It was the best, so many lovely cars, met so many diferent people and the weather was excellent.. hate-cool

They orginsed some awesome activity..There were like high speed bend, slalom and 3 different small circuit track..

I loved the high speed bend.. This was driving down a fast lane quickly and turing at the other end.. First i had no idea how the car would react coz u never going to take a full 90degree turn at 70+MPH.. so i was doing it slowly and the car went through that fine.. And then the craving to go even faster came.. So the next time i floored it and even when i was turning i was still hiting the gas and car spunn.. I never spun it before but it was the best and i think no one is excited about spining thier car like me..lol. Then the intrustors were there telling me what i need to be doing and i got the hang of it... I also noticed that my exhaust pops.. Shocked

Loved it..

Then moved on to the next slalom and it was great fun too.. I just wished my bloody 4WS was working and i would have showed them... Evil or Very Mad

I dont know what i was doin but i kept on loosing control of the car and had to work overtime on the steering wheel to correct the slide... But that was still fun.. And i also managed to get lost on the track.. Hahaha

Then out of no where i had a puncture on the rear tire... Mad

Had to run to the local garage and buy a second hand tyre coz the puncture was not repairable... Shocked

Then rushed back to the Track and carried on with the 3 small circuits and they were brilliant.. I think i was the most shittest driver there Embarassed

but still had so much fun and i think desire to go even faster next time has turned me in to the darkside... Darkside, you lot will see on my next mod to the car.... Twisted Evil

Sorry bit of a read but i think i'm just too excited... Very Happy

Some pics of the day. I couldn't be asked to take lots of pics coz was having to much fun driving so only some pics i managed to take..

A view u never get to see out of you wing mirro.. ATRs and NSX. hate-sbav

OMG the noise in the Ferrari... Shocked

And some Professional photos that Honda on track member took...

I was joking about the Civic Very Happy

I have a Civic (130 bhp in a 1.4 weighing only 865kgs Twisted Evil

) and a Prelude. The Civic boys hate my Prelude though Rolling Eyes

Hey Nitin, that was a great read; sounds like you had a top day mate. Also sounds like you saw another side of your car. Like spinning?! Shocked

Great photos too, especially the action shots of your Lude! Cool

I really want an NSX. Going to start saving I think (bread and gruel for a couple of years, but it'd be worth it!) Very Happy

Looks like a good day Nitin:

The Civic was James and is running a B18C and is pretty quick.

Looks like you had a hoot with all your spinning Laughing

I recognise a few faces there too, Hope to see you at a HOT event soon Nitin. Cool

I thought that looked like James' Civic in the photos there. As said has a B18C in it, also James is a bit good at the old track day malarky. Tried to keep up with him when he had the B16A2 in it. Not easy and I had a stripped BB4.

Which track? Or did I miss that?

It was at NorthWeald Airfield.. Idea

When i spun off it was sooo fun. Embarassed

Don't know if thats a good thing but i loved going backwards into a cloud of smoke and that tyre burining smell.. Very Happy

Hope to see you all sometimes...

My car at the moment is not running at its top performance. The Exhaust is leaking badly from the manifold air so its effected the car's performance badly.. Also the professional guy drove me around in the car and he took it to the limits and he was soo better then me and im quite surprised that our heavy car can do that... Shocked

This is my next mod plans:
- Get 2.5" all the way through with 4" backbox..
- Ditch the 4WS and get 2WS Twisted Evil

- also have other plans but thats a long way...
