Steve-A Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Just as a bit of a taste, these are a couple of bad camera phone pics from one of the roads that goes round here. They don't do it justice, but either way its a flimsy excuse to bump the thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OD404 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Very nice Steve, looking forward to this! Hopefully my car will be ready by then, been ordering parts this weekend for the service.One question though, how bumpy are the roads? I might have to raise the front slightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-A Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Bumpiness depends purely on where we go.If people want to drive fast flowing A roads, or tighter windy A roads for that matter, they are reasonably smooth. But there are lots of awesome B/unclassified roads that are definitely on the bumpy side. They are great fun, but I dunno how many we will drive as they might be a bit slow/narrow for some of your guys cars. Lots of corners where 20mph feels quick and always the risk of tractors/sheep/etc. So yeh I'd add a few mm of ride height(Y) I hope my clutch lasts. I've been running 12psi and heading on for 200hp for a week and its ruined my clutch, so I'm back down to 7psi and about 150mph, its holding at the moment.

OD404 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Think i will raise the front, seeing as I scraped the front lip on the A43 (dual carriageway) going to Silverstone yesterday...Twisty roads don't bother me anymore, the new coilovers have given the front end a tremendous amount of grip, it's just catching the bodywork that's the issue right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Haha Jarrod, i was hopefully until i got even more bad news about the car.I was more talking about the route, to see if i'd either come along to portsmouth, or meet you along the way if you are crossing a shorter route of mine.

nc7r Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Can someone summarise? I don't want to read 7 pages Where and when.Are bikes allowed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Where and when are in the title I think bikes are a no because then it will turn into a TF ride where people with cool cars turn up, instead of a TF car meet. Also, its a pub, there won't be much riding there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
