Mark W Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Fair play for seemingly just breezing around the outside of everyone like it's nothing Some good lines/overtakes in there! When I saw you guys were looking for numbers I was tempted to make the trip up. That place was pretty fun, and after having another karting hit relatively recently at the (ridiculously fun) Cardiff indoor track I wanted to have another go. This is the Cardiff one for reference - no idea if this video's got anything good in it but it shows you what a lap of the place looks like: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Earlier this month I went to Teamsport Crawley to drive on the three-tier 'international circuit'. That was pretty good fun : ) I mean I ranked fairly low down the times but then I've always been more of a two wheel guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Haha, cheers. Everything just seemed to go right, never been that fast round there before! Always good to beat the dudes who turn up with their own boots, overalls etc as well That looks pretty sweet, nice and technical! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Haha, yeah, same thing as beating the dudes who rock up at paintball with their own overalls, guns and so on... The Cardiff one's pretty good, especially 'cos after a few laps the tyres are pretty much on fire and it just gets nice and slidey in a fun, predictable way. The top section over the bridge is cool too - you can just about take it all flat out, and if you do you kind of launch off into the downslope and then have to try and wrestle it around that hairpin immediately afterwards. Pretty rewarding when it goes right. That place is pretty cheap too from memory 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 That depends how highly you rate f**king sheep, and consequently how favourable a sheep-to-person ratio you like. It was 6:1 in the county I used to live in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Sorry to those on FB that have already seen, but... I DONE FIXED IT. Took 5 hours today to finish removing the manifold, drill the shit out of it and then re-fit everything (Had to remove the downpipe too). Car took a while to start again once I'd re-assembled it, but a bit of right foot sorted that out Winner. Here's the noise, sounds shit in the video so I'm going to do a better recording at some point. https://www.facebook.com/mikeduffieldphotography/videos/10155458288900587 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Chucked some new oil and a filter in the Porsche, adjusted the front wheel bearings as the ns was rather loose and gave it a good wash. Not sure if it is a placebo effect but the car felt very sprightly and nimble this evening Must have lost some weight after its wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Nice one Mike, glad you're getting stuck in, you won't find a much better car to start learning some mechanics on than the MX-5. Just ordered an entirely new fuel system for the Scirocco, literally everything between the tank outlets and the fuel rail. So the mission over the next week or two of evenings will be to drop the fuel tank to give it a good clean out and strip out all the old system (Not very fun as it involves removing the rear axle and I know my rear shocks lower bush is seized in place on both sides ) I also need to make some sort of housing up as the fuel pumps and swirl-pot will be living in the cabin, but I want some sort of firewall between them and me so I'll make a box around them vented to the outside.

CurtisRider Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 I would certainly be interested, cheers Jardo! I'm actually going to look at a 944S locally tomorrow for £850, but it needs an MOT... I'm hoping I can keep the 924 as well and just tuck it in a shed until I'm ready to give it some proper attention, just like the other classics I own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Mapping tomorrow. I think it is realistically going to make 277bhp and 272lbft torque. But I hope for lots more I would rather keep it sub 280/280 and reliable than all da powaaaah. If it doesn't go bang. Guesses on a post card.

MadManMike Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Well I drove all the way to work and it's not blowing, so that's a result.
