My money's on the forester to do a better lap than the gts-t :thumbsup:

Will hold you to that Dan!!
Sure why not bring the golf up for the day also!!
 
I had the golf out at a private trackday!
SOOOOOOOOO boring compared to the other two cars!
Grand on the straights and great on the brakes (audi tt 225 brakes) but boring through the bends!
I found myself scandinavion flicking her in to the bends to overcome initial under steer put she pulls straight instantly when you get back on the power(300lb/ft) and then understeers! It's all very safe and predictable!
She doesn't let you left foot brake because the power dies if you have your foot on the throttle and brake at the same time!
And if you use traction control (ESP: electronic stablity program) then as soon as any wheel becomes unsettled she applies brakes to which ever wheel it needs to to regain grip! which is all very clever but it slows you down soooo much :doh:
Basicly she's a great road car for all of the above reasons! eg. when you are on a tight road with little or no space to slide around then the ESP is a life saver! but on track it's a major hinderence!
But with out ESP the car just understeers to easily
If i was going to track it again I'd get camber adjustable front suspension and a seriously tight rear anti roll bar! but she is my work car so I'll leave the track to the skyline and forester!

might take a spin down that way, seen the vid of u on track , wouldnt mind seeing the live show as she is rather a tasty ship u are piloting , if i don t make it , have a bookin fall !!!
 
Hello Dan,

Unless you bring me as passenger  :thumbsup:

Cheers,

Michael
 
sorry to break away from the thread but dan's forrester is mentioned in modified motors :clap: :clap:
fair play dan ur deadly machine deserves the admiration :worship: :thumbsup:
 
i'll b there all booked in for the full day d prelude is over in finglas at the moment get a make over feel free to drop over and say hello roll on monday
 
ye dan ill be up the on monday, just watchin, i left to much rubber on the track the last time. im around if you need any help :subaru:
 
The porsche brakes are bedding in nicely! I'm being gentle with them for the weekend and I'll give her a good roasting on sunday to make sure she's ready for track! If it's a nice day tomorrow i'll take a few pics of her!
I'll start the skyline aswell, hasn't been running since the last trackday! new mintex 1155 pads going in and she'll be ready to roll! :headbanger:
See you's down there!
Dan
 
No no no!!!!! :noway:
Not in a bad way!!! :pray:
I was fitting the new front pads to the skyline today and I thought I had better check the rear pads for the craic! And sure enough they were nearly down to the metal :shock: so at 12 20 this afternoon I started ringing around all the motor factors in kildare and no one had a set of pads to suit! :cry: finally fergal allen(motor factors in newbridge) rang me and said he had found a set in a neighbouring motor factors for me :thumbsup: But they close at 1pm ( it was now 12.45) so I drove like the wind ( the wind drives fast) from sallins to newbridge and got there in time! So the porsche brakes are well run in and I'll take the skyline out for a "quick" spin tomorrow and they should both be grand!!
Does anyone have gerry cans that they could bring some E5 down to mondello with them??
My wifey usually does petrol runs for me but she's pregnant now and she can't be lifting gerry cans in and out of cars!!
I'd really appreciate any help! I'd need about 60 letres ( on top of the 60 I'm bringing plus the full tank!!!!!)
Dan
