Rolling Road Day

My local car club organised a Rolling Road Day at Surrey Rolling Road. We have been there many times before, I have always had a different car! I took my IQ along just for a laugh really, and to make up the numbers. Wasnt expecting big power, or even an improvement on standard, just wanted to see how healthy the car was running as I had the new custom exhaut and the induction kit etc.

My car managed to get a max bhp of 75.5HP. Im quite pleased with that, obviously they are meant to be 69HP but as I hadnt had it rolling roaded before the modifications, I cannot accurately say how much they have improved things by. 

Toyota Sprint Series Round 2

I went on my very first trackday with the Toyota Sprint Series, It was Round 2 at RAF Barkston Heath.

Very very enjoyable day out! Jas and I stayed in a hotel on the Saturday night as its a 3hr drive. Everyone was so helpful as I forgot a couple of bits and pieces but that was soon sorted. Lots of people interested in the IQ, Adrian Smith from Fensport even came over to say hello : )

I was in Class F which is for vehicles up to 1000cc Naturally Aspirated. There were 3 other competitors in my class:

Paul - Aygo

Dan - Yaris

Jane - Vitz

Us lot together!

They were really good fun and very helpful, even though its a competition they still help eachother out with ideas and advice on how to get the best from eachothers cars. They gave me a few ideas for mine as well!

My first practice lap was 1:25. By the end of the day I had got this down to 1:18 which im pleased with. My letdowns were my wheels, Im on 17s, the others in my class are on 14s and also the fact I had my full interior, the others in my class are stripped out.
