ej9 - track it?


You keep saying you dont have any money because you are a student, why dont you get a part time job?
 
haha i do have a part timre job mate. im a doorman at weekends.
but ontop of absolutely insane insurance prices, fuel, paying keep to live at home, it doesnt leave much for myself really.

thanks for the good idea though ;)

i really appreciate all the comments and advice guys, cheers, keep them coming :D
 
any more tracked EJ9's around?
any more idea's on do's and donts for tracking my next EJ9??
 
I took my ej9 onto knockhill and it was awesome. I done it as a stepping stone before hopefully taking my Jordan on this year. Even tho I was not the fastest. It was still great and wanted to do it again. I had cheap tyres that lasted and were still on the car 5k miles later, 30mm lowering springs and harnesses. Apart from that it was standred.

I would go for it mate.
 
Do it man, the adrenaline rush is amazing so much fun, an as everyone said take ya time its for fun not a race, 2nd time i was on track at japfest 1st time in slippy conditions a Scooby was behind me and was hammering it i was just following the lines of the Scooby in front we both let this guy past from behind me as i didn't like his drivin an doubt the one im front did low an behold we come round the s bend after the infamous quarry corner and he's put it in the wall so who had more fun? me for sure as I finished and drove home with no bill to fix my car
 
thanks lads, sound like a really good way to get a buzz.

just take it nice and easy and dont prang my pride and joy! :D

Personally i would check the car over make sure its in good running order then take it to the track before buying spare wheels and brakes or changing the suspension.
Obviosuly if you have the spare cash to do that then go for it.

I used to track my saxo standard before seeing what i needed/wanted and the same with the EK9 i tracked that with **** budget tyres and oem pads before moving onto different tyres and pads.

A standard car can still be fun, it's only when you start finding the limits of the car you need to look at upgrading / changing parts.
A decent driver in a standard car will be quicker/safer round a track than someone whos spent money on their car but has no idea how to drive.

Just remember it's not a race and don't go balls deep first off.

im not sure josh. not even picked up my new EJ9 yet. just gotta sort insurance out 1st. but once ive got it im thinking about a trackday or two sometime. or even hillclimbs...

matt, you got a vid of your EJ9 on track?
 
na im affraid not. i think just before i was going to go out with the gopro on my mate crashed so the track was closed and obviously didnt think it would be a good idea to go again
 
ah well thats a shame mate. just reading through your EJ9 build thread as we speak :D

what does ssb stand for?
 
ahhhhh now i see :D
haha

then one im getting (fingers crossed insurance sorted this week) is thunder grey ;)

my last one was milano pink.......lol
 
good to see people being supportive. my brother used to use ej9's on track all the time, ok they had done a lot of work getting the suspention and geo sorted, also heaverly braced with bigger brakes and stripped but they had a right good time. i think you could be suprised by your car ;)
 
So jarvis, it begs the question..

Are you going to track your EJ9 after the opinions and advice you have received. ???
:nice: :nice: :nice:

get out there and have fun mate, i can't wait to get my EK9 on track this year.. :nerv:
