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
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
I'w done crazier things with a car. Ever drove 40 miles in car with no SEATs ?? just a bucket lol.You went to the track with a steering wheel 30degrees off center?
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.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
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.
More like Crazy and waiting for death. Been to hospital 2 times this year for operations.Your well.... Experienced.. or ard
Typical TDI North exaggerated figures.It picked up 40HP from intake, exhaust, plenum spacer and a map?
Thats awesomely good for an NA car!
