What a dick move. Who sells a car and doesn’t leave enough fuel to get the buyer home?? Or at the very least, make it comfortably to the nearest fuel station??
860kgs without me in it. And it’s a standard 172 engine so 160bhp at a guess?
Camber didn’t kill my tyres. Driving like a meat and locking up flat spotted them badly.
I’ve just packed up my stash of parts and a plan is now in place.
Saturday; it’s off to Beaniesport to have the hydraulic clutch conversion.
Once it’s back from there I have fiberglass headlight blanks (should save me a good few KG’s) and a 2 inch hole saw for the interior. I’d like to save a...
@SharkyUK - I saw that scuff (NSF?) not long after lunch. I almost said something but I thought “if he’s hit that on the way here, he won’t want to talk about it” 😂😂
Two techs are very well regarded.
They probably also factor in that the sub frame captive nuts will spin and they’ll want to clean everything up and inspect. (Clio gearboxes leak a lot!)
Your local garage will just air gun everything off and back on again and if they come up against a common...
I was a big big fan of the NS2R’s - mainly because of the price vs performance but I agree, they get too hot too quickly.
Very surprised how much power yours had @Touring_Rob - torque for days!!
Actually painting it takes about 30 minutes.
But you’ll need to spend a day on prep minimum if you want a half about finish.
Scotch everything, a decent primer, make sure it’s not too hot or too cold and make sure you mask yourself up properly. An old newspaper or 3 will be a huge help for...
The rear two had 2 days left in them. 2 x front ones were a day old and the spare 2 were only 2 days old.
Then I locked up heavily in the afternoon and flat spotted the tyres. Went in, changed tyres, back out and did exactly the same on the same corner on the new tyres. 🤦♂️😂
Mk1 making its unique appearance at CSF. Hopefully another Mk1 can join in next year??
Locked and loaded, ready to go.
I think I managed to break my son….
I then took @Touring_Rob out and seemingly forgot that the tyres were cold… I nearly held it tbf! But nearly wasn’t good enough.
The guy that came and spoke to me had hundreds and hundreds of photographs on his camera. Including me coming off. 😂
Definitely worth dropping him a message.
Just got home and got the proper holiday blues.
I had an amazing time and so did my son. Just had 5 hours in the way home of him telling me what car he’s going to bring to track himself next year and he wants to share a garage with @Brigsy and socialise with @Filters and @DaveDreads all...
Another thing I’d like to point out, about the club…
@Touring_Rob wanted a towbar for his Range Rover. I had one in work. I could have sold it for £120/150 on eBay but I didn’t. I gave it to him and I delivered it to his sisters house on the other side of Bristol. It’s what we do, we help...
