Cracking day, cheers all for organising it! I need to add suncream to the tool box!

 

There were a couple spins and @Matt brown offering an off-road experience but everyone made it off the track ok! This event was 1 car at a time so the only danger is your right foot. Plenty of space to get it wrong and come out the other side ok as you find the limits of your grip/talent.....like I did  haha

Well I aim to provide a full experience.

Was a fantastic day a finding the limits since the turbo and LSD was fitted.

Thanks to everyone that came and hopefully we will be able to do something else in the future

I'll aim to get there by 0900 to start setting up unless Matt and Jas who are taking most of the gear are getting there earlier. Signing on shouldn't take more than a few minutes and we can't be noisy before 1000 but we could maybe do a slow lap or two for sighting purposes. 

The top loop is the oval and figure eight part at the top end without the sweeping left hand turn from the Western end of the circuit. I think they don't allow use of this part for private sessions as the speeds can get a bit to high to use safely without having marshals everywhere. We will try and use part of the bottom end of the circuit for slowing down after the end of the laps no one needs to be braking hard at the end of a run.

Fingers crossed 9am should be fine depends on finishing work early enough tomorrow to nip to the wholesalers to get food and consumables. If not I'll have to nip on the way

Also just to let everyone know there will be some club clothing available.

Hats, T-Shirt, hoodie also i will bring along some stickers

I didn't take any. It's at the innovation centre just around the corner

I'm getting an overlap of the title and my details in top right corner.   This is in Firefox and Chrome, it is OK in EDGE,

 

Just to confirm is this on mobile site or desktop site?

A flat head screw driver and hammer to get the clip out

I use these for oil tap into the block and to the turbo. Ether T into the oil pressure gauge hole or about 6 inches towards the back of the engine from the oil pressure switch there's another hole with a grub bolt in it which is the same as the oil pressure switch one, which is what I used

And this into the turbo feed

Nothing else required for oil feed

That's my new bracket

You will have to clock the turbo in the housing. (Not a nice or easy job) but it is pretty simple just have a look on YouTube how to do it. Only thing with that though is you will need to make a bracket to hold the actuator as it will no longer fit on the original mount points

Trevor harmer from the nwkcog has been in talks with CKC and Santa Pod to piggy back onto show but will be having a dedicated area I believe

td04L from a Subaru Impreza, should be able to get a used one in good nick for less than £100 mine was £50 from eBay

Top day guys!
