If you fancied going down the Friday too, the Scottish lot will be passing by Gretna and you could join in with us so you're not just turning up to CSS not knowing anyone (I'm definitely not just shamelessly doing this in an effort to get a V6 in with our convoy...) 😂

Another track day (night) down! Reverse circuit at Knockhill tonight. Actually really enjoyed the layout once I got used to it. There's a lot more corners you need to be careful with than with the normal layout. Took the scenic route over the grass at the chicane on one lap, but apart from...

So the route will be as follows. We'll head off along the M8 from the Showcase, meeting there as mentioned above, then probably along Great Western Road and out towards Dumbarton, Balloch etc. that way. Meet up in Balloch, full location details in OP, which lets everyone take their own...

Yes mate, we'll meet up about 09:30 at the Showcase in Coatbridge, with a view to heading off around 10:00. Seems the easiest place to all get to as there's quite a few coming from over in the east. Change of plan, all meet in Balloch as per the info in the first post :smile:

Anyone heading up for the reverse session tonight? Bagged myself the last available slot yesterday morning :cool:

Should be fine. There's two different lengths of that adjustable bit though, not sure if the shorter of the two has enough length for a ph1.

Ph1 has a shorter cat (providing its a single lambda cat), so needs a longer centre section. Some ph1's had a twin lambda cat though, and it's the same length as a ph2 setup.

Input shaft bearing(s) on the way out by the sounds of it. Thrust bearing would make noise when the clutch is pressed. Does the whine increase with engine speed or road speed?

Sounds like it could be a decent day, although I'll more than likely be at SMRC at Knockhill.

I hope so mate. Would be good to get something similar going on a bit later in the year too. Maybe later in August or early September or something. Will see how this one goes and then get plenty of notice in for another one anyway if it goes well

Bump on this, any other interest? Weather appears to be picking up just now so lets hope it holds out for another 2 weeks (although it's scotland, so I doubt it lol)

What you planning on going down in?

Lolol, I've sent back a nice calm reply acting completely dumb, so will see what he replies with

By accident I found one of this guys adverts earlier. So, since I was bored, I sent this message, about said advert below And then I recieved this, quite frankly, f**king amazing reply.

Lol! I don't know if an ability to rip clios apart quickly is a good or a bad thing 😂 Ahh, I forgot the offside one had that bit on the driveshaft too. But yeah, you got lucky with that. I really should get my old box repaired now thinking about it, my current temporary one is rather...

Yeah, suppose it's to be expected on a track car! I like things clean though lol! Was on semi slicks as above, maybe they were starting to go off with the heat, still not too sure. Think my next day will be into August some time with the way the dates have worked, but will maybe catch you up...

Proper update time after yesterdays track day. Got all the track wheels sorted out last week. Old dynamique wheels with R888's on them. Tyres were 205 wide and didn't realise the wheels were only 6j wide until I had the tyres on lol! Had a bit of a bulge (giggity) on the sidewalls but held up...

Just catching up with this now, you don't hang about working on the car lol! Where was that driveshaft? I thought it only had the tripod bit on the wet side of the box? Also wondering how the exhaust will sound. Bored of how quiet my ktec stealth with centre silencer and cat is after hearing a...

There's a reverse night this Thursday and then I think the next open pit is into July. Gutted I won't be able to make another one until August now lol

That's a fair point Marc it's a long way for a lot of us but its equally as far for those coming from the South of England. Its a fairly central location this year IMO.

I got a shot of Fraser's car and was surprised how much better the RC6's were than the RC5+ ones, although the RC5+ is still an epic pad. RC8's must be ridiculous lol. It was probably a bit too hot today, but the day went fairly well up until the end. Lost it at the chicane and managed to...

There were 4 afternoon slots left when I booked up on Wednesday, so might still be something available

5pm mate, afternoon session is 2-5

I'm up for the afternoon session, will keep an eye out. I'm in the silver ph1, well, one of them lol!

Anyone up tomorrow?

Yeah they're certainly something those pads... Lol! Took the car out to bed them in a bit there and it locks up cold road tyres stupidly easy. They're only RC5+ too [emoji23] wasn't hero enough to go for RC6. I'll be up in the afternoon mate, couldn't get the morning off work. Fraser's up the...

New shiny things! All set for tomorrow now!

Nobody else from Scotland fancying CSS this year?!

Knockhill hopefully. Still need to book up lol and get a few bits before it though. Last minute as usual!

Oh my bad. Don't know where I'd be without you :kissingheart:😂😂 Think I've got a heat gun in the garage. Between that, some tardis and whatever apc I have it shouldn't be too difficult. I hope...
