    I tend to just stick to the monthly West Mids meets on every second Monday, as I work every weekend so wouldn't be able to attend, plus every Cov meet i've been to has only ever had 4 or 5 people show up. Get yourself in the West Mids section and put your name down to go on the mailing list...

    If I find myself in the lane next to you, is it ok if you run in reverse Tom? It's the only way i'll stand a chance against a nitrous fuelled supercharged cup.

    It's a weekend event with camping, but most of us are only going for the Saturday RWYB.

    There are a few nice pubs in SUA that do food, there's just nowhere to park other than multistory's, the one I use is £4 all day.

    I'm so close to Stratford that i'll just be heading straight there for 10am, although i'm not holding out hope and any of us running as the weather's meant to be sh*t all weekend. Tickets are non refundable according to their site.

    Where about's in Warwickshire are you mate? I'm in Coventry, there are a fair few of us knocking about West Mids/Warwickshire. If you decide to eventually become a member we have regular West Midlands meets every month.

    GW 200 cup (V600S)?

    As I was coming out of Windsor St car park in Stratford Upon Avon, there was a GW 200 with grey front bit and a cup spoiler. It's one of nicest 200s i've seen, very clean, I wouldn't say no. Just wondered if it's on here.

    Are all Mk2 sump trays the same?

    Mine doesn't use any oil either but the sump and gear linkage are always covered in oily sh*t. :dapprove:

    Nikon D700 knackered.

    Yep, still reads cards as full. But it's ok as i've found the answer online, if anyone ever has this problem do this : 1. Go to “Shooting Menu” (“MENU” butten and then select “Shooting menu” ) 2. Select “Active Folder” menu option. 3. Select “New Folder Number” 4. Just bump up the counter 5...

    Nikon D700 knackered.

    I don't know any of you will be able to help, but it can't hurt to ask. The D700 we use at work won't recognise empty cards any more, it's keeps showing them as full, I have updated it with the latest firmware but this hasn't fixed the problem. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Are all Mk2 sump trays the same?

    Oh ok, in that case i'll just wipe as much sh*te off as I can then. I just don't want anyone asking why the underside of the car looks like it has a leak when it doesn't, that's the only reason I was thinking a sump tray would be a good idea.

    Are all Mk2 sump trays the same?

    RWYB mate, so they wont look under the car and start poking about? The sump and linkage is covered in sh*tty old oil.

    Are all Mk2 sump trays the same?

    I had an oil leak, but every now and again the old residual oil makes it's way down to the linkage such as today, i'm going drag racing a week tomorrow so don't want the scrutineers to see any moisture under the car. I'm going to clean as much as the crap off as I can, but if I can stick a...

    Are all Mk2 sump trays the same?

    Bugger. I'll have a look about and see if I can find one locally. Cheers mate.

    Are all Mk2 sump trays the same?

    As above, I need a plastic sump tray, can I just go down my local breakers and get any old Mk2 plastic sump tray?

    I know the kit's cheap but I don't have a decent jack, any stands or the first clue about how to change it. I've basically got to figure out how remove the cat, prep the ends with sealant, then figure out how to put it back on with the new gaskets and clamps. I don't like attempting a job...

    what exhaust system do you have on your 172 and are you running a decat or sports cat

    Re: what exhaust system do you have on your 172 and are you running a decat or sports I agree it did sound good, I just wish it was 500db quieter.

    Drag Racing @ Shakespeare: Sat 27/10/12

    Well i'm not holding out much hope of beating anyone any more, my mani-cat gasket/clamp needs changing and probably the cat back gasket too. The car's down on power because it's rattling and I need to order them from Renault, they're cheap enough, but I don't know how much it'll cost to get...

    Re: what exhaust system do you have on your 172 and are you running a decat or sports Now I know you're taking the piss, you were at the West Mids RR day, you saw the windows almost shatter, I thought my spleen was going to explode ffs.

    Re: what exhaust system do you have on your 172 and are you running a decat or sports Piper stealth, well made but boomy as f*ck, but that's probably because i've got no back seats so I can hear it like it's next to my head.

    Not really, I scrape it all out every now and again, it'd be a disaster to all the detailing freaks but as long as I can still see the carpet, it isn't that bad in my books.

    That's 40kg of extra weight i'll have you know, the hefty b*stard can stay at home or he'll ruin my times. lol Although I could put him in one of the lanes and race him against the Clios, if someone's gearbox goes bang he'll have no problems beating them.

    Gearbox blew up then developed misfire! PLEASE HELP!

    £460's not so bad, and to think you thought the world was ending when it blew up. lol ;) Told it's not that bad, all JC5s blow up at some point, we've all been through it. Has it been swapped yet?
