List of people going to Brands Hatch, 18/02/06

As per the above.

I've got this Thursday and Friday off to do some work on the valver:

- Do the rear brake hose change to braided
- Fit new rear pads
- Change the fan switch to a R5 turbo jobby
- Perform an oil change (now my filter removal tool is on its way - no more f* knuckles)
- Consider raising the rear of the valver a little bit as I'm concerned about understeer on the track
- Fit used tyres from Fred to my spare ph2 alloys
- Check general fluids and bleed the brakes again
- Fit my pipercross panel filter (if it ever arrives, from plattsy)
- Sort my dogbone engine mount out
- Tighten the aux belt to stop it squeeking

Anyone else going?

Leave the rear lines they do nothing anyay and other jobs will be more of a challenge if your pressed for time the same for the fan no need if the engine gets hot just do what I do stick the heater on full blast hot and open the windows if it gets to hot mines never gets hot on track doing this trick plus its lovely and warm in the car.
I'll be there in my black Clio.
Don't worry to much about understear you can have a fiddle about with tyre pressures anyway.

The air filter you are replacing, is it a standard factory fitted one?
If so, will fitting a different air filter (high air flow) adjust the running of the engine, or will the ecu adjust to the change??

Just asking because I thinging of doing something similar...

The air filter won't many any real difference.
