24 hrs of Spa

DesertPenguin09 · Jul 25, 2015

Just got up a little while ago and turned on F1 qualifying. How's Spa?

Had great fun at the trackday yesterday. There were quite a few fully track prepared cars along with out and out race cars on track so my little standard Clio was a little bit out of its depth pace wise at times but it was still a bundle of fun the driving standards and courtesy were top notch.

Here's a video taken from a quick little supercharged Mk1 MR2 which followed me for a while. My engine was running poorly at the time as I had a bit of a misfire after some water made its way to a spark plug following my silly decision to clean the engine bay the night before a trackday! :dunce:

Thankfully it cleared up before the end of the morning session and was running sweetly for the rest of the day.

My car only features during the first 7 minutes of the video before I let him by when the car was spluttering a bit more.

Some pics:

Very wet and under safety car for unsafe conditions

DesertPenguin09 · Jul 25, 2015

Damn that sucks, but it's back now and that onboard guide with the #23 GT-R was very cool.

Just a reminder, no spoilers for Spa or Hungarian GP please!

I know there is a "like" button - where is the "Love it!" button? I like the look of the track layout as well.

Great looking track - I really liked the turn signal use for giving a pass, and what looks like asking for a pass? Or is it indicating you ARE going to pass the car? Either way - very civilized.

The Clio is MR isn't it? I wish there were more MR hatch style cars here in the states.

Thanks for sharing!

Getting the new family hauler tomorrow - I likee!

2015, The basic 4 door S model with the Performance Package (Mechanical slip diff, a couple of extra ponies).

I'll get the APR Stage 1 ECU work done in a week or two after some track days in the prettier, older, and more beloved non-family hauler.

Now I have to figure out what small mods I want to make - sway bars, and a few others - just for the sake of hauling around... kids, groceries, or even 'hauling' around the occasional wet track or autocross course... :lol:

I was really wrestling with the new 4 door 'hardtop' Cooper S, but the VW won me over, although it was closer than I expected. Both are pretty fun little cars.

The Clio was MR for the next generation but I want to say that one is FF.

I have our version of this car and it's a blast. You'll not be bored with it.
There's a few parts you can plug in with minimal work that make it go a bit more as well, once you want to extract some more speed out of it.

Nice. I wouldnt push the 1.8 to hard.. Shocks/Struts/Springs, and sway bars will do more than what just power will do..

STEAMER62 · Jul 25, 2015

I agree with @GTP_Vertigo , @Handlebar , lol, like no tune and ABS 1, and always fasten your sealtbelt, use your turn signal and be a safe driver, HAHAHA, We Are Snail 👍

2.0 liter turbo with 220 hp before ECU tuning.

I am more focused on the handling than power, I really have learned about that. The basic ECU remap is really a good idea - much more hp, and better mileage. Win-win. I need to become better edumacated on what other minor things I need to do for handling.

The deal maker / breaker was turning off as many 'nannies' as I could, then see what the car was like.

VW salesman was cool, only panic-grabbed the handholds twice. Didn't curse or cry.

Mini salesman was... More like these guys... (Very nice, great overall, but I think I surprised him)

That video will never not be funny. The gigantic teddy bear ending the video falling to the side is perfect.

As a kid that has recently (a few months ago) passed his driving test, this brings me a tremendous amount of joy. I'd love to take a few driving instructors from the licensing centre and show them how to really drive a car. I wonder how they would react to driving highway speed in a few tight corners! Nice car BTW @Handlebar, Gti or Tdi?

Handlebar · Jul 26, 2015

GTI with performance package, APR Stage 1 (soon).

Howdy everyone, anything more than practice going on tonight? My minecraft server upgrade isnt going so smoothly so I am moving on for he night.

Hey to everyone in D3 and other Divisions, I am sorry to make you guys wait, I was having dinner and SHOULD of told you guys in advance

Only the V6 Clios were MR. They are very noticeable as they have wider wheel arches that I think widen the overall car by more than 8 inches! The one he has is like the 172 in GT6 but a lesser model from what I can tell.

Oh and congrats on the GTI. Great Choice.

The caddy needs to go! The gt500 can go away. I don't care for pushy cars and the McLeran he he he she's just a joy but it's a very hard track to pass!

At least Willow agrees with the Caddy more. It's going to be fun with that treacherous sand waiting to take cars for a spin...

But I agree with Trial Mountain. The McL runs great there, but passing will be challenging.

I work with some serious ****ing children... Left a few minutes early because **** that ****. I need a beer. And some green herbals.

Ah, that's better. And it's in a Batman glass because Batman

Was racing a dude from here earlier - PSN handle went by the name of 'jared_93', cannot for the life of me remember his GTP name though. Were lapping S2000s at Tsukuba where he edged my 1:06.390 with a 1:06.349, was internally screaming at that point. :lol:

He also suggested me to join here - I'm sort of tempted as I have a clean, competitive nature, and I'm intrigued to see how I'd stack up. I'm 15 but I've been told I'm fast, but I have no idea if I should believe them or not. :lol:

Only thing that worries me are the commitments - I have an odd timezone compared to the US (GMT +12), and me having school, I have no idea what sort of times I'd be setting myself up for. I'm definitely interested, even if I will probably get destroyed. :lol:

We start our Sunday night racing at 9:30PM EST which I believe would be 1:30PM Monday afternoon for you. Does that time work for you?

Sadly no. Have school until 3:10 PM, and then have hockey shortly afterwards for the next few weeks. Perhaps in the holidays, but I just got back so they're not for awhile.
