Hi as most will have seen, I recently bought Dans track coupe, after fitting some new calipers/wheel bearing and changing all the fluids, I felt I deserved some fun!!

Took it to Knockhill for a shakedown, needs a few tweaks for my liking but otherwise quite happy, removed all the interior too as pointless dragging all that weight around!

Cheers again Dan
Ps I was about to hunt the Porsche down but was black flagged as boot was open!!

First time with the coupe on track
Quick shakedown to see what needs improved!!

cool thumb Dan's old coop is a quick old Coop.
I saw it at Spa Francorchamps in Belgium a couple of times.

So the shakedown revealed a new boot lid catch needed then laugh

Or check that the spring on the lower lhs of the catch is still attached, or even "there" - it'll stop the mechanism gripping if not.

Ha ha, nothing wrong with the mechanism, I popped the boot and forgot.
Shakedown shows brakes and suspension needs work!

That video sounds very familiar John.

All that's missing is some random yabbering conversation!
