TOTB4 - Who wants to be involved?

[SIMON W]

dont know if i can help i am new to your website its good i ran a 12.4 last year on my old turbo now i have my new turbo on wich came off fensports car wich was rated at 600 bhp so i am hoping for some good times this year so if there are any places going can you let me know

So far we still have all empty spaces, I'm hoping people will be happy to represent the club based on results so the more times you get between now and the final entry date the better we'll be placed to put people forward.

As it's a club event we need the best cars and drivers we can get to ensure max points and the best chance of securing more places next year

It's going to be hard to choose the team, it was bad enough last year!

Put me down. Although my car's STILL not ready, I'm a lot closer than I was last year, and I'm getting things done at a faster rate too.

Dan crashed his biscuit tin and sold the rear clip. So I guess that will count him out.

Don't be daft - these are Toyota's you know!

I'm preliminarily aiming to start mine up on the 9th of April - however factors beyond my control will influence whether or not there is facilities to drop my engine out and refit the new one.

I then have a full 3 days to put as many miles and oil changes on it as possible before a 2 week holiday. Then when I return from hols I have another 4 days to do the same again - 7 days @ say 400 miles per day = 2800 miles. Then the following weekend aim to get to Thor

Atleast thats my plan of attack and aim to be hitting the drag ways in anger end of May.

[tonigmr2]

Well my trick bodykit parts have arrived...but engine still ain't done!

They've got another 4 weeks yet though, we agreed on May originally

Wanted: 5 standard MR2 turbos with FSH for TOTB4, must be able to hear car running 1 month before event

[Mark Edwards]

Mine is running ok but needs a bit more mapping to get the best from it, hopefully thats happening in the next few weeks but should defo be done by the end of april. Once thats done i'll be running it a few times to see what i can get. Still hoping for very low 12's which is about the best i'm going to be able to offer. [-o<

Please don't put a waste pipe on the roof so that you can shoot pineapples at people when you escape from the pits

Mine works !!! But to be honest, I'd be ashamed to show up in my stocker - having issues with space at the moment and I've been driving around with my bare block in the boot for 2 weeks now !!

plenty of time !

Steve, I can push your car up and down the road whilst your on holiday if you want !!

Build the engine, then its in a position to drop yours out, fit built engine, spend 6 months trying to get it started, then take it up the road, I'll follow precariously with a shovel and wheelie bin !

=D> ... lol ... thought you were using squash to try and get fit!

Building the engine is what I'm trying to do matey .... speaking of which I need to get my shiney pistons down to your neck of the woods so the block can be delivered.

"I'll follow precariously with a shovel and wheelie bin !" .... Thats what I like to here - optimism

[tonigmr2]

Wheelie bin's alright, it's when a skip lorry is following you you should worry, LOL
