Saw Josh's new motor yesterday....really nice jap import. Rwd 2litre turbo (or could be 1.8) and made by Nissan. Looks unspoilt too...which is defo a bonus.
When I got the 182, I contacted the local one to get an idea of price...they said that it needed cleaning, testing, then doing...and would be about £150...and this was over the phone! I asked how they could diagnose something that they hadn't seen...and he said that is what they would pretty...
Kwik s**t are paid to make as much money as possible. Take it to a local place to you who specialise in air con...they will test it and let you know either way...dont tell them it has a leak, see what their compression tests show.
Ps. Didnt Kwik s**t provide you a report of what they felt that...
Fred doesnt believe in Rolling Roads...iirc.
I want to offer it to those people who asked in first place...as davo has someone who wants to run too...and theres only so many places we can fill before we run into the Sunday...pmsl.
and to think...Tom is getting his 172Cup on probably the hottest day of the year so far! ;)
It won't be...but will feel like that due to lack of AC!!!
Its gonna be wierd seeing Tom driving a proper car...dude...if the reg is MJ53 VOF...avoid like plague...CAT C write off! ;)
To be fair...they're only worth what someone is willing to pay. If they have minimal to no kerb rash and decent tyres...then £150+ (prob £200 ballpark figure)
With loads of kerb rash and crap tyres, you would be lucky to get £150 because when you factor in refurb and new tyres....thats another...
I would think you'd need to prep or key the surface, then vht primer and vht paint. If you dont prep it, then I would think that with metal movement and heat, you would have it ruined pretty quick. I wouldnt do it if I was being honest as it will affect resale should you ever wish to (imho)
No worries...what I will do is call you as we're getting close so its easier for you to tag on if thats okay.
Be M42 then onto A42 straight to Donnington Park. :)
They bop it in 4th and floor it to see the power when accelerating, then when decelerating that is also where they get figures from.
I've done 2 in the 182 and did 5 or 6 in the 172Cup. If your car is in good health, then it should be fine. The first time you run your car...you will s**t...

Mandy and I are trying to let the RAF know about this in case there are any lads who are serving, but over here and wishing to show their...
I knew about ac and lights, etc...as 172Cups used to have better figures than equivalent 172 & 182s which had ac, etc. It will take more power as its trying to run the other stuff while its being done.
I need to get new oil as mine is running a bit low. Filter is clean and was reoiled a couple...
We are good for 23 as they need to have enough time and staff (and food!!!) If I can see if the people wanting on reserve list want to run...then they have places first (only fair) but if they don't want to run, then there will be a place...bear with me while I see what Harrybanjo, Josh and Leon...
You dont need to...as we can have up to 23 runners (more will be at their discretion)...will pm you my paypal addy when I'm back on pc as its £10 deposit with the remaining £20 to be paid to Viezu on the day.
Will update list and contact the other 2 (Josh and Leon) to see if they still want to...
We have 20 places already filled and currently 2 reserve places. If you want to be on reserve list in case anyone fails to make it or something turns up that they cant make it...then you will have to pay the full amount on the day. We've agreed 20 runners...but they might let us run a couple...
I think that they are setting something up the donation, or it will be to PayPal Scott or Matt W so that they can get all donations to the relevant place (HTH)...I will let you know once I do. Like I have said, its also a chance for us to remember Brent McCarthy (Telford lad) who was killed in...
Everyone, I know that there are a few threads currently running in the West Midlands, but wanted to get this one set up before someone jumps the gun! ;)
This year, as you may well know, its a bit nearer and is at Donnington Park rather than Rockingham.
The postcode is DE74 2PR
It will take...
