andyelcomb Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Very, very standard and old (230000km) Mk1 S-Spec MX5 (Eunos) handled beautifully at Brands on Monday, thanks to the guys at WIM that had set it to their fast road spec a while back. Others were there with sticky trackday tyres and lowered suspension, but didn't appear to be any quicker in the corners. Front left tyre showed quite a bit of graining by the end of the day (195/50/15 Toyo Proxes T1-R) which doesn't surprise me considering they have a lot of grooves and the rubber will walk about and it did have just a smidgeon of understeer when pushed hard, but its set to a road spec, not a circuit one and I'm quite happy with that. Others managed to spin at Druids and down Paddock - how the heck they managed that I'll never know! Ok, standard 1.6 power makes it hard to upset the rear, but I don't think they can have had all that much more. Some VERY interesting lines (or lack of) were taken at Surtees and round Clearways too.

hms Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Andy, you at Brands on the 2nd With MoT? I'll be there in the Hornet, if you are there make yourself known. (Probably easier to spot a stickered 5 than a black S Special!) h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyelcomb Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 I might be there, but stupidly waited too long before I put my entry in and then found it was full so unlikely to have the car on track. However if I find myself at a loose end I might come along to say hello. Hope the weather stays fine! ps, apologies for the oversized first pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
