AdamR28 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 No worries Welcome to ask more if you like. Yeah, I guess at a national level things might be a bit more... 'forceful', haha. Still, you'll be mixing with the mid pack straight away I should think, and you'll learn a lot very quickly! Haha, yeah the wave is for the guys who let me through when I was lapping them. Those who held me up didn't get one There are meant to be blue flags but the marshals always seem to get mixed up regarding who is where on the track... Here's another vid from the same track (but a different series), the guy's in a Mk1 Clio. It looks like Need For Speed with the massive differences between the cars, haha - I think there are a couple of different classes on the same grid though...

Tom Booth Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 A: The car has had a small fortune spent on it and did at one point belong to a Norwich city football player. I'd buy it just on that merit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) I took these pictures today at the Haynes museum. That's about all I can say on the matter, words escape me when I see cars this beautiful. I spoke to one of the cleaners, he opened it up and let me sit in it and have a look around because I was so in love with it. :'( Edited June 27, 2013 by Pashley26 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I meant all the ones behind it My dads currently doing a porsche for someone. Ill find out what it is. It's something old and rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 The one behind it was just a minging S3 V12 e-type, a bit meh' really. However as you wish - A nice little sprint tucked away Sunbeam Rapier H120 It's a huge place! There are five halls all like that. Motorbikes too Half of the bike I was named after A good day, I hugely suggest anybody who's into proper cars pays it a visit. I went here - Welcome to HIMM It was awesome. Here's some of my highlights of the day - https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1045247_1389010081314169_534301941_n.jpg]/img] This deserves its own little post break...

Greetings Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 My friend is slowly finishing his Opel, can't wait. It's a single seater with a soon to be supercharged K20 engine in the back. 600+bhp/tonne anyone? Annoyingly, I'll almost certainly be given the chance to drive it as with all of his cars so far and annoyingly, like always before I won't be able to reach the pedals. But this time I'm going to find a way around that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Must go there sometime, it's only half an hour away from me and I've never been, pretty retarded really. I've been to a fair few events in the grounds, but never shelled out the cash to go inside, but it does look good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Lots of grease on the bushes, don't overtighten the 'U' clamps, don't crimp your brake lines! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I was thinking the bag of grease was a little measly? Any idea what it is? I'm got a metric f**k-ton of copper grease and moly-slip, but this looks like something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Should be plenty in there, just snip a corner off and use it like toothpaste It's some sort of moly grease I think, pretty sticky stuff to stay in place. Still goes hard over time but it does the job nicely, without it the bushes will squeak and wear fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm got a metric f**k-ton of copper grease and moly-slip, but this looks like something else? Definitely don't use copper grease, it's not a lubricant, just an anti-seize compound, it shouldn't really be used on moving parts at all. But yeah, as Adam says, there's normally more than enough in the sachet. I need to get some more bush-grease sometime, so I'd be interested to know if it is the same as a more common/cheap type. It's all well and good having the sachets, but it doesn't allow for any dismantling/servicing later down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Is there a fairly cheap way of getting seats repaired? My drivers side is ripped and getting worse in the usual wear place on seats... Would rather not buy new seats if there's some kind of re-trim service I could get done cheap-ish at some point.

Luke Rainbird Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Given how often they pop up for sale and how cheap they tend to be its probably easier to just buy another and sell yours, even if it means buying a pair of fronts/full set so long as the price is right. Eyes peeled in the usual FB groups etc. Alternatively it's the perfect excuse to get some manliest seats in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Haha, yeah I'll probably just look for a cheap set of fronts in a few months time then... not in any rush and still have other things to pay for first On that note, here's a pic of my car with Rainbird's old Starfishes!
