Bald bloke arriving in a green camper.....I think we are in the pit-lane team.
So do we park with the general public?So - preferential parking CAN be available if enough of you want it (not just one or two) and you are prepared to commit to being there pretty much all day. But it needs firm commitment in next couple of days if you want to arrange it.
Otherwise it's parking with the general public.
So sign up here asap if you are interested.
A few years ago, there was a pretty young girl showing people into our cars. This event has gone downhill. :tongue3:
both engine mounts have been changed for challenge versions
Who from here is driving and on what day? Care to share any your preparation stories?
I'm driving on the Sunday only.
I've just got my car back from Aldous Voice and in addition to a service, both engine mounts have been changed for challenge versions, rear brakes rebuilt with stainless pistons and new pads at the rear. They're CCM brakes and fronts were rebuilt in 2016 so should be good for another few years before a rebuild.
Worth noting that on one of my rear pads, the brass studs were just starting to become visible, so it was essential the pads were changed. Fortunately mine were not the same height as the pad material so there was no contact with the disc.
Aldous pointed out a much worse example in this recent post.. https://aldousvoice.com/2018/06/14/ferrari-ccm-brake-pads/
We also changed the final 3 ball joints (all uppers) which we hadn't previously renewed.
At some point I'll get a running report posted up!
Definitely doing the Saturday, might be doing the Sunday (booked the hotel Friday and Saturday night) - Ferrari 360 Modena.
My preparation mostly means washing the car. The one thing I did learn the first year though is that blasting around a track all day does cause my front wheel bolts to work slightly loose. So I always take a wheel nut spanner with me and tighten the wheels at lunchtime and the end of the day.
Obviously check oil etc but mine never drops.
I find them absolutely fine. I was warned there may be increased vibration but if anything the NVH is actually less than the standard, aged mounts.How do you find them for NVH? I had them in my car a couple of years back ad I’m not sure if I should swap them out for standard. They’ve settled down a fair amount but I had quite a bit of cabin buzz when first installed.
Idle question in case anybody knows :
Got the final instructions last night, and one thing is a bit odd : Why do we have to wear long sleeved shirts?
Fair enough. But I'm not bringing my DJ :wink3:
I understand there may be some leniency so come prepared for both.
