hi guys ... yes it was track day fun today for the omega..!!!!
started @ 6.30am by checking fluid levels etc etc.... filled her full of unleaded and off i went!!!
morning session went without a hitch.... only changes since last time were i had 235/40/17's front and 245/40/17's rear.. instead of 225/45/17's on 8.5in rims :-/... which if you remember last time ended in tears after my mate popped one off the rim!!!.
once again was held up on corners by all sorts of cars 07 plate scooby sti, sierra cosworth etc etc..... only things that past me all day was a supercharged lotus elise, and a clit cup car... as a few of them came up todayfor test sessions to set up their cars.......

BUT.......... after plenty of sideways action... 3/4 tank of fuel in 78 miles....... i started to bomb down the straight as i braked there was an almighty bang and nearside front wheel locked up

tyre smoke everywhere and lots and lots of funny noises.......
parked up jumped out to find......... front mount of lower arm had no bolt in it....!!!! it had come out!!!!!!!!!
peeled my wing open like a can, and pulled my plastic sill trim off!!!!! the wheel was wedged hard up against the bulk head so wasn't going anywhere!!!!:o
the marshal ran over handed me the bolt and said "this fell off mate" NO SH*T!!!!!! ha ha ha
what i have failed to mention is the friday before as in yesturday my car was in a garage getting 2 lower front arms fitted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO WHO FORGET TO TIGHTEN THEM UP THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
as you can imagin im not happy!!!!!!! it could of happened at top whack on back straight at 120mph+...
so im going to ring them momday and see what they say... yes i paid cash and no recipt.... BUT EVEN SO!!!!!!
but apart from the miss hap................... bloody good day
and you guys should really come down to one of them!!!!!!!
