makes this car good on track, you can make so much time up braking, turning and shifting down all at exactly the same time! it also felt better thanks to the milltek non res because you could actually hear my car 

anyways here are a few pics :-

I know it was halloween but killer fire extinguisher's......... c'mon thats just lame



I have to say those wheels looks even better in the flesh!
