Track day.
So the day arrived and the cars were ready. Woke up to some awful fog but the ground was dry. Anyway we set of for Teesside, which became eventful when the mx5 nearly fell off the dolly due to a strap coming loose. But apart from that all was well. When we arrived the weather had cleared and it was turning into a beautiful sunny day.
So first time out on track. And I drove like a right pussy. A few laps later I came in and swapped into the mx5,
And drove like a mad man, I got a good feel for the limits of the car. So after a fair few aggressive laps I came in and swapped back into the supra.
Feeling much more confident about the track and the car I pushed more and more. Having more fun and driving a lot better. Until a loud bang.
Boost pipe had come off. In a place where I've never had one come off. Buried under the front chassis leg. Anyway left it to cool off and got the boost pipe back on.
So after the fix I returned to the track. And after a fair few aggressive/tail happy laps I started to loose boost. It felt like I'd lost a turbo. After returning to the pits and letting the car cool down it turns out a vac pipe for the vsv for the second turbo had slipt off. Again a problem I'd never had on the road. Re secured the pipe and that was it till after lunch.
No problems in the afternoon. Just more aggressive driving in the mx5 and more tail happy laps in the supra. Overall I was happy with the supra. No major problems and it handled a lot better than I expected.
A few pics.
I know the pictures are crap quality. That's what happens when parents take pictures.
Anyway after coming away my dad loved it. So the mx5 will be getting Coilovers and a half cage. Hopefully before the next one.
And a random picture
Oh and jimmyup finalised the tshirt design. A lot better than I expected.
