I entered the MSCT Track Day out at Symmonns Plains raceway yesterday and thought id post it here!
The track day went well! Two seconds and a third, and 31st overall (out of 40 cars) the handling was rubbish! The pictures explain the lack of competitivness due to rear ride height.
Its running a 1916cc engine, twin webber 40's, 1200 box and standard drum brakes with 14x6 wide rims and 215/65R14 rims.
Got a set of coils in the back which made it far too high, so will be ordering a set of gas shockers all round, slipping a 1500 box in and ill see how it goes.
Off the mark the car is very very quick, but the brakes and corners killed it. I was saved by a camber compensator though! Best $130 ever spent!
Will also be looking at upgrading to disc front brakes. It willl make the car a better daily!
Apart from that the car pulled a top speed of oil-light, Nearly 100mp/h im thinking, and overall a great day!

Biggest claim to fame was shitting all over the CooperS!
