Jamie_GRMN 177 Report post Posted August 31, 2014 Where are people staying? I'm thinking about it. There is a Premier inn at Darlington which I guess is where most people will be, it was only 50quid a night as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smudge 1020 Report post Posted August 31, 2014 I've decided to give it a miss due to the quiet track day on Saturday It's a long, long, long way to come just for 1 day. I could justify it if I would make the track day but doesn't look likely with such low noise levels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GT86Jay 202 Report post Posted August 31, 2014 Too far for me to go for just the single day. Again would have made the effort if I could attend the track day too. but 88dB is going to be to risky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chopper602 21 Report post Posted September 1, 2014 Looks like just me and Stan on Saturday Alec I might pop over for a look on Saturday and probably Sunday too. Only 20 mins down the road. (Although after visiting Anglesey Circuit over the weekend, I'd like to try a track day with the GT86 there . . .) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 458 Report post Posted September 2, 2014 Did think about entering this, but United are at home that day Is the track day still a pretty much no go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob275 1817 Report post Posted September 2, 2014 The track day is doable for standard cars, some aftermarket exhausts are literally on the limit and its not worth most of us wasting the journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie_GRMN 177 Report post Posted September 2, 2014 Where are you staying jamie? Probably at home as I'm not far away when I'm at the mothers, but if theres a good group of people going I may stay, the premier inn at Darlington was only 51quid for the room is almost worth it for the fuel saving and extra lie in in the morning. That Premier Inn is what was posted up on the TSS site so would expect a fair few to be there, and its about 15mins down the road from Croft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stan Hawrylak 23 Report post Posted September 3, 2014 I'm touch and go for the Croft weekend. Oil leaking from my baffle plate. Discussing with the dealer on whether it's covered on the warranty - even though they tell me it's known issue. Also have heat cracks on my oem discs. Need some stoptechs fitted - not much time left now! Haversack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Special K 442 Report post Posted September 3, 2014 Stan - really sorry to hear that.. have you got the std sump or the deep one? Is it merely a new gasket? I presume it's the front rotors that have heat cracks - that's gotta be a warranty claim as well, I would have thought.. Spec K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie_GRMN 177 Report post Posted September 3, 2014 I've booked it tonight 63 quid Ahhh its 54 for the one which you can't amend anything on... will probably book that when I assess the money side Stan - really sorry to hear that.. have you got the std sump or the deep one? Is it merely a new gasket? I presume it's the front rotors that have heat cracks - that's gotta be a warranty claim as well, I would have thought.. Spec K If the baffle plate is a known issue it should still be covered by warranty even if a different sump is fitted. The rotors having heat cracks won't be as the car has been used on track and different pads have been used, takes the blame away from a manufacturing fault unfortunately.

keelerad 256 Report post Posted September 3, 2014 If you use different pads I can understand them being iffy about warranty coverage, they can't guarantee there won't be issues with pads that they haven't tried. I'm in the same boat as have now got EBC yellow stuff front and rear (but not the cracked rotors, yet ) Alec Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie_GRMN 177 Report post Posted September 4, 2014 Hotel booked now as well, decided a few beers and a bit of a longer lie in in the morning was worth it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan Hawrylak 23 Report post Posted September 5, 2014 I'm not trying to get the brakes done on the warranty. They've taken a beating so it's a fair cop. Want to get the stoptechs on now. Problem is, Adrian has them waiting for me, but dealer has been prevaricating over the oil leak I have. Whether it's covered etc. Thankfully Nigel Charman from Toyota (also runs the GT4 race car) has kindly stepped in to smooth things over so they will cover it. But I've lost a week over that so they've got next week to sort it. Adrian thinks it's the cam plate which is known issue (apparently) and an easy fix. He's even offered to fix himself but he's 120 miles away. Can't risk driving that far with an oil leak. I'll just have to hope that the dealer pulls their finger from out of their asshole and gets it done in time. This means I'll be stuck with more OEM discs since there won't be time to get up to Fensport to get the the stoptechs fitted. Unless.... if I had the stoptechs couriered to the dealer, would they fit them??? 1 Keethos reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
