nice to catch up with people from the site and put a few personalities to a few names.
well chuffed with how it went on on the day, finally got to grips with the car after struggling at first with the smaller tracks because of severe turbo lag.
hats off to lex another amazing day that will go down as a favorite in my life and i'm sure many others 2.

weather was fab and the skiddin even better, can't wait for next month. hope to see you all there.

14degrees, mhg, T28 and bucket seat (being most important!) and your nearly there!!!

And good rocking Stav, loved the dedication, Roy Castle would be proud

I did have a go at the kidney near the end of the day but not in my car, in an S14. I think I need a bit of instruction on that one before I can work out how to adjust the speed of the car.

Already bought my ticket for next month. Hopefully I'll be able to make my battery brackets work properly before then, and find a means of preventing my power steering fluid from boiling. Otherwise my car performed amazingly well. Thanks in no small part to my fabulous DW coilover's and J's excellent alignment.

Give one of the marshalls a shout next time and they'll be happy to give you pointers on the kidney track!

nice to meet you (i think it was you), you were going through tyres like no one's business

jayz · 09-04-2008, 21:26

anyone got any photos or vids from the day?

Stavros · 09-04-2008, 21:30

I got a ton of pics my mates bro took on the camera i had, ill start a thread in the media section soon as ive re-sized em.

Not sure what cars he snapped, seems a variety, tho not as many of mine as i wanted, the fricker!

Others deffo were snapping away too tho, so some stuff prob will appear.

Make sure you drink more during the day, dehydration is a big thing at these events. I ended up drinking what was left of the water I used to de-ice my car this morning!

GmasterT - you jsut don't want that car sold do you?

If he is still offering it soon, I'm afraid I'll have to take it methinks, but between now and then, yes, the car will be dropped!

Can't wait to see photo's.

Thanks Lozza. I meant to come and say hi to you, what with you being a facebook buddy and all, but I got a bit sidetracked.

I'd love to see some pictures or videos from today, especially anything that makes me look like I know what I'm doing

I had a litre of water, probably not enough. The sun/dehydration was a big part of it

jayz · 09-04-2008, 21:41

I'm happily re hydrating this evening with a couple of carlings....

mitsi_matt · 09-04-2008, 21:50

yep lozza 14 tyres in the end, need to get a tyre machiene and more rims can get as many free used tyres as i need. gets a bit expensive otherwise.

xborninthefightx · 09-04-2008, 21:54

Im having problems with my legs (trying to hold my ass in my shitty seat).

What a day and what a difference a welded diff makes

Went through 12 tyres which was a hell of a lot from last time.
Cheers to the two guys parked next to me for the free two last tyres

, really lasted well compared to the other shit i had.

lozza · 09-04-2008, 21:57

Dori Mat · 09-04-2008, 21:59
