Pete
how did you get on with the slicks?

Raj
nice to meet you. Not many people forget a man of my stature so I'll forgive you this once :lol:

Shane
your 32 looked like it was getting quicker all day. Bodes well for TA round one.

Pabs
nice to see you again yesterday.

Fantastic!!

I was a bit apprehensive when I first went out, not knowing how they would feel but once they had a couple of laps to warm up they were great. I found it hard to get heat into the rears and so they did still squirm a little on the slower corners but being able to go through the Craner curves without braking into the left was a fantastic feeling

The car does suffer from a bit of understeer on road tyres and could really do with a bit of negative camber to sort that.

Did you do anything to your oil system (baffled sump, accusump etc) or did you just go for it? I love the idea of full slicks on the 32 but I am concerned about oil starvation. I do have a baffled, extended sump and an accusump for your info.

Where did you get the tyres from by the way?

Tyres were ex Seat touring car, off Flea-bay at some price too rude to mention.............oh, go on then 99p for all 4

Car is totally standard and no issues but the GTST's do seem a lot less vulnerable to oil starvation than a GTR

99p!!

:sick:

Jesus bloody Christ!! Fair play mate.

I'm pretty sure I have the oil thing covered but I was interested to ask as everyone else I know only runs cut slicks at best.

Car was going well for standard

ye we were working on setup all day changing car setup everytime i went out so as to get a feel for how we want to run it at round 1 which i think we were there at end of day.

2 seconds a lap quicker from AM to PM. Very crude timing and nothing to take to seriously but a definite move towards decent times.

How many times have you done Donny before?

Cracking day out!

It was nice to be back in the seat again!

I saw you come in a few times Dunc and meant to come over to meet you just like I did with loads of people but it never happened, you know how it is. I still managed to catch up with a few of the Skyline guys I aint seen for ages so it was good.

Looking forward to TA now more than ever :-D

no worries, I know exactly how it is - i was feeling guilty myself for not popping over

Great to blow some cobwebs out and get a full day on track after 4 months without track action
