You're welcome Burnsy Did I meet you at Japfest? Can't remember... Either way if you want a hand doing some spanner work and saving yourself a bit of a garage bill, i'm more than happy to come and give you a hand, or you can bring your car round to my garage! My mate and I gave my S the full works a few weeks ago (every oil and filter and fluid changed!) so I now know my way around the S reasonably well, and brake bleeding is pretty easy!

I just noticed the price goes up by a fiver per session after 11am, presumably because they know you'll be going round in front of all the punters! Cheeky sods. I'm potentially going to look to book the 11am experienced slot and the 1.30pm experienced slot - does that work for anyone else? Like I said happy to go out in a novice session with everyone else if thats the general opinion!!

I have a reply:

On the day, track time will not be discounted, and the reduced track time price will be increasing end of next week to an extra £5, so I would advise booking asap.

What you doing about track day insurance?

Childsy

Hi Matt, where's your garage? Also do you need a helmet? What track insurance do you use? And finally, have you booked a ticket on the s2kuk stand?

Matt1783

I'm in Basingstoke mate - Not far from you at all!

You absolutely will need a helmet, but the track will have them for hire if you don't have / can't borrow your own. Usually helmet hire is around a tenner I think, may be different. Passenger bands are a fiver.

In terms of insurance... Honestly, I wouldn't bother. You're more likely to have an accident on the way to or from the track than you are to come off on the day, if you're careful and have your wits about you in terms of other drivers, you'll no have an issue Usually the prices for track insurance are prohibitively expensive and the excesses can be enormous!

Booking my tickets tonight, was waiting on a reply from everyone re: track time first

Childsy

Thanks for the advice Matt I need to book track time really!

Childsy

Come on people, book your tickets using S2kUk code please! Need a good turnout! Don't want to be out numbered by the likes of the 350z's and DC5's again!

Doyal

Just waiting to see if my friends having a stand, otherwise will book.

Matt, yeah it was me and you chatting before we both left Japfest. I managed to get out via the tunnel too by following a GTR through the fences!

Yeah I'll be keen for an S2000 garage day, maybe before JDM? I am Weston super Mare so we can make a day of it if Aaron wants to join and cruise on down?
Will gladly sort you out some cash if you want to have a look at the brake fluid for me? I'm 99% sure it hasn't been done in the last 12 months.

Also, someone asked about a helmet? I will be taking mine up, if I dont go out on track your more than welcome to borrow it, its a midget size one for a pea head though! lol

Matt1783

Yeah sure mate we can sort a garage day out, no problems! If you and Aaron want to pop over there's plenty of parking at my place and I've got quite a few tools, lots of detailing stuff, etc Don't need to sort me out any cash fella - glad to be able to help other forum members out!

AMBurnsy

Fair play, ice creams are on me if the sun is out at JDM then!
Drop me a Whatsapp message mate and we can review a day when Childsy is free if he is up for it too?
