Bit of an update for everyone.

I've spoken to ClubMSV again and as it looks like we'll fall short of the 10 people required for a discount, we'll have to go ahead and book up individually.

Can everyone go here and book directly for the afternoon PM session on Wednesday 1st December (£75).
http://www.clubmsv.com/car-home/even...?productid=626

There are currently 13 spaces available but they are open to the public so first come, first served etc.


When booking, the website asks you where you heard about the trackday event. Please select 'Club Website/Forum' then 'Other' and add 'South East Scoobies' like below:

http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...ve_ppp/msv.jpg

Please remember:
- Its a 3hr open pit so come in and out as much as you like.
- 105db noise limit (most people will be fine with this)
- Novice session (max 3 track days experience)
- Brands can supply helmets and driver training at additional cost (added options when booking online).
- Sort some trackday insurance out - better the be safe than sorry!

Officially... No, not a chance!

In reality... It depends how busy they are, how much they want your money and how much they feel like fudging the results from the db meter! :)

Not sure what system you have but most people earlier in the year were reading lower than they expected. Only the loudest of cars failed (and nobody who had paid their money failed).

Daft thing is i had mine measured at Goodwood and then at Brands, the readings were completely different. So you'll only know 100% if you get it checked by Brands themselves.

Nuts. Said to the other half about it this morning after reading on here last night.
She suprisingly gave me the thumbs up to get a new crash hat and she said she'd pay for the day too!! Result.

Bloody Team Ice system. I'm sure a few years ago (Anger may remember this) at Japfest we tested my car and it only read 98.5dB . But..........having said that that was on the OE headers and VF35.

My sports cat helps but not sure? Not as loud as a full classic on decat with the same system.

Steve

Anger 18-11-2010 09:44 AM

That wasnt at 5500 rpm tho

Hongkongfooi 18-11-2010 10:46 AM

still waiting for new Pagids before commiting i'm afraid.

scooby doo 18-11-2010 11:00 AM

I am unsure on this,I would like to but as only running stock unchipped ecu id have to turn the boost back to factory setting and i dont see me keeping up at all with 240-260bhp

I run only 250bhp on a heavy newage (standard WRX PPP) and still had a massive hoot at the last one we did :mrgreen:

And theres not a massive difference on a track between a 250 and 350bhp car round Brands, as the straights not that long.

If thats the case, my gut feel is still that you'd be ok. But obviously its a risk and up to you mate.

Last time they read most cars well below what everyone was expecting....

105db on a good day with a following wind ( and the bung in)!! Well below the 118db Martyn measured it at (hence my comment about 'how much they want your money'!) without the bung.

But I still have a backbox... Steve doesn't. I'd be surprised if it was quiet enough mate but until it's tested with their meter on the day you won't really know.

Well up for this too.

Steve, did you call Gary? Just wondering how much it was going to cost!

Moley_WRX 20-11-2010 07:50 PM

Only 2 of the companies we use offer track day cover - unfortunately the company i put you with don't do it.

Go onto www.moris.co.uk and you can buy one day track cover, normally works out to be £70ish

Steve_PPP 20-11-2010 11:57 PM

Gary - assume i'm with the same company as before so track cover isn't a problem for me?

Will give you a bell in the week :ok:

kartingsteve 21-11-2010 01:31 PM

Gray am I thinking I,m ok for track inc as last year I stayed with the same one if so can you sort it .

Moley_WRX 21-11-2010 04:56 PM

Steve and Steve - you're both ok with the companies you're with

Scooby Si 21-11-2010 06:12 PM

Gary, if I decided I wanted to come and play (am I with one the companies that does track cover and) when would you need to know by to get it sorted??
