Yes of course, why wouldnt you be? Its llegal on the road after all and trackdays like Si does are normally for road cars.

 

wot power you running rob,was going and sounding well

 

Cheers

if you want i can email them to you

 

Had a great day even though I broke the suspension on the Westfield after only 4 laps so didnt get any track action at all!

Still enjoyed it and IT WILL be fixed for Snetterton!

 

i was thinking about the risk of having a gas bottle in the car, mallory park told me to remove the gas bottle when i was there last year.

 

No different to having a plumbed in fire extinguisher though with a decent sized bottle?????

 

Well potentially its a heavier bottle and a lot more pressure than in a foam extinguisher like are common on cars, no different to a CO2 one though.

 

true i suppose.i will have to ring silverstone to see if i can use it at ford fair.

 

I had a really good laugh friday night with everyone and so did Steph. Allways good to catch up with people and meet some new faces. The show was a good aswell and love Bretts MK2 which was car of the show for me. Thanks for devon Group for letting Steph put her car on there stand, really good bunch of lads.

 

Can see my pics from the day here...

i picked up my poly windows, tony at ACW said, he will do you a better priceif you pick them up, but give them a ring

 

Was nice to see you yesterday Spiky and meet mini spiky, hes soo cute

 

When are you going to Snetterton Stu ?

Were there a week this wednesday


Great pics from everyone, GUTTED I didn't come down for it now

 

Just got back home, had a top weekend. Did the road trip up to Townley Park for the show there today. Glad the weather was a LOT better at Combe though, lol. I am definately going back next year.

p.s. Is the guy who was taking pics of the convoy from the bridge a user off here? If so what did the pics look like?

 

Had a great day even though i had to stop using the Escort because it started dropping out of 3rd gear (new dog rings needed) but all was not lost as the yellow peril was then used and didn't let me down. I will make it a priority to increase the boost before I use it next.

Sorry to all those that didn't get a passenger ride.

Thanks to all the Combe folk

 

Thats great news, I will ring them soon

If Id known you were there I would have taken you out for a passenger ride, I would be interested in your thoughts on the car as yours is similer.

 

I'll catch you when you are next on track somewhere

 

Great weekend had although the car was not running yet i brought it along.....
on the Fast Ford stand.




Good to meet some more faces from PF.

Camping Friday night was class but im sooooo tired from it still.
Thank goodness i bought the Gayzebo for Fri night although by the time i went back yesterday afternoon it was smashed to smitherins.

R.I.P -

made the night what it was being able to sit out of the rain and wind.
even though there was about 12 lads and Nash's poor girlfriend having to put up with our ladish ways...PMSL.

Next up is Ford Fair cant wait! Hopefully the wind and rain will stay well away.

Highlight of the show was that Green Mk2 drifting DEDICATED 110% into Camp corner. Amazing!!!!

 

Sorry to see the bendy bit Stu - the car looks better and better every time I see it. I remember first poking round it at Bedford a good couple of years back if not more.

So much carbon


I'm sure the people who did the work will get a roasting from you! Would have been great to see the car out but obviously not to be this time!

Are you booked on for National Day at all?

Si


Yeah good plan, don't want to get overtaken by a pair of Evos again do ya!

As said yesterday evening, damn that little car goes well! Sounds like next time things will be different as I can't afford to up the power due to all my money going on the petrol my car guzzles!

Wondered why the Escort was parked up, I had Cossie Helen with me and she was gutted to miss out on her laps with you, she had the yellow band on from the start of the day! She had to make do with a run in my Evo, which lets face it, isn't entirely the same

Si

 

Nice to Meet you Luke and your a Legend for bringing the Gazebo, cars very nice aswell look forward to seeing it running. Steph was fine mate, and she enjoyed herself which is allways good.

 

I did try my best to hold you both off but you guys having more power and 4 wheel drive didn't help The Rover originally had 1.5 bar boost when I built it but for some reason it has only had 1.2 bar for ages now, I will just put it back upto the original 1.5 and see how we get on

Were you on 048's or slicks? The Rover was on 888's, I was well pleased with them and even at the end of the day when it rained I was still able to press on quite well.

 

Mate the Gazebo was a godsend RIP also thats my missing chair in the bin next to it Was a good evening, also your car looks excellent.

 

Hi Martin,

I was on Yoko A048s. I'm not a huge fan of them - I really prefer my R888s.

My brother was using the R888s we had off you recently, although he has killed them in a couple of months as we have done track days every weekend for the last few weeks.

A048s seem to last ok, but take a little more heat to work well - my first laps out on them always result in odd rear end slides that as a 4x4 and FWD man are not to my taste!

Shame Combe don't allow slicks (unless you're special, an MSA log book holder, or Marco who runs them on the side of the car not facing the marshalls!)

I've often found R888s are still great even in mild rain - only standing water needs common sense. People that knock them (few and far between) really don't know what they're on about!

I'll need some more for my own car before the end of the year, shame funds don't allow right now hence running some old A048s for as long as they last...

What sort of power does 1.2 and 1.5 bar bring? My car at 319 bhp and 1478 kgs really struggles to get past any FWD car with 200 bhp and above

I have a carbon bonnet and boot at home, but I really need to do what Hayden did with his Evo when he brought it up to you - strip it, cage it, perspex windows etc, plus a tad more power.

Damn lack of Łs though

Si

 

PMSL Ahh I enjoyed being out in the Evo, i think i laughed all the way round While trying to stop everything falling out my pockets Just wish i had not wasted time in the charity rides que and come out in the morning with you !

 

Thanks for the plugs mate. They didn't cure my missfire unfortunatley. But worse than that as i was changing them the wind ripped the bonnet from its stay and smashed my windscreen and mangled my bonnet. Bad times lol

 

Hi mate not sure really was running approx 650 but had to put another box in exhaust system and gave it a remap for safety Cheers Rob

 

More power Si?

Is that a good idea

 

Looked a superb show this, just hope National Day & Ford Fair are as good, missed this one, was in Spain..

 

was a good day pete,but i bet the weather was better in spain

 

crackin day out! good pics mr flower! got my car in there 2!

 

It was mental heat fella, landed tonight @ 5.30 and yes, raining..

Short clip of Brett and Martin on track

Those fold up gazebos are fookin pants. Mine only lasted 2 days at croft.

 

still cant believe maria got out the porsche wearing high heals

 

Only of my mate Icky in the white mk2 and a few of the drifting mk2 escort, not uploaded the drifting ones yet though

 

SKyline was going very well Rob. Great driving. My Blue one loved it around there as well!

I had a great day at Combe. Kicked the hell out of both cars on track all day and they were both faultless.

only problem was a broken wheel stud and a fualty fuel sender! other than that. Both cars drove there, got death and drove home!

Well done Martoon. Great prep mate

 

Thought it was a very good day !

Jus a shame the Saph was 3/4 of a db over the limit & me not taking enought money wit me to put her on track !

Would of been a giggle lol

Was really impressed wit a few motas out there, the reyland boys obviously as the prep work on these cars are 2nd to none ! Maria in the porche ! Well done babez !

And especially the ABC Escort !

Think I owe Danny an apology as I honestly though it wasn't gonna be up to much when it got out on track, but how worng could I be ? The thing flew & sounded sweet !

Well done boys,

jb

P.s. A very VERY big thank you to jim for takin me out for quite a few laps ! He could see I was all sulky for not bein out there & offered the passenger seat for me !

Hope he didn't get too annoyed wit me shoutin sideways all the time, think he took the hint tho as when it started rainin the car was everywhere but straight & Jim really impressed me wit his car control ! Cheers matey !
