Hello guys,
Well this 21st September was the first trackday for me after the turbo install. To be honest, it went pretty well. I was expecting some issues since I knew that those weaknesses were there.
The first was the water temperature. After 2 or 3 laps the water started to get Hot, I knew this would happen, I need to address the ducting but I had no time. No big deal, since I was doing a shakedown on the car setting lap times was no my priority, just having some fun. Also, the weather was crap; sections of the track were wet with little traction.
The other issue that is getting on my nerves is a vibration/noise that comes after left turn corners and when applying throttle, when I load the car suspension it vibrates and judders, if I lift off the throttle and then accelerate again, it stops. I have taken both wheels off, checked everything is tight and cannot understand. I am leaning on a bad driveshaft?!
Anyway, awesome day.
The weather...
And the video. Going really "slow" to just make sure everything was ok.
Part 2 is loading on youtube...

Your instructor sounds hot!
Check that your exhaust isn't rubbing/hitting against anything. I've had it lightly contact the axle shaft (stub axles) and the frame before. Makes a racket under cornering and pretty unnerving until you figure out what it is. Poly hangers and paying attention to getting the exhaust system centered is the cure.

Turbofan - This group was a closed one to a bunch of folks from a car forum . Most of the guys on track I know so we take some liberties and all experienced . But our track days are a lot less civilised than yours, no doubt .
