Lauren,

I paid for my place on this day a few days ago, but it still shows my booking as provisional, even though the funds have come out of my account, I've mailed BaT but theyve not replied, any chance you can give them a nudge?

I really don't think that i'm going to be able to get the car sorted in time for this. I'm still awaiting a solution for the mounting of my seats, the harnesses are yet to be fitted, although this wont take a mo. But the main thing holding me back is getting my noisy exhaust sorted! :( I think the Fensport idea is favorite but I gather it will take time for their back box to be ready and i'm shy in terms of cash in any case :cry:

I'm now thinking that a new system is the way forward, which one i'm not sure as yet but HKS seems likely. But even then I still need to sell the Nur to help fund the replacement!

I hope you come along anyway, I can still take you out for some laps if that helps with learning the track.

This is a long shot, but worth a try.....

Does anyone who is going to Donington have (or have access to) a corner weight gauge?

If so could you please bring it with you as I want to borrow one.

We're setting up Tim's race car up properly, but neither of us have a corner weight gauge....

To continue with the long shots...

Does anyone have a Greddy profec boost controller I could borrow the solinoid off? Mines jammed shut so i've no boost controller for the day.

That coupled with the fact i've put a very dry setup on and it looks to be wet it's going to be a fun day :(

Would that work with the latest version of the greddy Patrick? Are you going to be there, your name is on the reserved list not fully booked?

I will be there! It should work as long as the connector is the same, which is why I posted up a picture. What's yours look like?

Alas not a lot like that as it plugs directly into the back of the unit with a small white plug.

I'll try the "hit it with a hammer" trick later on. Worse case I can run with stock boost and I won't even be much down on power, it's just the way the power is delivered with the tsvs engaged that annoys me (ie shoots to .6bar then creeps up to .9).

Will be good to see you again regardless.

Shes nothing special, just a bit of cheap fun... having said that, we've become quite attached to the old girl.

Kinda hoping we'll be able to get some advice on geometry and general car set-up.

Will be good to meet some fellow 2T'ers.
