I'm booked!

Get in there.

[oldroydsr4]

Sorry mate, would but my engines on the garage floor, for rebuild & turbo conversion. Will be getting it ready for the ring in the summer. Are there any trips planned with the zone.

I normally go for easter weekend with a few mates , then a road trip to amsterdam via the autobahns.

[Davenotouring]

Sounds good!

I will be sorting something out for summer I would think.

I am gonna sort something out for late April/Early May, and then again for mid/late Summer.

[mattG]

can you turn up on the day

[oldroydsr4]

Sounds good, i think the car shold be ready for the summer trip.

Well up for that.

[Davenotouring]

mattG...

You might be able to, if you don't mind driving a fair few miles to find out yes/no.

It might be worth giving them a call the day before. I would do that.

Oldroydsr....good stuff.

[M5pilot]

I'm going Silverstone on the 31st of Jan. If money allows I shall join you at Snetterton too.

Sal

[Davenotouring]

What's the score with Silverstone on that date Sal? Is it BMW only?

I'm tempted to do the 27th at Brands, but if Silverstone is available on the 31st I might come and do that!

I'm doing Bedford in Feb too! Woohoo!

[Taffy]

who's running the day on the 31st?

[harry_p]

is the snetterton day open pit or sessioned? can't see it mentioned anywhere on the site

[harry_p]

doh, i was looking at the 27th.

i'm deffo interested in the 20th, will have to wait and see what the money situation is after the end of the holiday period

[Davenotouring]

Don't know who's running the 31st! Dunno if I'm gonna be able to do it. Spent over £500 on beer over the new year weekend. D'oh.

broken rocker is what happens when u fit a ignition cut rev limiter (bee-r) and are constantly on the limiter,,,,

turbo=problems

2nd gbox nearly on the way out,
clutch done
diff whiney
turbo gaskets gone twice,
many tyres worn out
3 sets of front pads and rears
4 oil changes

12k miles

but all worth it when u beat a e30 m3 evo2 track prepped on ledas and caged on slicks by moe than 15 seconds around cadwell park!!

[Dan318-is]

I think its the abuse you give it K!

[maxfield]

i tihnk tyres and clutch is something to do with drivinf always sideways i think when i seen u at ace you were side ways.

an evo2 whats rong with a 215 model

how much hp has your car got guessing 300hp+ depending on boost

[Karan]

under 300, prob close to 280-90ish on 1.0bar, but i run bout .9 on track....

ace is just pissing around wrongness,on track when fluids get hot and there's lots of g forces throwing fluids around is when stuff goes bad. Sone things are pretty flawed on the car, eg the gbox suffers surge on cornering which is a nissan fault, valve springs too soft for the fairly high limit of 7.5k so u get float. bmws mush stronger than jap cars, especially modified jap cars!!

i am trying to iron out the probs like overheating afetr 8laps ish which is very annoying....prob need a bigger rad and more holes in the front bumper

Sal

wot car u in sal?

[E30BeemerLad]

should 'ave got a soarer old chap, these things are built like nuclear bunkers and over-engineered to the hilt, especially the V8 engine, sadly no V8 manual though, a few 1jz manuals about though

[Karan]

yeh they are a tad pricey if something does go pop though.... and try getting anything 2nd hand for them.

manual turboes available from japland innit???

[Karan]

toyotas have always been stronger cars than nissans

[maxfield]

wait till you get the s38 done now that will be a beast

what you doing about the diff? zmcoupe variable lock up jobbie

[E30BeemerLad]

there's plenty being fragged on egay, twin turbo manuals are out there, a fair bit of supra stuff bolts onto these cars too, but not in the engine dept. MK4 TT supra stuff won't go on the 1jz lump. but suspension, drivetrain, brakes etc are all Supra swapover

probably not much more thirsty that what you're seeing if you're ranting the c*ck off it everywhere

[Karan]

3.64 e30 lsd...... goddamit always fixing the jap turd and no time to weld up some water pipes for the e30!!!!

[Davenotouring]

Karan,

You abuse that car to death, much like I do the Civic.

I'm on my third Gearbox, fifth CV joint, many other repairs etc. It'd live forever driven normally but it's always at 8.5k and for about an hour a time!

WHERE'S SAL! SILVERSTONE INFO PLEASE!!

[Kos]

i'm going to be in the area, visiting family up there, might have to pass by and watch and hitch a hot lap from one of the nutters here!!

[Davenotouring]

Go for it Kos, join us for a cup 'o' tea and a lap. Bring a helmet.

Less than a week to go! Woohoo!!

i'll bring a lid and a spare pair of pants, i know how you and karan drive

i'll give you a shout during the week, what time you getting there for ??

[Davenotouring]

0730, but that's for the breifing and tea & coffees!

Track action starts at 0900 I think! Hopefully see you there mate. Give us a bell.

[Karan]

woohoo almost there cant wait

car proper track ready now..huuugue rad and oil cooler fitted, brakes etc all done AGAIN!

but car has suddenly developed a vibration (like wheel balance issue) at 65-80mph, all suspension is nice and tight so must have knocked off the weights or something???? really pissing me off steering vibrates like fuk!!!
has wheels balanced tmro hope that solves it (pleeeeeeeease god-i fix this thing more than the e30 and i dont even drive it fast on the rd)---so gonna get an e46 m3 for my nxt track car-will keep silvia for drift though

i have ants in my pants over snetterton cant wait....

[Davenotouring]

Yeah mate, just replied in FAO.

We're ready to roll up here geeza!

[Karan]

[Dan320is]

Here's a small selection of photo's from today, not entirely pleased with them but here you go!


























Dave you are a loon in that civic, FWD is not meant to be that fun!
And how the hell you and Karan missed each other when you span is a miracle! Poor old Horner nearly had a heart attack!

Cheers for the passenger ride mate! Awesome!
