Well i had a great time at Oulton Park, a few scary moments as well lol
im tring to get my videos off my phone at the moment but having a few issues i didnt allow access to my phones photos from the optrix video pro app so now have to email and find a program that can open them and im no tech geek so ill probably fill my laptop with viruses lol.
It was a very damp track which meant very slippy but after a few goes round i started to remember where i was going and pick up speed, i had absolutely no turn in grip from my half worn toyos on the front.
Ive got on video a few laps chasing around behind a DC5 integra he said he had coilovers and a skunk 2 cat back system was also his first time there but by midday we were both flying round, he was better in the corners than me but i was quicker out of them was good fun.
After Lunch i tried swapping my tyres about put the brand new avons on the front and put the daily running budgets that were nearly new on the back big BIG mistake
Spun out complete 360 at Knickerbrook corner i was only doing about 40 mph lol so then i was black flagged for spinning and had to go and talk to the marshalls about what happened. I wasnt the only one tho there were quite a lot of incidents
Ill have pics and videos tomorrow of the track time.
After the track day i headed up to near Leeds to meet a guy from ebay who was selling some ATR brakes i also bought some wheels off him so heres some pics of my winter project

I just need to get the 5 stud hubs off a dying 5th gen and they will be on.

Sounds like you had good fun in the wet. We still have to get a run in damp/wet conditions yet in are track car. As for 17 inch wheels we found that it completely killed the power of are lude compared to the 15s. Really is a big difference in the too. Although u probly need 16/17 for them atr calibres do u

That is a real fun killer :(

The wheel and brakes look good. Did you get the carriers as well?
