RobinJI Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'll be in the 406, took a look at the Scirocco at the weekend, got annoyed with not being able to do things properly in time and decided I'd just take a massively unsuitable car rather than one that could potentially give issues. (In other news related to the discussion on the last few pages, I'm becoming increasingly tempted to loose the turbo on the Scirocco, there's just so much mess that goes with it.) Not long now chaps! I'm going to be at Michael Woods services at 6:30 - 6:45, anyone who wants to convoy, meet me there I'm still game for a convoy. Adam, I've actually got a whiteboard in my boot at the moment for some reason, it can remain in there if it'll help? I'll also bring my Canon along as well as a Sony Action-cam with a suction mount. Duncy, if the 406 proves useless I'd be happy to share a space and do a half-day each? The super slow/stiff gear change is my main worry, along with it's chronic lack of guts. On the bright side, I don't give the tiniest bit of a crap about it, which should make it quite fun. (it cost barely more than scrap money and I commute by bike.)

AdamR28 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Cheers Robin but all the kit I'd need is in one box already from Tarty Days, so it's no bother for me Look forward to seeing a 406 flying round, ace! As I said to Dann22323542383653634 last night, car-swapping and passengering with people is what makes days like these fun, so my hairdresser mobile will be available to help convert some of you to gay-ism if you wish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 No harm in having 11 at all. It'll all work out on the day! Prawny seems unlikely to be ready unless he pulls his finger out and the weather plays ball 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete.M Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'll be in the 406 Possibly better than a 940 on a track, I guess we'll find out. I've done something and now I can't control the boost. Things could get hairy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarty Adam Will ring David today today to confirm everything and get final details I thought I replied on page 4/5 Ads, sorry if it didn't post for some reason. Despite working every hour under the sun, as well as every evening under lamp light, I'm just not going to have the car together in time. I got it running last night and got some lights partly on the car, but there's just too much outstanding to finish it in the 2 evenings before Thursday Sad face. Have fun chaps.

AdamR28 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Aah, I might have read it incorrectly - thought it was a 'I might get there' rather than a definite no. That's a shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Just to clear up; if Prawn doesn't say he is ABSOLUTELY doing something he's politely declining an offer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 well, it was at the time, sadly it's just not going to happen though if I hadn't spent a day on Ash's car I'd have my own done in time What a fail. haha. Will be done on Saturday. Just no chance of having it ready before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 f**k you, Ash. Nick, offer still stands - if an extra set of hands would make the difference I can head across tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Went and bought a new MAF, swapped it over in the car park, now up to 160g/s which indicates 200bhp. Improvement, but still a fair way from where it should be. Looks like I'll be boost leak testing again a little later then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 All confirmed I should be at the venue about 9 with the key to open up. It's been suggested to shut the gates after we're in, so if people can remember to do that as they arrive that'd be good please. I'll bring a couple of bin bags as it's a 'leave it as you found it' kinda deal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Awesome, cheers Ad. If all goes to plan I should be there about 9 with Robin and anyone else that convoys with us I hope we get good weather, as it would be fun to slide around a little, but I'd rather give it full whack instead!
