Took the Focus in for a Service and MOT.
Just had a call to say it's got a broken front spring

Always a good excuse for drop springs

Went sideways down Craners at Donington..
Driver error, as they usually are with these things!
Trying to fix it all just sort of came naturally so I'm glad I didn't have to think about that, been just over a year since I actually did any proper track time. The only thought I remember is "if this digs it, I'm gonna roll" as I saw grass flying over the windscreen
Bit of work to be done before I take it on track again, was playing it very cautiously and didn't bother doing a full lap at max pace, just slowing down for half a lap then getting back on it. Needs an oil cooler and a set of gauges before I can properly trust it.
Donington seemed.. lax.. on their noise limits today, presumably because it were a public day (Japfest), so I took the opportunity to flat foot shift it in every gear which resulted in this..
In hindsight... Yeah I'd have still done it anyway
hahaha same place as Me in DC2 but Slower

Did indeed, I've seen some scary RWD slides there with less fortunate endings, I'll stick to my more predictable and correctable FWD for track work
Poped Track Cherry of this 350Z on Saturday. Considering It was first time I was pushing RWD car taht just had Springs and Shocks replaced with no Wheel tracking done and steering wheel off around 30 degree to left. Had fun besiodes second lap when LSD abs EVC and god knows what kicked in and had no brakes so drove over chicane. But not spun or crashed. Next upgrade is.... Brakes Need lines fluid pads. Last lap and cooldown lap I had NO brakes at all pedal went so soft i had to pump it 4 times to have any stopping power
Btw Saturday it was BOILING hot buhahaha
Well never seen power steering fluid actually Boiling
@Acme indeed was hoping for 305 310MAX. Got more happy with what I'w got. Dont need more power not like I'm good enough to make use of more anyway.. Would just make me CRASH hahaha. Ofc got optional Pops and Bangs
Thats how it is when flooring it puts more smiles on face

Or drove a car with snapped of gearbox shaft mount inside. Was very Crunchy

That's... not good. Especially if you hit someone on track and they found out your steering wheel was 30 degrees off center.
Unnecessary risk to yourself and other drivers

You know I'm crazy **** I'w drove over 15 miles in rain with no tyre on just Rim cause was middle of freaking forest god knows where so could not call AA. Should have seen state of rim after that
Got to some Inn and called em from there.Nont care much about my own health. Should have died in my DC2 anyway.
Was Interesting with trackign on 350Z steering wheel off by 30 still driving straight not pulling braking in straight line. Guys at TDI north sorted taht in 15 minutes heh.

Ye went for 4.20 session cause. Less people think was only 8 of us on track. Pink micra on my taill for 2 laps i let him pass he.... Spun 30 seconds later on chicane . Other chap that Spun same place as You with FTO he broke down just on entrance to nottingham
Think I saw you at 4PM lining up to go on? Will watch the vid when I get home
Was a very hot day indeed, I've no gauges for oil/water yet so was taking it super easy (read: 4000rpm) on the straights letting it all cool back down again, and then hammering it from Redgate to Coppice hill.
No dramas with brakes fortunately though DS2500 didn't inspire confidence so wanting to waste them as quickly as possible and get some Pagid PS29s on there.
Probably wants bleeding too and having higher temperature fluid go in there as I'm not entirely sure what's in it.
