The first one is a bit of everything throughout the day; the second one is the "other side" of Mark's, plus a session with his girlfriend in the passenger seat; and finally a couple of clear laps. Enjoy
@DesmoBen, around 6:30 in the first one, one tail-happy mini driven properly
Brilliant footage. Love the note of that Honda.
If you go to 7.11 in the first clip - you can see just where said tail happy mini starts to get driven very improperly!
Fighter pilot reaction time there from you Sven... Sorry I got in your way... But more importantly- Many Thanks for not T'boning me
@svensktoppen would you recommend doing kirky in a civic without a baffled sump?

No bother, saw it coming all the way from Fisherman's and kept my distance
The guys behind me were worse off and had to detour over the grass by the tyre walls, lol. These things happen, no biggie. Great seeing that wee mini dance, must be serious fun svensktoppen

No idea to be honest, have one in mine just to be on the safe side, but no idea how effective they are. Or not. Depends on the car, and more importantly on tyres. On road tyres, it should be fine. On sticky tyres, probably best to put a baffled sump in.
@AIRFORCE1 or any of the Civic racers probably have better advice.

Should be grand if you keep the oil topped up just above the max, with the k20 the baffling is more important at the timing chain side of the sump to stop the oil climbing up the chain and away from the pickup at constant high revs. I use a Mugen baffled sump on my k20 and the only baffling is around the timing side
We ran the b series civics with no sump baffles for around 2 years at kirkistown with no issues
Yeah heard it should be grand on road tyres. Told to top it up above full on the dipstick as @StephenDc2 says.
May get myself booked in for a session soon then, cheers

Ooooh, that should be interesting indeed
I probably would stick a baffled sump on it then, just in case

Turbo's, super chargers, nitrous ...........lol it will all ends in tears. No problem, when you are the fastest guy on the track ....but when somebody edges past you and u just can't keep your foot off the loud peddle and you hold onto that gear a little longer or change down just a tad early, then.....BANG!

Many thanks for the link
@Marc did you sell your Clio by any chance, (really nice and well prepared car that), any plans for a new track weapon (assuming you did sell it).
This is starting to get complicated
I did indeed, sad to see it go to be honest, but got a few other things going on at the min but will be back next year with something bigger and better
