Demlot leaning out the window as he heard a slight rattle from his valve cap!

Just joking dude, you know I love ya!! And Whipped Cream!!!

Simon13 was smooth and consistent, except when his tyre popped! Another one reluctant to move out the way for fast cars! hahahah

Stuart, glad you had a good time, organisation was no real problem. Hope everyone had fun. I facking did!!

Barry, next time I'll more than happily take yours out. You can try mine too if you like. And the Nissan! hahahaha

still got the snoarer and currenly slowly molesting a touring on the driveway. The jap wagon may go once the touring is in daily driver health, not sure if i'll regret losing the reliability but won't miss the 18mpg thirst. At least I can keep it off the super unleaded, unlike you boost jockeys :D

More Nob Jockey than boost jockey, I ran a mere 0.7 bar at the 'Ring. I could produce more using a bicycle pump.

I want a 'RICER' t-shirt.

I love it how people in the car park look at my car like it's a turd (cos it's not a CSL or M or 911) and then I pass them on track. :roll:

Fair few wan*ers out there this weekend.

in the uk people pass them off as 'drift trouble maker dori dori' chariots

in germany they are simply passed off as japanese wrongness.

dunno if you remember the first year i went with u guys in 2006 was hilarious as there was a group of japs visiting and they were loving horners and mine s14s... everyone else didnt even take a second glance.

there is definitely a lot of anti german car hatred there, with the csl/gt3 crowd being the worst :evil:

r888s dave and you will be flying past them

Once I get my oil cooler fitted and can put the boost to 1 bar (or more if need be - haha) They won't laugh when I sit with them! :roll: :mad: :D

I've got a set of Bridgestone RE070s to go on. :D

Yeah I remember that with the S14s!

Apparently the Jap Car crew spend too much time with their bonnets up showing off dump valves......I did that, to check the oil and water and then closed it again and went for a lap.

The Supercar crew were worst. There was an English Diablo there who did a lap, and then took up a space in the main car park for the rest of the day :roll:

Jon, if you are worried about reliability then consider flying to Cologne. Rent a car to get you there and then get PAX laps or rent a car to drive round. There are rental companys popping up everywhere at the 'Ring now.

We have a huge jap crap vs Euro trash thing in my class at uni, its all good fun though and just for a laugh. thing is, some people take it too seriously. Who cares at the end of the day, being different is the best thing.

Great piccies btw, and im really jealous i wasn't there, getting overtaken by everything.lol

Because, if it all went batty shaped (again!), i couldnt or wouldnt afford a re-shell at this time, simple as that!

3rd trip for me and was the best by far, was worried that as i was not driving i wouldnt enjoy it, err, WRONG!

Such a good bunch of twats this trip, grazzing all the way!

F*ck am I jealous. I could have paid for the trip and a few laps for the boys and a night out for all of us on the dough I lost in Vegas!!!!

I'm not surprised with the comments like "great bunch of guys" comes as no surprise. This site has the best bunch anywhere on the WWW.

Glad it all went well.

Si, did this engine feel significantly slower than the last?

All your car needs is a mechanic that knows what hes doing :D

Honestly simon i dont see why you need to focus on my bad driving - it was my second trip with my car which has been off the road for two years, i didnt know the track and i had to get used to my car again. Funny how you dont tell everyone how easy it was for me to get past you at the end of the weekend :wink:

Ladies. Handbags down.

With an additional 50bhp and the awesome weight distribution(read carbon bonnet winkeye ) I'd have been disapointed if I wasnt lapping him! :)

Whens the next trip guys?

don't start taking it all the wrong way for God's sake

50bhp? try 70bhp IF my engine makes stock power, but it does go to show you that knowledge is key not power

Barry had over 100 more bhp!
