Thanks for all your comments and pictures guys

I'm back and in one piece

Couple of spins @ Combe due to semi slicks and really wet conditions (check out the short video in Mixon's Combe pictures)

Was still hitting over 90mph which isn't bad in the wet, the only dry session saw me hitting over 115mph, not bad for a standard motor.

Excellant weekend, though a little damp @ Combe

Car performed great only issue is I need to make some sort of catch pot up for my breather that on the only dry session @ Combe decided to spit oil out everywhere

Didn't run up the strip at the Pod, next time I go I will though.

Good to see j7aoc,frsjon, Max, Tiller, And Gav Stylianousisinusiniususus @ the Pod

ended up with a boot full of his tools/spares

Good to see Luke, and one of the first times I havn't handed him a wad of cash over

Sorry I missed you Dave, I'll see you @ FITP fella

Gary, wondered what happened to you, I don't have your no. so couldn't call you or anything


One of my few pictures



Update tomorrow on my latest little purchase for the car

Oh dont speak to soon sunshine

[heeman10]

Your car looked great in my rear view at Combe If only I'd seen you there because I'd just overtaken you. Sadly, as we both know, it was because I was recovering from the infield...and then again as you recovered from the infield, and so on Great first outing for it, we'll have to go out together in the dry! I did manage to time you for two laps but they were both over 2:00 in the drenched 2:15pm session. We'll have to get tweaking and get back out there before too long - two different approaches doing fairly similar things I reckon!

[chazza]

i want it

[purple_fiesta]

Any pics of it on track?

[bakewell001]

Looks really good. Has definately come on leaps and bounds since you've had it.

[Turboboy67]

, but you will all have to wait a bit longer for pictures ,
they will now be with me next week, damn it

Also today, after my comment about Luke yesterday things are back to normal,

when I see him again more cash will be handed over for his full set of polycarb windows , I have all but fronts in atm but wanted his fronts with sliders in, so I bought them all, I will put my ones in the for sale section soon if anybody is interested in the rear side a rear screen ones.

James, if you want to book another track day @ Combe I'm there in July for the Bristol & Swindon RSOC regional day, which is an excellant show. track action is better also as you come off track and just queue up again to go back on,

I'm already booked on as is I think Luke is, anybody interested can book online using paypal here;

http://www.rscombe.com/online_booking.htm

just over £100 but, I did 11 sessions a couple of years ago so well worth it

[garyhurn77]

[Turboboy67]

I'm sure I will

[muz]

On the plus side I will be at FITP so I'll have to see which way your going up and join you along the way as I'm coming from Gloucester way. I wont be in WRN Though I'll take the XR2i.

[Turboboy67]

We will be going down the M3 mate, you will probably go on down the M4, but you are welcome to join us, I live approx 1hr from the Bath junction on the M4.

This sums up the weather @ Combe on Saturday

[jayrs]

[Turboboy67]

Yes, with complete engine and gearbox though

Did you get your inlet off of Jon mate?

[jayrs]

bugger
no not yet, hes texted to say hes got it.

cheers to the pair of ya for that

[White2i]

love the look of this car, top work mate, got some good plans for it to, with the 2litre and the throttle bodies should make it a very good track weapon.

[hb69]

i think i saw the fiesta briefly on track, we went past so quickly i didnt get a good look at it though

Well its about time mate end of thr month is pay day..


Almost booked Combe today mate, il book it tomorrow. Just worried that il book it and the dam thing wont be mapped.. in time.

But if its not they can pay for the track day.

[Turboboy67]

i think i saw the fiesta briefly on track, we went past so quickly i didnt get a good look at it though

You did go past me, but after 2 spins and on semi slick tyres I didn't push it afterwards,
when the track dryed out on the 10.45 session I was in my element

If I see a car coming up behind me I'm happy to pull over and let them past

Luke, good lad, get it booked mate

[luca]

Luke, good lad, get it booked mate

You best keep your eye on your rear veiw mirror theres a new kid in town!

[Turboboy67]

Small update

Things are back to normal with Luke and myself,

we meet, I hand over a large bundle of cash

Tonight was my full set of Polycarb windows

I was halfway through making my own with just the fronts to make/fit,

but seeing as Luke is getting some tinted ones made I made an offer on his old ones.

So, I've already sold mine, and these will hopefully be fitted at the weekend

My throttle bodies are somewhere between South Wales and my place

They should be here by the weekend, pictures as soon as they arrive

[White2i]

going well mate, look forward to some pictures and cant wait to get your window set of you

[garyhurn77]

you shouldve asked me to collect them for you i need to give you your rear lights back at some point

[Turboboy67]

There probably miles from you mate, there in Saundersfoot, Pembrokeshire.

They have been sent so its just a matter of waiting now.

No worries on the lights mate, I have 4 other spare sets

Let me have them at one of the bigger shows.

[Turboboy67]

Throttle bodies/Megasquirt arrived today





Just got to figure out where these wires go now

Thankfully the lad I bought it all off has kindly labelled them all for me

[ads_t]

Nice, i take it these are for the new 2.0 zetec engine you have?

Should sound the business
