Was pretty epic on sunday, i'm sure i saw this with lots of smoke poiring out the back at some point though

[luca]

No that would have been the red Escort in front of me causing a smoke screen.

[- Danny Boy -]

Awesome stuff as usual

[SEG1]

I saw the trolley on the track.

The handling was amazing. I Was upset when you pulled in though. Lol

What spring rates do you run Luke?

I was a little gutted but had such a great 1st session it didn't bother me to much.

Im trying to upload that now.

I'll have to check on springs, I've changed them so many times now to find the right ones.
I think its currently on 375 front and 450 rear

You were flying in the first session although probably a sensible move to pull off. I was out on track last with StevietheBeard and the N/S driveshaft went, and it sheared the wheelnuts off as well. We managed to get off the track safely but it could have been a lot more serious than it was!

[SEG1]

I also run 375 on the front, but only 220 on the back.

Who set the car up for you, geometry size?

Sorry for all the questions its just i loved the way it put the power down compared to mine. (Alot of torque steer)

Yikes! Bet that was a shock!

Was going well, best its ever felt and has given me so much more confidence.
The Tilton pedal box being a big part of that now it brakes properly.

You need to go stiffer on the rear for sure BUT if you use it on the road be very very careful it changes the car into an over steer beast!... Great when on track and when tyres are warm but lethal if there cold.

In my first session below - around 7 mins you can see what happens if you let off too much...... SLIDE!!!!!!

Car has yet to be set up for geometry - ooops! But JKM will be doing it.
Firstly shocks are going back to GAZ as the rear inserts are too short.

[rsturbonutter]

Looks pretty stable out there fella. I bet the buzz you get when you drestoy cars like the escort cosworths etc out on track is amazing. Next year my rs will give me that buzz

[SEG1]

Didn't know you could drift a fiesta. Lol

Defiantly going for stiffer springs on the back.

Does it get much torque steer? As it doesn't look that way.

[tompeteRS]

We watched this session from near the last corner before the start / finish straight. You could see just how quick the trolley is here as you were really gaining on the other cars, even the big power Cosworths weren't pulling away from you, if anything they were holding you up!

Thought the Cosworth powered MK1 Escort Estate that was out track was awesome!

[Gus!!]

You mean stand by the fiesta si stand?? I watched it from there too!!

[FRSJON]

looking good

[tompeteRS]

How did you get on John, I saw you out on what must have been your 1st session taking it steady.

[FRSJON]

was good tom car was faultless i just need more time behind the wheel

I wish I could have seen it from the side of the track

It doesn't torque steer one bit which still to this day baffles the hell out of me.

Yes that Mk1 was pretty special.

How was your day then? Did you enjoy relaxing and not having a stand to attend.

[SEG1]

What lower arms do you run Luke? And do you run a front arb?

Ian Howell arms and a standard FRST front ARB

[SEG1]

[andymac]
