1. Anger
2. James/Greig
3. Dave P
4. Moley

if some work comes in then it'll me booked

would come along too, last time was awesome fun. but i think i'll save my next time until after the driver training course - its too expensive to do them too often!

in the meantime, i can keep my eyes open for a cheap set of alloys i can bung some track rubber on :)

I too was thinking about the spare wheels....I might know where to go for these!

I would but the car will most likely not be ready by then and definitely not run in enough for track work.

Have some sti 8 alloys for sale

Might come along to watch

thought they sold?

how cheap? ;) and what rubber is on them, condition etc?

don't want to spend much on alloys as i've got my wrx alloys i could put fresh rubber on, but i think a couple of them might be slightly egg shaped lol

Same :doubleup:

Gold ones sold
Have the ones off granbys car black satin (just refurbed )and eagle F1's

Haven't done a track day for years, but If you "novices" can give a real novice a wide birth, I'm tempted to book up, and stretch the legs of the old girl Saab and see how it performs on a track.

Man this is tempting :nod:

If my FMIC is here, fitted and mapped in time, then I will book it too. :ok:

we knew you'd give in and get one eventually ;)

:oops:

Had some "breathing issues" coming back from the ring when I was over 130mph, so just another safety thing more than anything. :wink:

Know what you mean, i've only got a little scoop and no means of measuring the intercooler/intake temperatures so was just hoping for the best at 140mph :(

Just had to avoid any long runs at over 120 or so - was a case of quick blat, then back down to 80/90 for a while to cool down.

FMIC makes sense! :doubleup:

I did exactly the same thing. I had about 4 or 5 proper blats the whole weekend, then backed right down, just because of it.

I have been told that mine should be fine, but after the crap I went through, I won't chance it for the sake of a FMIC and a map tinker.

Have you thought about changing your scoop?

Think your be surprized at power gain & torque once mapped in

:norty:

Steve going FMIC.....it'll be de-tangoed next :rofl:

Maybe :norty:

Hoping to book this weekend Kirstiestar and Dave Beck

So who is going then???

Just booked the day off work so will be going for a look.

Would do the same but i've got a all-day meeting on Tuesday i can't get out of.

hope you guys have a good afternoon :)

Me lol

I considered a late booking but all sold out now :(

I need to get my hands on a spare set of alloys/tyres before booking up a track event really. So always another day. But my intention is to use my current scoob as a daily hack and get some track action in with it, so might see you guys at some coming events.

I am going down, but only watching.

Don't want to put the new one on the track yet, and don't want to kill the old one now that most parts are already sold!!!

Boring ;)

Need sort my insurance Gary :)

Im now booked on the A.M early start. My padds havent turned up so it's a good job there are run offs. :drive:

Passenger lap please

No probs mate just make sure your there early 9am ish i think we go out. My other half is thinking about comming down to :drive:

I'll be there for the morning to watch Nigel :)

Well be there early too:yeah:

Looks like i won't be getting a layin then!!!

Track cover is sorted Angus.

Will be there at lunchtime (for some Brands Hatch cheesy chips and burger!!!)

Oi dont come & put the pressure on. MY other half gets scared at anything over 70mph. So i reckon she will only want to do a couple of laps. Once she's out I'm off for a proper blat. Paul Egerton {jaffa's mate} will be there in his Evo on the A.M session. Should be a giggle :drive:

[QUOTE=Anger;56882]I'll be there for the morning to watch Nigel fall off :)

I hope Nige doesn't fall off with me in there, do evos go quick enough to fall off?

Nah i heard Nige got overtaken by a milk float the other day ;)

Good Luck !!!:drive::drive::drive::drive::drive:

To everyone tomorrow:doubleup:


Cant make it as I am actualy working this week.

I heard it was a vauxhall with leaf springs:whistle:

God blimey... and i thought it couldnt get any worse !

Your right i did get overtaken by Vauxhall with leaf springs. It still cost him £50 though. Fastest Vauxhall ive ever seen i was impressed :drive:

To be fair straight line they are fast as fook.

There will be another evo there too, my mate mark
is bringing his Tomi mak evo:)

Won't be able to make it as i'm charging a lot of money to play with a toilet today

Thanks Nige for a few mad laps, very very impressed with the car and your driving skills. 56.02 is a great time.
I have some in car vid, not much as we got black flaged for filming,oops.
Also got plenty of pics and vids, will post later.

really great to see everyone else too.

hope everyone had a good day, looking forward to the pics :)

Will get them up soon mate, remember its a point and snap, not flashy like you chaps:wink:

Yep had a good day at Brands today, made even better by having to PUSH an Evo :rofl:, hope you get it sorted Nige!!!

Everyone was going well today, well done guys :doubleup:

Hope you get yours sorted out James!!!

Will get afew pics up later.
