Check out trackskills.co.uk for the days at Kirkistown, have spoken with the guys that run it while doing the race school day up there, good bit of craic outta them, definitively gonna take a run up this year, think its around £70? & you can split that cost between 4 drivers (not for the old S then, lol), hopefully see you up there some time!!


I didnt make it up last sunday. but they charge 105 stg for the day, passengers, spectators and even extra drivers are no extra cost. Its a well run day and they dont put up with any messers on track.. Actually, on sunday, I think they had to stop a session just to take in a messer and ban him from the tack forever more.


Sorry about the £70 thing, the guy was telling me about it while i was screeching the tires off his old mondeo :LOL: but def sounds like a days craic & he did say about zero tolerance with messing, what way do you work with insurance tho, the thing that would worry me is that if you did come off & pile it up is that not only having to fix your own damage but also any damage to the track equipment, not that i intend to wreck all round me of course!!

If you could meet up with another S2000 owner and try to compare them and see where exactly the difference is. I've put a roof on my own so might know how to fix it, then again i might not. :suspect:

Here is a video of my pass down the straight in Mondello at the weekend. There was two of them but ill just leave the one. My driving was slow at best that day lol. I've driving ones as well but they're big so taking ages to upload. Ill post one up here when its done. :thumbup:

Cars & Coffee, Cherrywood Business and Tech. Park, will take place on Sunday morning, March 4th, meeting anytime from 10.30am onwards.
Take exit 16 from the M50, and follow the road to the complex, park up in the large car park opposite the Spar store on the immediate right upon entering the gate.
This venue so far has proven to be a great success, it is quiet on a Sunday morning, with minimal public traffic, and we have the permission and blessing of both the site security, and store owner.
Take care on the approach road to the complex, it is a three lane road, and very easy to break the limit(60km/h) but it is often policed with speed traps.

Hey everyone,

Don't suppose anyone from these parts could kindly refurb my TCT? Will gladly pay a small fee for it :) Mine is displaying the usual rattley symptoms on warm start and is just generally a bit noisy...if anyone knows anyone that can do it for me please let me know.

Cheers
PJ

I've been asked again recently about the Driver Training Day in Mondello.
I've been in touch with Mondello and we are trying to organise a morning session of Driver training followed by a Private open pitlane trackday session in the afternoon.
In order to hold a half day Driver Training session we need a minimum of 10 cars and the cost will be approximately €50*
In order to hold a full day split 50/50 between Driver training and Trackday we need 20 cars and the price will be approximately €150*

I am open to all suggestions regarding inviting other owners clubs to join in and guarantee the required numbers. But I will ask that everyone keep in mind that this will be a training session and the track driving experience will vary greatly across the group. So a little mutual respect will go along way!!

No dates have been set and as mentioned above I'm open to all suggestions

* Exact prices can not be issued until Mondello have received finalised numbers.

Going to agree with the others - weak battery - not being driven everyday shouldnt cause soemthign like this, I think?
Certainly nerver happened on mine - which until about 4months ago, was driven only every couple of weeks for about the previous year.

Although, if the bettery is dying, shoudlnt you be loosing your radio presets/code?

Hi John,

I have my old battery, which I have replaced with a race one. I think its still good, probably about 2-1/2 years old. I can stick it on the trickle charger and you can have it free of charge if you collect it (or at the next c&c)

Hi John,

Let me know when you want the battery. You can collect from Greystones or Clonskeagh.
