Merry Christmas

 

PMSL at having the bonnet open

You guys had better weather than we did, nice one

 

wasn't the smartest move ever

have another clip taken from a handheld camera that was in the wet, plenty of sideways moments, but real scary, gave up trying in the end as was gonna end in disaster !

glad u liked it

 

Like it did with me then

 

nice 1

 

oh dear Stu

did they charge you for that incident ?

 

no, I got out the car chucked the remains of the bumper in the back and fucked off as quick as possiable

 

you were lucky lol

was checking the Nurburgring webcam and it was snowing the other night !

wouldn't fancy a lap in the snow lol

 

what car/engine is it ?

 

2l 16v nova 150bhp

 

Very good lap! The car sounds like its running sweet too

 

Cheers all

Car was running sweet, I was ever so paranoid as I had only had to rebuild the engine a couple of days before we left, I was still running it in on the way over there!

not exactly the running in period I wanted from it tbh, as luck would have it I came home with milkshake as water so looks like the head went porous whilst I was there so its going to have to come apart again,

I still managed to do the 13 dead up the 1/4 with the porous head but since then have pulled the car to bits again, will get the head fixed then sell the engine on as its a really good engine and must be making the standard xe power you would expect

 

excellent


at the tow vid!!

 

thats what u do when you have been towing for over 7 hrs lol

 

Nice one Jonboy Lucky you noticed the bonnet!!!

 

I'm sure I would of noticed on the next section when approaching 140+ lol

could of been disastrous, I think when I pulled onto the track I remembered I didn't check it so i had my eye on it

see you at the next meet

 

 

looks like you had fun shame to hear about the car once ou where done but nice vid, you was overtaking some decent bits of kit there

 

cheers mate

tbh its only a porous head, not the end of the world, I kept emptying the oil out of the water system so I could keep the car on the road for last pods of the year was planning to rip it to bits after that so will only be a Ł100 fix and the engine can be sold or kept for when I need a spare engine urgently lol

 

What mods has this nova got, brakes, gearbox etc?

 

wickd vid and top bit of driving too

 

Basic car spec is

Standard xe
F18 gearbox with quaife LSD
Spax coilovers with alloy top mounts
Polybushed
stripped interior and polycarb windows
Reyland Brakes

 

Faster than anyone on here has managed in a sierra cosworth so far isnt it?
Certainly quicker than i got in Johns stage 3, we were both over 9 mins even in the dry!

And thats with you on a standard engine, so we must have been murdering you on the straights with more than double the power, so it shows how well that nova must go round corners!


Awesome stuff

 

Cheers Chip

and Merry Christmas mate

 

Merry christmas to you too mate

 

Good footage, Nice tidy lap, your car looks very well ballanced and is driven well

 

I was gonna say in the corners and out of them it seens it had a diff...

Did your brakes get any fade? I've the same on mine and rate them highley...

 

I cant make my brakes fade tim even if I try ! the rotors are over a year old now !

second set of pads though, was using the DS2500 at the ring which are excellent

great breaks from a great tuner

 

i recognise that hotel carpark we stayed at the same place

 

nice work JB, just watched the whole thing. think i may need to venture over there next year!

 

Graceland, did u ever get asked in the morning

"you want egg"

normal speech from Edgar every morning

 

I've never had fade from mine either! Didn't want to say incasae I hadn't ben driving my car hard enough! Even on the Redline day I did 6 0-100-0's in a row and they were as god the first time as the last Had some pads made, so can't tell you what compound they are, but they seem very good!

And I've replied on Mig re: Stack

Sorry I forgot!

 

every morning - 2 please my reply

 

Nice bloke, only got a bit upset when my mate was sick all over my room and didn't tell him

don't think his mrs was too impressed with picking noodles out of the carpet

 

that is so so WRONG

 

excellent lap mate..car goes well

 

 

Good lap, was it your first trip?

There's a few places were you could've got away with using the kerbs for a better line such as Hatzenbach and Wipperman

 

excellent vid and excellent lap

hope the weather is as forgiving this easter
