Out in the Impreza again but hampered a bit by random issues - see thread in 'Engine Management'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-r4Kwvguqc wee lad in passenger seat seemed to enjoy it. A few moments under braking and a couple of slides.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ETK0wt_vPg One big slides round McIntyres i think, or could be next vid.

Running around 1bar, part throttle and normally under 6k rpm :S (2.1 with 20G).

wee trackday and 'test' for Fee at a Baltic Anglesey on Sunday. Great track but a little lacking in facilities

Would have loved to have done the costal track but we were on the GP, so missed out the Cork Screw.

Anyway, here are some pics and vids. We only had the Impreza down as the GTR is still in bits.







Vids: (some with rear cam overlays)

Are you running the spacers with the new wider wheels? How do you find them on the track?

I have been wanting to widen the front of my car but nervous about the spacers...

EMB - Who the hell is Andy LOL

Hubcentric spacers are from a company called 'Performance Car Shop'. They are on EBAY and their site is http://www.performancecarshop.co.uk/

Graham - yup, running 9" wide wheels (et23) + 16mm spacers. Overall grip is great when tyres are working but the car has lost a bit of its nimbleness/flickability.

Was out on track again today. Managed a 61sec lap of KH in the damp, 64 in proper wet which was surprising given the lack of tread on the tyres.

Will upload vids later

good times. Have you a wider track kit on now or just wider wheels and spacers?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvOqyg2-ijE - Footatge includes McBride, Matty/Mike, Eric, Iain in the audi, drifting starlet , Jame in the wagon and more. Watch Eric have a 'moment' in the rear camera around 12:39. A wee lockup into hairpin at 7:05 followed by a bit of a lairy slide exiting the hairpin :S Clipped the apex cone for duffis at 7:29, BIG lockup into hairpin at 8:13 but managed to scrub the speed off just enough to stay right on the edge of the track

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCbPlQ1I5RY - Dave driving Impreza for the first time, and first time on Knockhill alltogether. 70sec lap!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATe2gSF4n5s - couple of 61sec laps in this with Mike chasing in Mattys EVO IV. Has datalog overlay

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9gJz16R-qM - Fee driving, Simmie in the passenger seat Super smooth compared to me! Craigy in the astra

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2xeHoqTQFQ - wet! Flaming red corrado, madmax escort, black VX220 - getting slippier towards the end Red Elise beached at bottom of Duffis at end.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDhB40yq4tg - Wet and very slippy, Matty in Pas seat. Some very bizzare lines through duffis as the front was just drifting out :S James Bruce in the white VII, VTEC Mini, wobble into hairpin at 3:26, RS4, lairy hairpin slide at 5:53, Iain in the 90, rear lockup into McIntyres at 7:26, moment on exit of chicane at 7:41, rear lock up at 7:46 into carlube. Phew.

Looking good Adam!! I see what you mean about the hand waving With pesky evo owners on the track though, it cant be helped

When the better weather comes I'll be getting back up to Knockhill!! Mind you I'll have to finish my big engine build first. See you on track sometime soon!!
