Big Will_

Right!

I've done a bit of juggling about and put a proposal to my uni lecturers and... subject to their green light... i'm in

I'll be bringing my girlfriend Marie hopefully and we'll either be in the loony spec Focus or if there are any problems, my trusty 200bhp diesel golf

I'll be travelling with the southern crowd too as i'll need to pick Marie up from Birmingham on my way south!

I am booked on friday night (21st may) hull to rotterdam ferry so will be there around dinner time saturday. Will be nice to put faces to names although i have met a couple of people on list. I have an escos but waitng for new gearbox so will probably be in blue evo X. Hope to see you there.

MarK4

if i can get a passenger to help with costs i may be up for this, problem is my gearbox ratio's are stupid 70mph is around 4k! It will be a noisy journey lol.

are there sound restrictions at the ring?

Si B

iTrader: (59)

Where are you staying? Evo X isn't a bad alternative to an Escos. Is it yours?

Nasty

Chuck some 20" wheels on there or something to get the gearing back into normal territory!

It's a great trip if you're a petrol head

cossytel

Staying at Auderath, about ten minutes away towards Cochem, Hotel Wilhelmshohe.

Ginge !

id like to say i feel for you but in now running 3.9 diffs with my super tall 5th gear,,,,,, and worked out that 7500rpm in 5th is 189mph,,,, ok car wont get there but i should be in closes loop at 100mph !!!!

MarK4

Is that the uk 5th gear ratio? pmsl@closed loop at 100mph i can only dream of that.

20" wheels would look at home at maxpower live but not at the ring lol.

Ginge !

oh crap,,,,, that means 2 cars are gonna brake down on the way holding up our convoy again, thought everyone learned from this stupidity

good thing that we are going witha MOT tester and a full set of tools to help bodge the rust buckets together,, ill bring a few business cards too so they can get a discount on any parts they WILL need

rstubby15

Still coming Si.........just having second thoughts about bringing the turbo after a spot of drama with the damn thing. Would love to take it but I have my fears!!!! LOL

Ginge !

yeah that is a uk 5th gear too ive just noticed,,,,,, ive taken it out of a V3 gearbox too as thats what my car is but ive got the 4.44 diffs,,,, now i got 3.9 front AND rear with DCCD too

lets see if i get better than 200 miles to a tank,,, OFF BOOST !!! and 120 if i give it beans,, dam car

Ginge !

Sounds cool, how much is a day like that?

jr

The various elements of the Shonkyopel.de members are out at the ring at the same time (21st to 28th), unfortunatley doesnt seem to be an equal amount of shonky fords to battle against

from memory we "should" be there in

Nova 1800 ITB's
Astra Nurburgendy 1800
Astra GSI Turbo
Manta V6 ITB's
Nova 2000 XE ITB's
Astra VXR Nurburgring Edition
Astra VXR
Corsa 1800
Corsa 1800

and...
Golf mk4
Puma
MR2

dont think we can compete on ŁŁŁ spent either gong on the PF list, but then that wouldnt be the vauxhall way

jr

Judging by dates looks like porkie is on northloops destination nurburgring day, so retail was around Ł475

Harris.

I would still like to go to this as my car will be done at the end of the month, whats it going to cost all in ?

the rainge
