Has anyone got a forecast, hope it's a dry day. Looking forward to another great ppc trackday.

Bit early to get a reliable weather forecast yet, but I do predict a moderate headache with sicky patches for you mate

...and possibly high winds!!

seems like a dry but very cold day andrew! ideal for the soft slicks

I'll br bringing a set of slicks, snow tyres and some baldy A021 Yokohamas.... But like every other event, the car will run on whatever tyres it rolls off the trailer with, which is currently one baldy 205/60/13 A021R, one ACB10 in 205/60/13 and another ACB10 in 185/60/13. It only has three wheels fitted at the moment.....and only one front hub.

Do they have a full compliment of things to fasten wheels to?.....


The joys of storing your car on the seabed.....

Yes, and they're often seen wielding lumps of 4x2

How did the gearbox transplant go Froggy. Are you nearly ready. I've been working on my front disc's and carriers today and the air vents, but not sure I'll have the vents done for Blyton.

Nickp - 23/3/14 at 06:06 PM

You still chewing gearboxes up froggy?

froggy - 23/3/14 at 06:16 PM

The 4.45 diff feels ok but a bit short for motorway work so will go back to the 4.05 once its rebuilt . Cured my boost leak and in low boost copes ok but really needs the atb to get it down .

Nick , I've broken enough to hear the warnings which is a little crunch on 3rd synchro so pulled it before it spits anything into the quaife diff . Il be able to see how much the atb pushes the front end with the open diff but Il have to live with it as I can't get it down without the quaife diff

Handling is always going to be interesting whatever I do but at least I can catch up on the straight bits as the guy in the 700hp rs4 found out at rockingham last weekend
