Sounds good mate

But just imho ~ A Little bit to far to go

Trouble with these trackdays is after adding up all the costs they they are rather expensive

Most are on weekdays ~ Loss of earnings etc .. Travelling to & from track, all fuel costs ,

Need to try & keep as local as poss , Brands is good but done that twice now ( Indy ) , GP Did look good but costly again

Bedford is ideal & we had a cracking day last time out , But the noise issue is a major headache for most

Guess that leaves Snetterton ??

Open to other suggestions

Id say Bedford is most suitable due to its runoff IMO..

I know thw noise is an issue.. maybe we can get a GB on repacable silencers

Been done in the past , We had loads out @ Bedford & Brands hatch

Most feel alot more comfortable on track if they know who is on track with them ( Other ESC Members etc ...) Rather than another load of other cars , But i understand that we will never get the amount that we require to have a track to ourselves , But i feel that we could get 15 ~ 20 Esc cars attending & make an organised trackday a good day out

Tiny ...

( Going out to mum's now , May be an idea to start a new ESC Trackday thread me thinks )

Yep agree frayz

But last time we all had " Bungs " Made by H&S & Most still failed the drive by noise tests , Me , Rob , Hales , kin quick just to name a few of the top of my head

Tell me more about replacable silencers

Sure Boss could sort a good deal @ Bedford with JP For us all

I think it will be 105db, but to be honest they don't check, so you'll not really have problems there.

mine is around 110db @4krpm

I know they checked us at Bedford before the session and pulled us at Brands last year..

The brands issue was due to running a screamer pipe from the wastegate though

I know mate and i was on about a silencer.. not a bung.

I mean a complete new rear silencer that i swap for track days, the stock abox is too restrictive, i was possibly thinking a twin pass 3" can.

We'll see.

I must admit I fancy a track day at Bedford myself early next year, as it's a good track for my first outing in the legacy... plenty of run off

Will have to get Phil to sort one out an SIDC outing

Frayz ..

Will my standard pea shooter BB , Fit on my h & S Centre section , Or will they be a different diameter ?

If will fit will just change back to pea shooters for the day , Saying that last time out @ Bedford i run with my set up now & a bung for 90% Of the day before getting black flagged for noise later in the day

I dunno mate, im 99% sure that youre current system is stock diameter, 2.5".

If that is the case then youre stock box will bolt up without a problem and you shouldnt have to alter your map at all due to any restriction issues.

If you had a 3" system and bolted up a stock box, a map change would be required as it may form a restriction.

Im 99% sure you'll be fine mate

Tiny I believe you have the same system as me (Haywood and Scott 2.5 inch system), apart from the back box, in that case you can bolt the standard peashooters back on no probs.

Two bolts and a couple of rubber mounts
