Have booked on with MSV - anyone else going? Will be in a blue mk3 MR2, and my mate should be there in his 200sx if it's working!

Looking forward to it!

We were there in the silver Mk3 Mr2, didn't see you out much in the blue one though?

I got extremely frustrated with the moron in the 5.0 litre Mustang who was completely hopeless in the bends and then would allow me to get level with him on straights before he buried it and left me for dead, it went on for a good 3 or 4 laps, I think the guy in the silver Elise got stuck behind him too!

Other than that was a great day and I learnt quite a bit.

Yeah, unfortunately the check engine light came on frown did have a quick go in the afternoon but thought I'd play it safe and get home! You were doing well, what tyre pressures were you running?

Was good fun, but thinking need to do a few more days to get the confidence up. Surprisingly not too much of a wait to get on, some seriously quick clios and the focus rs on the day. The silver z4 had a couple of naughty moments though.

Have you had the codes read? It's nearly always an o2 sensor on these, I've had to change one on mine.

Pressures were 2 psi below stock all round, I'm running federal 595 rsr's which are sticky track day tyres and we were pushing pretty hard, I was sharing the drive with a friend.

If you're going to do more I can't recommend the Federals enough though they make a massive difference!

Was there in the mk3 silver mx5. Great day improved loads throughout the day.

Just ordering new springs to make the car handle less like a boat smile

I had a few problems with people not moving over or getting a bit aggressive. The 991 porker driver was waving his arms at me because I was indicating right and trying to let him past... Then when he went past can you guess how fast he was??!

Also this caterham driver. I was quite surprised at how long he kept me behind. I always put it down to inexperience, they know you're there but haven't thought to let you by, just thinking you're having some good sport lol
