Norn Iron Meet 3rd & 4th September 2011

[Tigger]

Was a good day, weather was so predictable lol it ALWAYS rains at the airshow! That's why you needed a CS rain jacket lol

I have one pic of the Tram

Probably the nicest part of it (the lights)

The Clio's would have that F16 in the twisties remember, or even that stretch where I passed you

Rest of the pics are on the Nikon, im in the pub!

PS - thanks for the feed :cheers:

 

[_Logie]

Haha you complete bas*ard! Horrible that is. Got my laptop sold now btw, so I'm buying those 5 172 Alloys now from here and then gonna get some lowz.

The bus will look nicer!

No probs mate, lovely grub!

 

[Tigger]

Happy days!
You need some lows I thought you were part of the airshow at one point :rasp:

 

[Tigger]

That lovely feed has gave me the hunger for another day out

How about a wee run through the Sperrins Liam? Before the 4ft-wide roads are caked in snow again lol

 

[_Logie]

Well get another meet organised then Hopefully get more people!

Where abouts are you thinking? Just a local meet for a bite and a sh*t chatting session and a few piccies?

 

[Tigger]

Exactly as above - "local" to most of our crew over here means Belfast lol

We could meet somewhere central like say.... Antrim or thereabouts and take a drive from there. Take a few pics, grub & home!

I was thinking a drive up the Glenshane pass and stop at the wind farm for a few photos.
Actually it's a route we had planned last year but the weather made it impossible, but I went anyway

 

[Jonnysh54]

havnt been on in a while and raging i missed this

 

[_Logie]

Keep an eye out for the next one then Jonny

 

[Tigger]

Thinking 23rd October for next meet folks

Will get a wee plan together over the weekend, if you have any ideas or know of any decent feeding spots - fire away..I owe someone a feed remember

 

[_Logie]

Nice one mate, Sunday then is it? Can't really check, stuck in work atm.

What's the plans? Just a drive up and meet? And grub for a special someone !

 

[Tigger]

Anything that works, we'll go for it. Meet somewhere and take a run up the Glenshane pass, stop for a few photos and head for grub & banter.

Me and yourself could take a run home towards Cookstown through the Sperrins - I'd need to recon the route though as I haven't been on that since I bought my dci lol
The city-side people may not want to take that route home - I got told off before for running into an Irish traffic jam (about 50 sheep) on a mountain road

Aye grub's not for you - the Mrs so don't get your hopes up lol

 

[_Logie]

Sounds good mate, will be looking forward to that. Hopefully have these dual optics I'm buying from a guy on here installed and maybe some springs installed! So maybe it won't be the worst looking this time around!

Common scene up around my womans part, those and ducks and cattle just roaming free lol. Some craic so it is though.

Many ya think we will get this time around? Jonny is looking in this time!

 

[Tigger]

Leathal - so we won't be viewing another airshow display then :rasp:

 

[_Logie]

Haha p*ss off ! Was looking at 60mmf -40mmr lowering. Seen cheap springs and tbh as long as they pass MOT I couldn't give a feck about the ride quality.

These springs; http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?601056-When-Lowering

Also remove the mudflaps!

 

[Tigger]

Eibach springs would suit yours well - not sure how much they are though.
On the non-sports they drop the car more and still leave it "comfy"

I'd imagine 60mm would be very crashy, did you get the 172 alloys?

 

[_Logie]

No he pulled out :/ So I'm stuck on these horrible alloys till I work up a few pound for new ones.

I'd like a nice drop but I think 60mm might be a bit much.

Not sure if I should go for rake or just a nice flat looking one. Thoughts mate?

 

[_Logie]

Tigger, I was just looking through my phone and found this;



Pity we didn't get a pic of that tidy Meg.

also; Eibach springs or those Lo suspension ones then? Not sure if I want a nice even drop or a 'face down ass up' drop.

 

[StevenMc29]

Eibach Sportlines for non Sport imo. Roughly a 40/45mm drop and doesn't compromise the ride much.

 

[_Logie]

Cheersd mate, only reason I was looking into those Lo Suspension ones was for price. Still tempted mind you.

 

[StevenMc29]

Never heard of them. But if they are that cheap they might be worth a punt. If they are crap you could probably sell them on without taking much of a hit...

 

[Tigger]

Here you go Liam
