Default bedford trackday 20th Feb

Who's going?!

I'm gonna have to sell my place as my skyline needs a clutch and I haven't got the time to do it

Its over a fortnight away.

My nova has a cracked block, and im still hoping to take it, how can you let a clutch stop you, thats only an afternoon job?

Didnt you do this last year, buy a place then sell it a couple of weeks before?

LOL you might be right chipper....

The problem is I dont know what clutch the skyline has in it, its a twin plate of some sort... so its not an afternoon job as I can't get the parts in advance.

Perhaps I should just turn the boost down LOL
