MadManMike Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I'm not fitting them to make my track times better, I'm fitting them because my current ones are totally shagged If you took my car out for a drive you'd see what I mean.

stoozie Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Took loads of photos, but realised I'm rubbish at motor sport photography. A few turned out ok though! Still have all the footage to go through off my GoPro over the weekend. Thanks to everyone who gave me a few laps in their cars though, had an awesome day! And thanks to Mike P for driving me there. All the photos below are uploaded to a dropbox at full res, so feel free to use them as you want, link: http://goo.gl/xwS7n5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I can't get the whole "motion" thing in my photos, so I usually go for higher shutter speed shots instead. I need to practice more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to go with that on most of mine and they came out like a blurred mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Trick is to use manual focus, pre-set it to a point on the track you know the car will be going past and then follow the car all the way. Auto-focus tends to get terribly confused... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete.M Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Don't throw money at a generally unsuitable car I have a problem. That's what I love doing. I don't know, it amuses me for some reason. I completely see the irony there. I guess I have to accept that whatever I put together will be a compromise of sorts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Just ordered a new master cylinder, a new servo, new braided hoses and a new rear bias valve. God damn bottomless pits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_seamons Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Surely that all cost about 50p though?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 What an awesome day. Thanks Adam and Luke for organising it, and thanks Adam for letting me have a play in the MX-5, you're an absolutely legend for being so happy to let other people use your car like that, I'm sorry about the tyres! The 406 was a laugh if nothing else, and was genuinely better than I expected, at least it didn't just understeer off the course at every opportunity like I thought it would! It was great to meet everyone and put faces to names, and I'm very keen to do the next one. As for poring money into unsuitable cars, I'm painfully aware of how bad an idea it is, and yet it's somehow hugely appealing. I think I'm broken. I'm definitely someone who finds tinkering to be half the fun though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 The Tarty Vs Jardo race was absolutely the highlight of my day.

I've never been so keen to look at a stopwatch in all my life, lol. Need more o that next time.
