4RE Leather Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 At least with the stainless steel one it is fabricated to fit the underneath and not the composite. It's a shame I can't get some decent shots of mine put up. I need to get it back on the ramp and lay down underneath it !!! Once people see how excellent it is I am sure they will want one. Quote
Clown Posted October 27, 2013 Author Posted October 27, 2013 The good news is the towing eye made it. The bad news is I lost the rear towing eye cover while I was spinning in some gravel! Quote
Humpy Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Full story please Clown, saw your post/picture on Stalkbook. What happened out there? Quote
dErZ Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Did you get back ok after your kitty litter outing? Did the stewards help with your belts? Quote
Clown Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) I kind of lifted off where they told me not to lift off. Span a bit and came a bit close to the barriers. The mechanic in the workshop sorted me out as much as they could without my locking wheelnut! They deflated the tyres and picked out all the stones. Took off my undertray and removed as much of the stones as they could. Told me to shake the car a bit to get the other stones out. Shopping list after this session is: Auxiliary belt thing - only two ribs were shorn off. Nearside wing mirror glass thing Nearside clear indicator plastic thing Rear towing eye cover thing Towing eye thing Respray thing (was needed anyway) Wheel refurbishment thing (was needed anyway) Edited October 28, 2013 by Clown Quote

Humpy Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Glad to see your car is not any dirtier than normal Clown Guess it could of been a lot worse, long as no one was hurt etc. Quote
dErZ Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 It's great they helped with the car mate. Surprised that the stones caused so much damage, I thought the under tray would of protected the belts. Quote
Ebized Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Brings back memories of a visit to a track day there last March when a DB9 went off into the gravel -see pics in my post (No.6) here: http://www.350z-uk.c...ne#entry1015114 and his mirror was shattered by trying to reverse out of the kitty litter....as well as doing a lot of other damage Quote
Clown Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 Ah, I just drove out Mine was probably shattered by reversing IN to the gravel... I need to contact the usual suspects for some stuff now! Quote
4RE Leather Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Full story please Clown, saw your post/picture on Stalkbook. What happened out there? Have you got a picture of the cover as I may have one in my bits box? Quote
4RE Leather Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Ah, I just drove out Mine was probably shattered by reversing IN to the gravel... I need to contact the usual suspects for some stuff now! Is that a Ray wheel? And is it ok? I can lend you one if needed but it will be either black or white! Quote
Clown Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 The wheels are fine The guys in the workshop helped me out when they didn't really have to! Absolute respect to the lads there. They picked out the stones from the wheels but as I left my locking nut at home, they couldn't get to one wedged between the pad and discs. It's the clear bit under the Z badge on the side. Quote
NeilMH Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Whoops. Hope you get it all sorted out ok. Quote
HaydnH Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Its good to see you're not too disheartened by this, could've been a lot worse! Quote
HaydnH Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Remember things can go wrong at relatively safe tracks as well: More Info: http://www.350z-uk.c...ford-autodrome/ Quote
wmr1980 Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 The only track days I've done were on 2 wheels, and the nurburgring in a hire car Really need to get back into doing them... Once this wedding thing is done with and I have spare cash! Quote
