Silverstone TA report

Another good day so the TOM’s IS350 compressor lop 6 seconds off last years time (in the Aristo V300).

Final time was 1.16.406 which was still off the pace but I’m 100/250 bhp off most other cars as well as having standard suspension and running fully trimmed (my choice)

Some pics and video below

As ever thanks to kami for letting me risk my daily driver…….Chris & Mark from LOC for pit help during the day.

My Sponsors

TOM’s for the car compressor

JUN-TW for the anti roll bars and BBK

Wheels inmotion for the geometry

J&N Electrical for all the electrical work at my workshop

Charlesworth Motors for all the dirty bits

Some pics

In the garage

on my way

120 mph down the straight

Braking hard from 125 mph on back straight

Preparing to get her ready for the trip home (wheels were red hot after 15 minutes…..)

EVO after meeting the pit lane wall (driver was OK)

Some video of the final part of my qualifying run. I’d come in after 6 minutes as the Toyos R888’s had gone off resulting in a sideways moment. Think this was when I did my fastest lap

will post more pics as and when they are ready.

I’m not at TA at Oulton Park as I’m at the Lexus Owners Club Euro meet in germany……..with a day at the Nurburgring then 3 days in Paris………..my next one is Brands Hatch

Glad you had a good time Dave, car looks great (apart from those crappy k sport stickers) I know there a must due to sponsorship of the series though.

Did you see any of the drifting, it was meant to have been really really good, DW boys took the S15 with the 2jz in for its first outing and some rwd scoobies from the land of the rising sun.

I'll be at the next few T/A and EDC rounds as im off for summers hols after this week so give me a shout if you need any help at any of the rounds.

Was looking at that Evo on hes website the other day, it looks pretty standard from the outside, but its kicking out over 600hp and near 700 on race fuel, crazzzzzzy

Was a great day out, met some friendly people from TOC, watched some good racing, very enjoyable. Too bad so few from the LOC came as it would have been a great meet!

Acceleration definitely improved, I didn't have to work the engine so hard anymore to go fast, but until another dyno tells me my AFR is sorted going to take it easy for a while
