South West Beginning of Year Combined Meet - RR + Photos + Karting

[The Fatty]

Depends when, my target for the grey one is Christmas.

I'm on it, I've got about 10 to send out! 😧

I would hope the meet would be early December, but obviously depends on RR availability. I know you dont like the ramp rates, but I just thinking that if your not planning a run, we might as well use Tipton again. Otherwise at the moment it will be Dave in Barnstaple. He has loads of parking and is normally working on some nice old lotus's etc.

Not sure if needed for invoice but the millage was around 92200.

 

[The Fatty]

Looking forward to this :smile:

I'll try not to spin out so many times if we happen to go in-door karting again this time! lol. I blame it on my lack of weight last time, I was down to 74Kgs!

 

[McGherkin]

Karting definitely has to happen again, I've missed it. Plymouth's track is awesome though, (pop pop bang bang) but I would like to try out Exeter.

 

[The Fatty]

Exeter is the one with the bridge iirc, id also like to do that one! Even if no one else comes, I'm up for it

 

[McGherkin]

Perhaps we should have a scouting expedition to see if it's any good

 

[The Fatty]

Perhaps we should have a scouting expedition to see if it's any good :wink:

if only I had the time... if I do happen to find time though I will give you a shout!

 

[Dan@SJM]

It's not me not liking the ramp rates, it's the engines. 30 seconds of flat out with a not very good fan is asking for trouble. And when I'm running a £10k+ engine, I'd sooner go somewhere with a decent roller setup.

perfectly understandable :up:

This is the inside of Daves place last time I went about 2 years ago. I believe he has converted the room of to the side as a viewing area. Not sure he has any bigger / better fans than Tipton...

 

[The Fatty]

Theres also this place http://www.mbmotor-sport.com/11.html

Alan Jeffrey's name is mud. Do not want!

Can I ask ???? Have had various dealings with in the past. Was going to go there for RR. Any info ?!?

 

[McGherkin]

he's alright with scoobies but when it comes to other cars it's a bit of a minefield. I know of several cases where cars have had to be fixed elsewhere because they've either died or come close to it after going there. I have heard of a car coming out with a standard turbo when it went in with an uprated one, but I've not seen concrete evidence for that one.

 

[cliovirgin]

LOL. Some years ago, used to have a WRX STI 555. Did seem as though used as learning curve !

Rolling road for me may be a no go will still pop down though will see

 

[The Fatty]

Just a quick update on this. It seems quite a few people would be more willing to attend if the event takes place after Christmas, so we are no looking to make this a 'Beginning of year' event instead of 'End of year'!

 

[Lawro]

I'm game, location dependant.

In the TT? Dont think they have a 4wd RR...

I can just pull the fuse on the Haldex so no big issue mate. :smile:

 

[The Fatty]

I did not know the was possible!

 

[Lawro]

I did not know the was possible! :smile:

Yes mate, because it's haldex controlled you can pull the fuse to force it into using 2WD. Can't be driven as it will overheat but will be fine for a couple of runs. We did it on @TomSx 's TT QS at the last Tipton meet before you arrived.

We like to do a season opener and a season closer at the end of the year, on the same dyno, so that people can see any power differences from mods they've made during the year

 

[Luke0103]

@The Fatty i will see how goes with dan tomorrow and if it gets a clean bill of health that it is ok will let you know about the rr sorry to be a pain in the ass

no problem, you have time now to sort things out as its not until Jan now :smile: this is only the 'interest' thread, not the real event thread. All those on the list will get notified when that goes up, so I wont take you off anyway.
