Yes ,didn't miss a beat all the way home :? I think it's a heat issue ,I'll look at moving the ECU I think......
Not to worry on the seat I obviously need to beef the brackets up a tad .....

I've surveyed the damage .....Some steel required for the next set or bolt to the floor .............or no more lardy feckers riding shotgun...

Also required .......rear wheel bearings ( after me little off ) front bumper repair underside and a new dipstick tube,I've found one on a lump in the garden .

Got one more RR end of this month then JIL is upon the stands ,engine out for a rear crank seal and panels off for a stealth respray 8)

must have been caused by the high cornering G forces...

Good to see you had a good day. Looking good too.

I could certainly tell he was there in some of the corners :lol: It was a good exercise to feel the difference .
Track was very scary in the morning session .After about 10 spinners at one particular corner they came on the tanoy saying the next to do it would be taken off track for an hour and have some instruction :lol:
Only had one big moment coming out of Old Hall .Too fast in had me on the grass ,360 then 180 back across track and a 180 other side :oops:
I'd swear I was going to collect something hard but no ......
Certainly focuses the mind :lol:
Oulton is very challenging .Only got Druids rightish once :lol: But Shell is very GTA friendly ,luv it :lol:
We've got to get an Alpine trackday on the calender next year .Sod this cross channel millarky .

Yes Oulton looked and felt challenging from the "loose" passenger seat.

Pikey engineering those brackets :roll: "Do it once, do it right" is my motto! Oh and can you get me a bigger helmet for next time please :lol:

Ahh, to be fair height to weight ratio we are not far away chubbs :lol: :lol:

As for the seat, as far back as it will go, or in fact leave it out altogether. Save weight and I can do a "hightower" and sit in the back :wink:
