Cam cover breather oil Steve

Steve, that's bleeding not breathing. How much oil did you use?

That picture is chills car not mine. Mine was not as bad as that but going the same way. I checked my oil at end if day and it was on max. I must've over filled it which I know isn't good and probably added to the problem. I'm considering moving my breather exit higher up.

The car felt great all day, what made a really great difference though was doing the last session without a passenger! It felt like a completely different car, turning in was sharper, cornering was quicker and I was faster along the straights! Loosing weight really is a great mod. I need to drive other vxs really to have a reference to how mine is doing. Was happy with my battle with martin though. Martin wasn't

 

Mark, next time we get a track day together happy to have a swap.  Wouldn't mind a go in your beast and NA for NA power (although mine is doing 160bhp with standard box)

 

Can't help thinking I only kep up with you when you had a pax and I didn't!

I have one of my sessions uploading to youtube as we speak.. well It was set off this morning at 7am...

[Andrew aka Stuwy]

 

my lines are crap, mostly because I was sitting behind other cars so could not go the speed I wanted to also it was my first time to this track... I get some clear track after about 10min. then then I do a drive through penalty because the brake shake was bad so I let it cool off a bit.. was better for 1/2 the lap.. then it was the end of the session

nice video

nice video

 

+1 Great camera position & like the video overlay. What software did you use?

 

You can hear the brake judder at 15:02 (dugga, dugga, dugga...).  

 

Like the BGW on the BMW at 8:49!

 

 

Be good to get an external mic and position it away from the wind next time - Oh and your helmet looks great in the video... (snigger...)

Bring it round mine and I'll whip them out and weld them back up

my helmet always looks good 

 

I have an external mic, but due to the poor weather conditions i had my waterproof case on the Gopro with no cut outs. I did turn the audio down a lot.

Great video and good going there. Funny to think that you and Mbes were put in the 'novice' group.
