VAD17

Not sure we fit the bill for the autumn classic breakfast but the autumn motorsport day sounds possible.  I tried to book a club display at that event last year, but they did not return my email.

Brooklands - and maybe park next to Concorde!!

Maybe we could take a trip to Brooklands or Denbies vineyard in Surrey perhaps? 

Hope you all had a great summer and it was really good to see many of you at shows, track days and social events.😁
Just thinking what events we may want to do/ organise for the rest of the year.
We have
Fuel Coffee House meet tomorrow and Yakushi Show next weekend,
but here are few more potential events to think of:
Sunday, Sep 29th: Jap Show Finale at Santa Pod

Sunday, Oct 6th: TRAX at Silverstone

(I know many people don't like TRAX 🙄)
Sunday, Oct 6th: German vs Jap Bfast Meet at Ockham Bites
Saturday, Oct 12th: Action Day Finale at Castle Combe
https://castlecombecircuit.co.uk/shows/action-day-finale
(we don't usually have many people interested in Castle Combe events)
I am also doing track days at Thruxton on Monday Sep 30th and Silverstone on Saturday Nov 16th if anyone would like to join (both with Opentrack)
Club track day at Bedford last year was popular, we can do it again, good for those who want to try track days for the 1st time (although check your noise level). May be wet (and cold) but its getting reasonably inexpensive.
Would be great to hear wishes and suggestions!😎

So we had 14 GT/BRZs and one Prelude attend our first meet at this great venue.  We will be back again!  Thanks to you all for attending, including Lee all the way from Essex, and Annie all the way from London.

It was indeed a good day, we should do it again, good to have couple GT86s and practice in safe and friendly environment.

I have not received my confirmation yet, but yes - last time we did not need helmets either

I'd like to go. 90% sure I can make it.

Had an awesome day at Bedford yesterday with @willclarke and @will300. Car was absolutely faultless even in the near 30° heat and it was me giving out way before the car! 
Oil temps never got over 116° even after an 8 lap stint. Running with the bonnet vents open seems to be good for around a 10° reduction in oil temperature as @will300 was running around 10° higher than me and we have the same oil cooler.
The pfc.08 pads were absolutely faultless - stopping power was incredible, pedal feel was really good and they showed no sign of fade. Will gave me some caliper temperature stickers which showed the calipers were getting plenty warm but still no sign of fade 

The AD08RS's were also excellent with fantastic grip and minimal wear in the high temperatures although even they went off a bit after about 3 laps in the high afternoon temperatures. 
Schroth Asm 3 harnesses were also really good and gave a really nice sense of connection to the car. 
Couple of random pictures from the day

Looks like we should have 5 to get the discounted price (but not if we have less).

Waiting for Tegiwa to confirm "all in" price. It will be in USD and while its the same order each of us will pay separately if we decide to proceed.

Btw- my back of the envelope math was off as custom duties were not included and VAT will be on cost including shipping, but lets see what the total will be and make a decision accordingly.

Will start a new thread as soon as I get info from Tegiwa

A wet start !

But the presence of a club teeshirt sends the clouds away!
 

What a neat line up!

 

15+ track days and 3 sets of pads actually make me think those disc have done well to survive so much abuse. I've been in your car and there is reason you added the harnesses.

Up for a front splitter! Been looking at one for the last couple of days and Verus looks good.

Count me in to, sounds like a bit of a steal tbh.

Tegiwa price is $ 1,282 +VAT (excl shipping) for Ventus, same price as directly from Verus.
If we get 5-10 sets, they can offer each for $1,090 (plus shipping and VAT), that's £ 1,080 inclusive of VAT (at today's exchange rate) but excluding delivery.
Ventus 1 package includes:
- A0001A Street Front Splitter
- A0004A Race Upgrade
- A0012A/ A0003A - Aggressive/ Non-aggressive Rear Diffuser
- A0016A - Rear Suspension Cover
I think front splitter end plates also would be a good addition.
I have asked Tegiwa to check that delivery price would be if we get 5 sets and assume we can arrange single garage to fit it all at reasonable price.
Just wonder if there would be enough interest for 5 sets - who would be up for it?
