I’ve just booked my first track day and it’s at oulton park and I stumbled across this video and found it very helpful 👍🏼

If the worst came to the worst a replacement engine ain’t that big a job. Even if it costs a grand to put right it’s still a bargain.

Great video mate. Looking to start track days this year so was helpful 👍

Weird one. What size is your suit?

mate thats an awesome video , just what i needed to prep for my first track day later this month. what camera set up do you use by the way? I probably want to sort that out ...

Is that Tyrone when did he leave weatherfield....

Looks fast 2 me❤

Lazy cunts. With front end off it goes much easier

We are doing a banger rally in a TX2 Automatic in October and our route back passes the 'ring.... Should we....?

Why is it that on my track day I met loads of retired blokes, but when you go you meet three biker ladies offering you tyre-warmers!?!?!?! 🤷🏾‍♂️

Where did you order your engine from please mate ?

which coilovers did you use, didn't catch it?

Thanks for the vid , caravelle owner(T5) BNZ engine, did you say what type your was (engine label) and size? What happened to your old engine to need full replacement? Personally I would have liked a more detailed video of what was undone / when and a "tour" of the engine unit as a whole so we can see what is where on the engine (so difficult to identify when installed and unknowledgeable) but it's your video so you do you , as they say. Apparently the alloy heads do suffer from injector bore wear on VW engines from the hammering the injectors apply. A "metal bridge" is offered aftermarket to help support the injectors and restrict their movement. Rocker cover removal required plus a bit. Festa at t4forum also made some shims to spread the load too. I'm not an engineer to assess its effectiveness but you may wish to ask your mech friends to comment on it / check heads they see from time to time. Go well. ta

Excellent video mate… I have only done 2 track days last year at snetterton and after watching this video I want to do this track now

What a nice guy that lex had the most beautifully tight harmonious exhaust I’ve heard in a while

“I had that Sterling Moss in the back of me cab once. Diamond geezer”

Cracking job lads by genuine mechanics that show how it’s done 👍🏻😉

Nice to see a thundercat there, we've got 3 of them in the garage, and I'm very much considering using one at cadwell or blyton (my local tracks)

For someone that never done a track day before.... your lines are great. Well done. Are you from Manchester by any chance haha

Great video. Did you have to take your own video equipment or did they supply this? Many thanks.

You overtake on the left if the track is clockwise. If the track is anti clockwise you overtake on the right 👍💪 top video though loads of great tips if you've never been to the track.

Great video. that bike is a bargain for a grand that's the way to do it tho is buying a cheap track bike works out cheaper in the long run rather than paying to hire a bike

Greek mechanic 1 hour engine down But nice job mate

can’t watch. technique and body position is poor. lean off your bike.

Hello Mate. I was thinking to do a track day at Oulton Park as well but I have never done it before plus my car is a very slow Suzuki. Do you think I should go for the 20 min taster session rather than the full day? Nice video btw very informative!

Just say again why you take your plates off?

we got people running straight pipes down here in texas in the us... feel bad for you guys that don't get to let those monsters breath

Just smooth and sexy.... love me hondas

Thats a jack pot find of a track bike!!!

@4:51

Get back on the bike !!! 😂

god dang british weather hey dude!

Really good vid mate very informative thank you

Cheers mate what happend with youre t5 😎

Why is everyone going so slow? It's a track day..

Where did you get your fairing from bud ?

yeah sorry for causing a red flag aha :)

Had the pleasure of meeting Wes personally, top bloke with some good stories to tell.

grip it and rip it!!!

Bought a Ducati in lots of parts and cheap, it was all there and eventually got it repaired, running for road and track days.

Good luck mate 👍

👍🏻👍🏻

10:24 that’s the killer gsxr isn’t it 😂🤣😂

mine had no keys ,stuck in gear, no plates bought in 2005 and tracked next day, it was stored for 15 years before i got it, 2005 600rr i love this bike

it will run , theres no question its just how much work you have to do . compression check, battery , spark plugs , oil, gas... then go from there....

good deal , , i got my first track bike free, after talking him down from 2k usd ... it cost 800 in back tax for street riding 1200 to fix her up,,,,,, most of the 1200 was things riders do ever buy regardless, oil chain,tires,sprokets,ect... i made a key and fixed her up nice ,,, ive since ride everyday 5 years now , even crossed states riding did 1000 mile one day, shes fast ive done 160plus everyday for 2 years straight.solid bike.

That’s awesome 👏
