[trackday_prep] My 205 GTI-6 Supercharged Track Car

ah thanks matey

 

cool pics

[platty 1]

Looks like a brown pant moment for the BMW driver

[tracktoy 0]

thats me killing a cone

 

i think i saw the bmw moment is in one of your clips, he was on full slicks too wich just makes it all the more impressive

[Batfink 201]

ha ha loved the astra "reaching into his backpocket of talent"

The teg had great poise and speed in the corners

 

The CSL with slicks was certainly faster through most corners but he suffered from big car syndrome and wouldnt back off. Certainly didnt know the corners as well and kept on loosing a lot of speed. Has the potential to be very fast if he can keep heat in those tyres.

 

Liked the last session footage with the other 205 desperately trying to keep up, some great slides

'and finding it empty'- absolute classic quote

 

the csl was pushed to the point of running wide at a bend - great driving spiky

 

in reality i had very little chance of keeping up with spiky, his set up makes it so much more composed on track- got a loooong shopping list now

In video bedford 09 Session 6,

 

Was that you in the green 205 ( automatic by the looks of your bonnet ) trying to keep up with Spiky?

 

By the looks of it lack of LSD was your biggest problem and to much weight.

 

You must have a big set of b*lls, sliding a 205 like that...

 

Very smooth driving Spikey, I suppose you did not go "maximum attack".

[Spiky 37]

yeah thats paul (tracktoy) in the green one

 

he is a good driver

 

and yeah thats how i drive on track, steady and smooth .....

My first track outing 2009 will be on Zolder 29-04-09.

 

What camera did you use to capture the video's?

[Spiky 37]

all my youtube videos i have ever done are using a old cam camcorder, i really want some bullet cam's to film front and rear at the same time

 

but it jsut cant afford them at the moment

 

i use a nice roll cage mount from fast films.co.uk so can put the camera anywhere

 

sadly on this track day i didnt setup the camera properly

 

where is zolder?

was having lots of fun - always do on track

 

 

cheers for the comments, think i might di some more rear facing footage:D

 

one in the front and one in the back back would be cool

yep that was me in the green one

lsd would have made a big difference, dont think the car weighs much more than spikys (although i certainly do pmsl)- will have to ask the mrs about the b*lls though

spikys driving is always smooth and consistent resulting in very quick laps

Zolder is in the netherlands

[EdCherry 34 1 Cars]

"All the gear no idea" LOL! what was that guy playing at.

[platty 1]

I was happily watching the videos, and though the track looks familiar.

 

I was there a couple of years ago flying around in a JP1

 

 

Nice videos.

 

Will be great if you can get a rear facing vid aswell

[jordGTI 0]

great read well done

[Spiky 37]

ok,

 

decided it's time to start increasing the power, as i dont have a track day till end of may/ begining of june

 

taken the old engine loom and inlet off

 

will give it a quick clean next week and then put the new inlet on

 

not sure whether to get the PTFE inlet gasket on yet?

 

new ecu loom is already made and will be coming in just over a week, well after pay day ... :lol

 

so here is how it looks now

 

[Garry 1]

Who's doing the loom Spiky?

Are you getting a DTA ECU as per the group buy?

 

I am thinking of changing my management as my loom is a 306/205 bodge, which looks a mess.

Do you need to do anything special to make the DTA S40 to work as it will only read 2 coils as opposed to 4 coils on the S60?

[Spiky 37]

i bought loom off sandy (hope he dont mind me saying)

 

i will e getting S40 ecu hopefully via group buy, if that dont go ahead i will just pay full price

 

as the s40 dont do individual coils, i will run a coil pack and HT leads on a wasted spark operation

 

cant wait really, will have close loop, so fuel economy will be nice on the way to track days

[Spiky 37]

little update,

 

trial fitted my TB's,

 

the dipstick bracket needs a little work

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

then had a play on pauls milling machine, first time i have ever had a play on one , sooooooo cool (cheers paul)

 

then i got the grinder out..pmsl

 

will make a look a little better tomorrow then get it powder coated

 

but MY GOD how heavy is that engine mount... it's MAD

 

 

[SteveW 6]

Tb's gonna be awesome, your obsession with weight loss is nuts lol

[Super Josh 4]

Looks good You should be able to bend the distick tube to one side.

 

 

Josh

[Dj_mini 7]

Chuck the engine mount in the bin

 

looking good is sandy going to mapping it when he gets a free min?

[Spiky 37]

and use?

 

 

yeah he is mapping it
