I think that was the thought on everyone's mind

Good day out and glad to meet some new faces even if I didn't meet you all. Bit gutted the car made less power but oh well it didn't break at any point so that's a bonus  

Ill throw up some pic shortly...

Couldn't have got mine near 7500rpm if he'd tried ...

Fantastic day a huge thanks to bob and Clair for arranging it all, lovely to have met such a bunch of great people and I look forward to meeting you all in the near future again.

Indy was nice to meet you...
It was you who i was talking to about my air box wasn't it....
If so
I want to see pics of your air box build when you do it

Ok what a good turn out that was today   
Was the most gtirs I've seen in one place since the last centenary meet and many weren't in the picture.
So massive thanks to all of you for making the effort to turn up and make it a really good day   
Also thanks for your generosity for all dibbing in for cancer research between us we raised £135.52 so with the club throwing in £100 we've raised £235.52 in total  so you can all give yourselves a pat on the back.

Partypete won the £40 bet for guessing his bhp down to 1bhp and was closely followed by johnboy who was 1bhp out so bit unlucky.

Aron aka gtirpimp had the most powerfull car on the day, it made 361bhp
Party petes car made 357 and Glenn's ivory car made 350 but all we're running no where near there limits

Great effort by dean tucker to get his car there and meet us at the pub after the early breakdown with a braided oil cooler line splitting, following you back dean, did you know we got back in an hour lol   
When you turned off and I waved I said to Clare 'why didn't you wave' she said I had my eyes shut lol, the girl hates going fast so closes her eyes to block the speed out   But was only doing the legal motorway limit of course   

Bfc10...........think you know what your new user names gonna be as il be changing it shortly lol

Anyway once again big thanks to all of you for making it a good day and all worthwhile with the charity raising and all, roll on the sprint day in May   
Il post up next week once we've paid the money in to cancer research

Thanks again bob, i am going to call car limits on tuesday and try to book on, can anyone else turn up if they arnt running? As i would like to come along anyway  
My friend who came along today said that he has never been to anything like today, not one person was slating anyone else car or anything, all down to earth people and i have to agree, i am deflooking forward   to the next one, (i want the trophy) haha
Also was great seeing so many varients of pulsar, from stripped and caged to bulk standard examples, amost every colour aswell we was just missing green. Maybe next time haha 
Enjoy the rest of your weekend people

Thanks very much for sorting the day out maybe next time it will be at your rr with a club discount and some mechanical sympathy all in all was a good day out so thanks again.

Sounds like you all had a good day, glad it all went well with not to many breakdowns etc looking forward to seeing more pics , in still at work

Yep it's on the horizon Dave, we certainly won't be banging peoples cars on the rev limiter when there's no need for it as most make peak power and torque by around 7k, that was the one down point of the day despite keep telling the guy   My car was taken to 7900   

Hopefully if all goes to plan this summer we should be getting a brand new state of art dyno developments rollers installed.
Great bit of kit too with latest software and can even do 1/4 mile runs on it with strip simulator but will explain all once the deals done.
Will certainly do a big discount too for club rr days with gtir's

I thought I replied to your post buddy but it didn't send because I had shit signal on the way home.

I think I had a boost leak from my dump valve so it's a good job I bought that recirc off you I didn't try to fix it though because the recovery truck was already on its way.
I'm going to try fitting the recirc valve tomorrow because I can't be bothered now after being in that recovery truck for hours lol I was loosing the will to live


Was a great day out today and I had a good time and was nice to meet a few folk. Even though I came home with the wooden spoon of shame and on the back of a recovery truck it was still a brilliant day out   

Thanks for organising the day out, it was a good turn out, nice to put faces to names   
Sorry..... but I could not stomach his heavy foot, that's why I decided not to put mine on there, also as I have been to Surrey Rolling Road last month to sort out a fuelling problem. I think Charlie has got a lot more mechanical sympathy and also checks the engine fuelling and also checks the boost, very pleased with the service I got from him   

Some pics from the day

Thanks for the name change Bob it really suits me   I'm just glad it worked out ok in the end, just got back home still misfiring so will strip it down starting tomorrow to try to find the fault.

Was good to meet everyone, and a big thanks to all those that helped sort my little spark plug issue   

As already said a good charity benefits and a good time was had, looking forward to the next meet with hopefully less drama than this one.

Spike

Was a good day but a 200 mile round trip in a 23 yr old Datsun at 85 mph makes you paranoid for every knock or splutter

 Car there and back faultless so i was happy first long run since it went back on the road knew stuff was ok more that it looked messy but you never know good to see you again mate. That avcr sensor check is a good little help mate. My mate commented on your car looking well and the wheels suit it well he said
