Im not sure Neil, would the Celica CC radiator fit?? you know about these things better than me!

The TTE CC is a 205 but has extra row (deeper) and the case is renforced to stop

Howdy chaps,

Well my car is currently running around on 1 bar and off to Thor on saturday :) - everyone should have an external wastegate :twisted:

I'm a bit netless at the mo due to a job change so cant monitor this thread.

Pencil me in, car should be running around 1.5/6 bar with plenty of nitrous on top after saturday.

Given I was nailing mid 12's with standard ems, standard engine, standard turbo and just a 50 shot. I'm expecting much better :D
Small turbos - they're not big and they're not clever!

Just say NO to small turbos!

Michael - I've pm'd my mobile number to you. Please keep me informed as to whats happening with this. Are 5 people being picked to send off their cheque's, or should we all send them off and the only the runners have theirs cashed?

Will be off line for a day or so now.

Those in the team section need to finish building their cars and get cheques and entry forms off asap - ideally this week and please send them recorded delivery.

Anyone not on the list who wants to be should get in touch asap, those in the reserves will not have cheques cashed unless they end up taking part in the event.

As mentioned before anyone who wants to help out in the pits or on the display stand is more than welcome, it would be really good if someone else could help me with the stand to be honest as I'll probably be tied up elsewhere for most of the event.

Xxxx if your car is still in one piece please feel free to copy and paste the lists above and move your name, don't forget you'll need to go around corners as well ;)

I consider you worthy, right now anyone who can fill a form in and write a cheque is :)

Seriously though you've already put in some good times so stick your name down on the main or reserve list, wherever you feel happy :)

Cheers mate, just needs a few tweaks here and there but it's pretty much ready as it is i reckon.

The only donwside for me is that it'll probably take me a good 5 hrs to drive up there!!! :shock:

Is there going to be camping there or does anyone live nearish that can lend me their sofa for the night? :P

I'm close by and happy to lend floor and driveway space out if necessary, my only problem at the moment is that we may have family up the same weekend so I can't be 100% as yet.

In the meantime these might be useful:

Hotels

http://www.totb.co.uk/redline-totb-iv/hotels.asp

B&Bs

http://www.totb.co.uk/redline-totb-iv/guest-houses.asp

Camping

http://www.totb.co.uk/redline-totb-iv/campsites.asp

So one place left as far as I'm concerned, if you know anyone who should be on there or want to be involved yourself please make contact asap, those 4 brave chaps already down need to fill the form in and get it off with a cheque in the next couple of days, could you also send me a quick private message or email with your full name (I know them but confirm them anyway), your car details and a rough bhp figure as the organisers seem to like to quote that, if you could also confirm a rough personal best on the 1/4 that would be nice.

Don't forget that the 3rd of July is a practice day at Elvington if you want to get a feel for things.

Reserves still needed in case of problems or additional places being allocated, we may get to enter more than 5 cars....

*Sobs into beer*

I so thought this was the year for the TC...*sigh*

It may or may not be ready, and I don't want to take an IMOC place and let anyone down. :(
Step up folks, I think it's very important we keep up our presence in this event!

You sound like me toni... I've not mentioned anything about joining in yet... I'll have confidence when my engines running !! At the moment, the blocks on the floor in my garage and the heads in the back of my car ! :shock: See what I can do over the next week !

Michael, I'll keep in touch .. again, when i get the engine running, get a couple of days grace at it, then I'll report back and you can sling me on the reserve list like last year.

Well done mark edwards for coming forward... get yourself up here, you'll have a great day... they'll be loads of us kicking about, so if you bu88er up anything, I'll have my tools with me :mrgreen: Don't worry about the handling, as long as you can drive, the track is very abrasive, so you should be able to move a few of your organs about ! :mrgreen:

Steve cordiner - that car should be lightening quick on the straight, certainly sounds like a bike with the way its revving to 8k and the external gate blowing off !!!

Andy F - Good luck chap, you need some !
Jonno - hurry up, all you've done the past few years is spectate !! :mrgreen:

I'll stick on the reserve list - went to see the car yesterday, the bodywork modifications are almost done and even if I say so myself are pretty awesome :D Photos taken and will follow! It should be sprayed and out of the shop by second week July.

Question is will the engine be ready to drop in at that point??! Am going to try.

Dont remind me !!

I went to see Bri this morning at Powerhouse, the engine is running pretty well - tickover isnt great until its warm but then I have lost 50cc and changed the CR so I cant complain too much about the cold start map being out :)

Overall the engine is sounding sweet - new clutch is great. Going to pick her up to start running in tommorow, should be finished and mapped in about two weeks!
