So far I have had:

Paid:
Kirsty and Flatpack (gonna get a double!)
blokey
A&A
Mk1Chris
Mike DC2 owner
Dave/bburn
Lauren
Ziggy
Jaik

Responses from:
Jo and G (awaiting payment)

Possibly:
Toni

Is anyone else likely to turn up? I've booked 2 cabins so far but those are the cheap ones. As soon as they get filled, i'll need to book smaller cabins that work out a little bit dearer, so the price might go up.

According to cadwell park the noise limit is 105dB... obviously it depends on the test - if it's drive by, the measurement will be lower than shoving the mic up the tail pipe!

So i think the bat site is wrong, but 100dB is more the figure to look at rather than 94

You'll still be fine in a MK1 - even with a Magnex / Mongoose exhaust & cone filter. The combination doesn't generate more than 89dB @ 4500rpm

Are you booking the trackday or coming along to have a look? If you do, bring a crash helmet with you and blag some passenger rides - they are free!

The MK1 is quite capable of track days on standard suspension set-up. Koni's would be nice, but KYB's are a cheaper non-adjustable option too :thumleft:
Just make sure the callipers are 100% operational and fitted with decent pads.

If you guys are comming along to watch/passenger, Either myself or Jo will be more than happy to give some passengering.
Unfortunately I can't passenger on track anymore (especially Cadwell) as I get terribly car sick :( :oops:

We should have MK1's at Cadwell running OEM/Stock, KYB, Koni & Leda suspension setups (possibly also Tokico). Try go out in each and make up your own mind :thumleft:
The springs chosen will also make a huge difference :thumleft:

BaT website seems to think its 105db now, when I looked before it varied depending on which page you were looking at!
