Nice

What Alfa do you have Martin?

G-Power do a nice 200mph supercharger kit for my BMW

Rog

 

new alternator required for scooby now-argh
alfa is 147 sport in alfa red mmm
martin
ps autodelta do a supercharger for it!

 

Chnaged the pads on the scoob yesterday to find one of the front braided lines neary worn through! Glad I found that yesterday and not Sunday/Monday! New ones will be fitted tomorrow evening along with a flush through of brake fluid, the stuff in there is bright blue like anti-freeze, supposed to be very good stuff, but it is years old! New battery required too

 

Well worth using some Castrol SRF or Motul RBF600 Stu

To my surprise, my wee EVO is still working, although it feels slow after going shopping in my m8 Russ's 2.4l GT35R powered VI

Tony - on your 355 set up, you'll be pulling stoppies

Rog

 

I don't know what fluid Dave has ordered for me, I'll find out later, bound to be good stuff though, he usually gets me the same as he gets for his rally car

 

Wish I was coming along.

 

picking up subaru today new alternator and battery!
martin
ps if anyone is a member of northloop 75 experience are doing a ring walk on sunday evening
martin

 

Have fun chaps - wish I was coming with you but will have to make do with a 5* hotel in Zante, them's the breaks!! Next time tho, the Type R needs a run out

 

bet you are jealous deep down!
martin

 

You've changed cars again Marv?!?!?! Can't keep up, but at least you've gone back to a decent scoob! What's the spec?

 

That's me all set - glad you got the Scoob sorted Martin - I saw your comment on NL!

See you folks on Saturday

Rog

 

Got the brakes sorted on the scoob last night, just need to finish packing tonight and I'm set. See you on Saturday

 

Awesome Trip, despite my car's clutch dying in Holland on the way out

Great to meet up with everyone again

BIG thanks to Paul, Stevie, Don & Martin for giving me lifts and to Ewan & Phil for giving me a shot of their cars at Spa

Here's a compilation of some footage I took along the way

martin

 

i see what you mean now re the flies roger!!
martin

 

Cool to meet all,

P1doc glad you got home Ok.

See you all next year on Combo or the Transcontinental blast

Any one fancy buying a Spec C ?

Castle Combe on Monday, cant wait

Stormy

 

one careful owner not raced or rallied
good to meet the plant/*** eater!
martin

 

Must agree, great trip.

Good to see old faces, nice to meet new ones. Unfortunatley I now know the meaning of 'pink sock'. Don't think I'll be explaining that to anyone else I know!

Thanks Mark & Stormy

Also thanks to Mark for a great lap at the Ring. And to Don for some fast Spa laps.

Tony

 

Looks like another fun trip was had by all - think I'd sooner have been with you lot than in Zante to be honest, need some abroad 'action'

Stu - the Type R is fairly standard (at the moment!), just the usual bits to get it over the 300 mark. Having a complete respray and underseal first, then onto the engine

Rog - can't think how you keep getting through clutches!!

Stormy/Mark - please keep me posted with forthcoming events

 

I still think we ought to do a week in Scotland! Rog may get to the start in one piece then, and if he does break the Evo again then he get to his backup BM quickly!

 

Top idea Stu - rather fancy a drive round the highlands

 

Was thinking of a summer blast in Wales, Tony and i chatted about it after too many beers.

Marv you were missed

 

Or Wales sounds good too. Sometimes seems daft to drive right across Europe when we haven't explored "home" yet!!

 

did you get my pm?
too many beers you haha
martin

 

Possibly

yep got email, just need to sort out pricing for all peeps

 

great this year i got fobbed off by the evo driver with an 07 one-cheeky beggar!
rog-any word re dvd yet?could you send me the compilation one as well-thanks
martin

 

Not as much as I missed you lot

Let me know when the plans have come to fruition and, all things being equal, I'll be there

 

rog has a slightly more powerful new car 460 bhp evo 8 mr rs!
martin

 

And this one has nothing to break down: no AYC, no ACD, no ABS, no aircon, no electric windows, no central locking etc etc

No, it's not a 2CV

But it will lap Knockhill in 56s on R888s



Full HKS Super engine
Custom FP Green BB turbo
EXE-TC suspension
AP Brakes
Quaife centre diff
Carbon Prop
etc etc

460bhp/460lbft on VPower, 490bhp/480lbft on Sunoco109

Nice!
