New arch liner fitted. Once I get the vinyl wrap on the bumper it will be like the car never even saw the deer. Borrowing "The Pit" this evening to dump the oil, change the oil sensor, oil filter and refill oil. Got some adjustable top mounts en route. They will be tricky to fit as I will have to fit the new coilover plates that are currently stuck on the threads first otherwise it will drop another 10mm or so. Not sure when I will find the time to do the suspension, either got to be done on a sunny weekend or in a months time when I have a week off.

Bunnyhops, not so much, but pedal up to back and front, yes they do. Infact they seem to be much more popular than taps nowadays, and probably higher.

Sidehop: +60 (Damon+others) Taps: unknown but I have have done 53 so I assume again near 60" (TRA/Gilles?) Gaps: Definitely +10 (Tunnicliffe) maybe 11 now? But we don't care for this anymore, it is more the line that goes with it.

They are cool looking rotors

Awesome video. I want to ride like that.

21st works for me! See you guys there

This topic is a f**king mess. I like the new arcade, I like the old arcade. I like the archives, I like the consoles. What I don't like is my bike. Someone give me a better frame

Just make sure it is welded the correct way round or you will be undoing the bb with every pedal stroke

Probably abit too far for me. Shame, looks like a cool circuit.

Yall didn't see shit. I hadn't seen her for nearly a week and we were essentially squatting, why not. Jardo, I didn't think we were going to talk about the duvet and you freaking out that a smoker was smoking in a smokers duvet any more. I don't even think they were your cigs Also, post at the top of the page is pretty damn racist. But unfortunately, most likely true.

Could just have a personal waiver to make sure no one gets sued?

I think I would rather ride a micro scooter around the track then bend my body around a dinky bike.
-
I agree, circles everywhere! Get the 2.4m, I'm sure you'll use it for something.

Hi Luke, I completely forgot to get an assembled damage pic before work commenced, however I do have some pictorial updates: As you can see to replace the headlights is a fair amount of effort. Most of that effort is the disassembly, removal and then the subsequent reassembly and installation of an old bumper with bits of broken plastic, bent under metal and the snapping of 50% of the rusted fixings. Had to insert several threaded rivets throughout. Had to replace plastic locators with drilled and angle ground spacers and aralditing them into place. Basically a huge ball ache. However, lights are in and aligned, angle eyes are wired in, new S2000 cone, brakes are all bled and working well (No more double braking YAY). Also had the wheels aligned as best as possible after new tyres caused a rubbing. This is the best they could do: So my wheels are basically all over the place with no adjustment at the rears and all possible adjustment used on the fronts. Great. Can I get top mounts for my Weitec Hicon GT's? If so, where and how much? The guy also managed to snap a bolt on the hub to wishbone connection, but replaced it for me which was nice/good/appreciated. Still need to dump the oil, replace the oil filter and level sensor and refill the oil. Also lots of effort on a car this low. A pit would make life much easier. I might be able to persuade that if I'm lucky! Also, picking up my new arch liner tomorrow and might have ago at a vinyl wrap of the bumper. Fingers crossed the black of the vinyl matches the car's faded black. Then I can finally start looking at the fitment of the manifold and rest of the exhaust, but this will require TIG welding so may be on hold until I find someone who can do that for me. So progress is slow, but is happening. Cheers, Ash EDIT: Also cleaned up the intercooler as it had been leaking apparently. I didn't realise quite how blue those pipes were! Can see them through the grill sections now its all fixed. Might get some pics later of the lights in the dark. I like them even if they are a bit Chav

Don't care what day. Just make sure you don't go and book all the places before I check the forum again! On the thought of bikes. Could we have a bike session in the day? I very much doubt anyone would enjoy the track on a bike properly. All reasonably low speed stuff. but if it cut the entry fee for each of us, i'd be happy for bikes to take over for an hour or two.

Oh I just re read that. Makes much more sense now. That's pretty awesome value! Nice one!

No, I haven't bothered with any damage photos. It could have been so much worse, I think I got quite lucky with it to be honest. Came off a round about ~50mph, then into the 60, spotted a deer on the other side of the road so slowed right down to 40ish then from my side of the road a deer bolted out of the bushes straight into the car, no time to brake even with Uber brakes, no time to swerve properly. Completely blind sided me. I'll get a pic up tomorrow just for you Luke! That golf does look nice, that's the kind of thing I'm thinking for Bisi. Comfortable, Epic MPG and not too slow. £2300 is a bargin price too mate, what is the mileage?

27.98s was his best time, but he was consistently sub 28.5s, passengers, no passengers, shit laps etc. Virtually everyone got their best laps in 3-4th lap of the day. Think the weather got a bit too humid after lunch. Beasted it to first place with 2nd being a mk2 golf hitting 28.06s and then complained all the way home that he didn't smash his PB. But that's Nick. Never happy without obvious improvement, however I think his consistency speak volumes. Anyways, my car work plan this holiday has completely changed after hitting a deer on the way to Nick's before Curborough. Headlight dead, bumper paint missing (No cracks found so far), fog light grill section smashed, Arch lining ripped out, and I found out today my tracking is quite wrong. The way I found this out was picking up my freshly powder coated rims and 235 Kumho tyres. Fitted and the LH side, where the deer hit, now scrubs over any bump on the arch due to the significant toe out (Ewww) and unfortunately all the roads near me are shite. So that is a lot of scrubbing. On the plus side, ill be fitting new lights, including wiring in the angel eyes hopefully, fitting new fog light grill, fitting new arch liner and vinyl wrapping the bumper as I was quoted £492.92 for a bumper respray I will also be bleeding brakes, changing oil level sensor, new air and oil filter and fresh oil. God I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow. Will be miserable otherwise.

Thats what I was looking at

Can people who haven't signed up yet go?

No one wants dollars. Watch some videos, get out with mates, maybe ride a competition. Or have a break and see how you feel later on. Keep the bike if you love it. if not, sell it and get something different if you want another in the future.

As I said on FB. HAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Looking good mate. Very shiny. Clearly the hard work is paying off! How did you kink the bonnet like that?
