Part 1 25th anniversary meet Rockingham

I think people should then if they drop so be it and it's one less thing on the day. My opinion based on organising (not for this club) things in the past

I am still coming to this but I'm starting to get a feeling I won't be in the pulsar having anti lag/ecu problems...if not I'll be in the s2000.....

Right,I now definately won't be coming to this :-(
the last straw came last night when putting things back together and I found my refurbished turbo has a badly cracked wastegate housing around the wastegate itself.
Not  a happy bunny.:-I
If I owe money let me know and I'll settle it.
Thanks.

Can't you see if anyone got a knackerd turbo and just use there housing to get yours back on the road bud or get it welded?

Not in the space of a week pal, it'd need disassembling,new housing fitting,building back up and rebalancing.
I can't believe it came back like that,so pi55ed off right now.


I'm gonna get hold of the guy that did it so it won't get sorted before next week :-(
Anyways I'll carry this on in my project thread luke,cos I could easily rant right now,was up till midnight getting engine in. Also dound issues with powerflex bushes :-/

I could loan you a standard turbo that's bolted up to a standard mani.
I'm not to far away in Leicestershire.
PM me if you want pal

Fair play that's forum community right there

My jaw just dropped :-)
Hmmm,after all my.enthusiasm just dropped last night.
I might see if I can get it built up now.
I'm in shock,truly

I will pm you my number just give me a call. Just checked it over it is in good order with no play in shafts. Has a tiny crack in the back corner on exhaust side but nothing major. I will send some pics to you ASAP if you want pal

Off out in a minute pal with my kids I'll give you a bell later.
I've messaged the guy on fb who did it so waiting for him to reply.

Not long to go now, just to confirm I will be going defo, travelling up the night before and staying with a relative in Coalville near Leicester.
Dont forget the driving licence and a helmet! also says if it's a road car it should be MOT'd not sure if you have to bring that along?
I think you can hire helmets there.

Does it cost to hire a helmet or do you get your money back once you give it back? Halfords have some black ones for 30 quid so might get one as cant find my old motorscross one I used last time lol

I have a motox one I use on my mountain bike that I was gonna bring along. Can use it if you like?

Helmet hire £20+vat
http://store.rockingham.co.uk/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=151108

Seems a bit steep?

Also usually long sleeves and tousers required to go on track, shorts and flip flops not allowed.

Are we doing parade lap or anything ?

GTIRSI's first post says a parade lap, so I hope so, it will be good to see so many GTiR's on track.

Yeah parade lap is going to be at 5:30 hopefully everyone can stay for this as it will be great to get all the cars on track together!!!

Yeah don't forget a helmet guys as hire is not cheap, if you have a spare bring it along as it could help another owner out.
Driving licence is required but that's about it chaps.

I will get a full schedule posted on here so you all know what is happening and when as this should help a little.
Will get a couple printed up for at the meet..

Any other questions just ask.

Thanks for all your efforts GTRSI, I havent done a track day for about 20years, so looking forward to it, hopefully eveyone will turn up with licence ETC Im a bit OCD with stuff like that dont want anyone to be disapointed.

Yeah I know what you mean mate it's good to be orgiansed.
I'm certainly trying lol. Hope the day goes smoothly as I'm really looking forward to it. Never been on track in my car or arranged anything like this before so I think I'm doing ok!!!

Just penciled up a quick schedule so will get it posted as soon as I get chance.

Am I still down for track time? Doubt they will let me on with my exhaust! But if you have all ready paid obviously I'll give you the money pal

Yeah I think I had you down for one session Pete I would go out and see how you get on mate, I guess worst case they will flag you to come off..

Let's just see how you get on buddy and if you get removed straight away I will discount the session for you pal. As I don't want anyone to feel hard done
Hope this is ok ?

That's fine pal, I'll give it a shot...see if I can sneak on . Discount? As long as it doesn't cost you anything otherwise that's not fare!

I will be there, just as promised! Ill happily pay whoever I owe for track time too, you will recognise my car from my avatar so I won't be able to get away with it!! LOL!!
