track

Hey all, a friend of mine has bought to my attention a novice only track day at Oulton park with MSVT. Im really interested in going, it will be my first time on track. Now my main question is the brakes on my C55. Its probably going to need new pads on the back and the discs look like there...

Hi folks Checked the W211 out at the weekend as it's due an MOT next month. Few things wrong at the front, upper/lower ball joints, track control arm, and track rod ends (mixture of wobbly joints & burst gators). Went ahead today and replaced the offending parts, upper ball joints, control...

Hi all, I've done quite a bit of rooting around without much success, hence this thread. I wish to use the car for maybe four trackdays each year. What pads are people recommending for track use? I previously used a Ferrari 360 for track work. I suspect it will prove to have been the far...

Short video from today at Woodbridge..great fun and a different experience for me. I'm used to FWD and really focused track spec on a car, the 507 was just hilarious at every corner. I know I could have feathered the throttle more and fed the power in and certainly carried a lot more pace all...

I'm just a few days into my C Class Estate (W205) experience and loving it after 3 years with a W204 Coupe. I'm over most of my initial 'how to' issues but today was faced with an annoying one. In my W204, when listening to music either via iPod (media interface) or bluetooth audio to...

As a bit of a techno phobe, with a new C class complete with command due soon. I am after some advice on music track naming and organisation for the hard drive and the usb's. This will be my first car with more than a CD player and I am not an iPod user so have no experience with MP3 files etc...

Hey all, My tyres on the back are down to 4mm so I'm looking to replace them soon for something a little more orientated to track use. Now, currently I have Michelin Pilot Sport 2s (PS3 on the front) and was going to get the Super Sports until I discovered the Sport Cup 2 on MyTyres. I...

Hi, I have already run this through a few people I know here, but just throwing this out there for interest. There are now 8 people, 5 from this forum going out on Sunday September the 13th, via the tunnel and a long leisurely cruise down to an English owned hotel on the borders of Bordeaux...

Hi I've just come back from a deflating track day experience.... My first track day in my car... (2009) Having completed 4 hot laps, allowing everything to warm up first of course. On the next lap I get black flagged! White smoke coming from my car and dropping oil. On inspection, we cannot pin...

Just wondered if anyone had tried this from what I can see for £199 you can take someone else's SL 63 around for an hour.

Simply awesome. From the article: 289 hp is serious for a 2.5L 4-cylinder, as eclipsing the 100hp/L ratio is always a mark of distinction for naturally aspirate engines, particularly from 30 years ago. USA-spec cars never got the 2.5L, and certainly none of the other modifications shown...

Greetings. can anyone lend some assistance. I have just purchased a new track rod for the drivers side of the c180 we have. Its the W203 model. the problem is that the one supplied is incorrect compared to the one that's already fitted. The curve in the casting goes the opposite way. All the...

Hoping that some of you could lend a bit of advise. My C63 started pulling to the left the other week and I was having to hold the steering wheel to the right to counter act, thus meaning the car is always "turning". I have been to 2 different places now and they have adjusted around 5 times...

I'm planning to do some Track days in the New Year. I'm no stranger to the track on 2 wheels, but a complete novice on 4 (!), so I'll be after some tuition to get me started. How many of you do Track days? and what tyres would you recommend for a fat lardy SL63 weighting in at just under 2...
