Anyone need any Millers Octane Plus/CVL Turbo, CFS 10/60 + 15/60 or Racing brake fluid that mixes with any non silicone fluid?
I will bring a little of each in case anyone needs some tonight.

Duncan, you taking any in car footage?

What a hoot tonight was - thanks Stu, Dunk - actually had my best outing ever - so pleased with the car and it's new found handling ability

Only shame is my footage is near useless as I must have knocked the zoom and have 45 minutes of my steering wheel

...

Great to see everyone having a good time too this evening !!!

That was a great night, the car did me proud

I got in at 10.45pm after dropping Kevs 200 off (hint hint

) still buzzing after an absolutely cracking track session. In contrast to Dunk, I had a few issues again, but these are only to be expected with a car that has been slung together in haste with no real money and zero time.

Clutch issues, windows falling out (at least that made you laugh eh Mark

) and all manner of strange handling quirks made for a very steep learning curve...........and I loved every minute

The handling can be attributed to running -0.5 camber on the back, 20 degrees toe out on the back etc etc Needless to say, I need to invest some money, which I don't have, in the car at some point. With the hiccups sorted, Betty should fly. It was good tonight so with more seat time and better set up?? Who knows

I had some of the best laps EVER tonight with Slarty, jonv and Bealo in hot pursuit. The four of us, all in M3's of differing ilks went for it and there is simply no contest for equal (ish) power levels and skill. It was bloody awesome.

I have a lot to learn about the car and a long, long way to go with my own driving but what a laugh!! My first spin in the BM too.

Onwards and upwards

PS- has anyone seen Kev.......last time I saw him on track he was travelling sideways at speed on the concrete run off at Sears, through puddles and mud and all sorts :lol:

I didn't know if he was able to find his way back to the circuit going that far off line

Great time as tonight. Thanks for organising this.

Have to say that although there was plenty of room out on track, the standard of driving was first class. :thumb:

Well the only big bang we had today was from the M3s engine, there is a hole in the block the size of my fist!!!

The laps I had out with Stu were fantastic, but Im sorry if we caused the session to be ended slightly before time.

Its not all bad news, just gives us an excuse to have more POWER lol...

So if anybody knows of any 3.2 E36/E46 engines out there let me know.
