TOTB4 - Who wants to be involved?

[stevecordiner]

Lol ...

[Nelo]

Any updates on this then? Might go over and watch as a spectator and show some support for my fellow hairdressers =D>

You can't get black flagged at TOTB can you?

[michael]

Any updates on this then?

Just waiting for people to stop blowing their cars up or finish builds, we've got a few people who have put 12's in already though so there should be a fair bit of competition

10's would be nice though

As for black flags, I'm sure you could manage it squire... even without a car.

[tonigmr2]

I got a phone call yesterday....

....


My chassis modifications are finished!!

My custom bodyparts have arrived from the states...

....

Still no news on the engine tho'...

Argh!

But they do have until May...

Mitch, I've got about another £5k's worth to spend on the car to get it competitive, to sort out things like, brakes, suspension, turbo, tyres, gearbox, etc. All those won't make it quicker up the quarter or top speed (although the gearbox needs doing in order to be able to drive it properly again!), but are needed to give it a chance on the handling circuit.

Now, all I need to do now is land myself a nice new contract to be able to afford it!

Pah ! Stock suspension, stock brakes ! I would have had an even quicker time too if I didn't try a starsky and hutch move at the first turn ..... floor it ... and, turn, and realise 90 is not a good speed entering into some 140 degree turn ... ooops, ooo ya bu88er, opposite lock, cars out of balance, then another opposite lock ( counter ) - looked like ruddy pete at donington ... then thought, rollocks, put it down and deal with it, straightened itself up, then oo ya bu88er, out on the corner again !! ( okay , repeat that several times, then you have me the clown going round the circuit ! ) Very sloppy - thought, right - thats the worse, time to improve..... then it was like parking up on the M25 for another run

Mental note - those 265's tyres were worse than the 235's Eagle F1's I run daily !!!

Mental note too... watch others this year do it !! Besides, I hate pushing my car !!

Dino, changing water hoses on such a busy day isn't cricket ! Then that grim reaper ( aka andy forster ) was lurking about !!

[MR2Mania]

Pah ! Stock suspension, stock brakes !

Yes, but you have talent! Your time was STONKING, considering everything!

*I've* got to make up for a driver that's more in tune with driving diesels, lately!

Dino, changing water hoses on such a busy day isn't cricket !

Errr, no, it ain't! Oh well, at least we got to know each other!

Then that grim reaper ( aka andy forster ) was lurking about !!

Hey, that guy got taken out in my car by Ian Ashton when it was up there! No wonder things haven't run smoothly since.

Right, I'll sort that out... (deletes Andy's no from his mobile!).

I honestly think I will have to pull out of the running for TOTB4 - I have to much on the go at the moment and I am not sure I want to commit to anything car wise for a good few months or have the stress of getting my car ready for the event. Thoyght it would be best to say so now rather than leave it to the last moment.

Mate, never say never!

What about being a reserve in case others drop out? Anything can happen! We need to OVER subscribe so that we ensure we've got the numbers on the day, don't you agree?

Well I am 90% ready this year already, just waiting for one single little part....

[michael]

just waiting for one single little part....

Engine? Chassis? MR2?

Err, actually it was aimed at me!

Don't worry Neil, I'm on the case!!!

[michael]

Ah yes, that's cool

[Nelo]

Ah yes, that's cool

[JJ]

Yes, but you have talent!

For driving people up the wall and eating !

got to make up for a driver that's more in tune with driving diesels

Turbocharged isn't it ? no excuses grandpa.

Oh well, at least we got to know each other!

I normally make a point of introducing myself when I' not fuming at the ears... didn't know who you were until I got home and chatted to a few others on the board !!!

Thought you were just a friendly tourist !

Pete, built your engine yet ?
James, built your engine yet ?
Jonno, fixed your engine yet ??
Michael, hows the Galaxy Class Enterprise ?

Still no news on the engine tho'...

Toni, if you get stuck, I've got a mk2 turbo rear clip that can be shoehorned into the little car in an afternoon !!

[michael]

Comfy

Jeez, you were up early this morning! No engine built yet, pistons have been sent over to Chris Wilson to be machined. My car wouldn't have the spec or pace that you guys would have lol. Think i'll stick to my humble trackdays and drift events as that's what I built it for

If anybody needs a driver though

[JJ]

If anybody needs a driver though

I'd get more satisfaction breaking it myself ! If I drive this autobox for another few months, I may forget I've got a left arm !!!!!!

[Nelo]

If I drive this autobox for another few months, I may forget I've got a left arm !!!!!!

Sure how could you forget you have a left arm? Were you not telling me before that you were left handed and hadn't got a girlfriend for a few months?

[JJ]

Were you not telling me before that you were left handed and hadn't got a girlfriend for a few months?

Lol ! pete, how do you get into situations like that when you know if someones left handed or right handed !!!

For the record, I'm right handed & 5 years !!
