Default WHAT YOU BUY AT NATIONAL DAY...... I BOUGHT THIS LITTLE LOT

There I was yesterday, trying to decide if I should go to National Day or not (Long Drive from Portsmouth) as I didn't know if the cossie would be finished in time, so I never arranged any tickets and didn't want to leave it in the public car park. So with Lamb Chops wanting a lift, and my buddy Mark wanting to go and look at a mint Sapphire 4 x 4 for sale, we decided it was worth the trip.

Lamb Chops had a great day, my buddy mark saw the 4 x 4 Sapphire and has made arrangements to buy it this week, and I ended up spending nearly a grand on this little lot to keep my new NMS Engine in check............





Complete set of Pro-Alloy Intercooler, Turbo Pre Cooler, Radiator, and Fan Set........... Hope Karl will approve ??????

Great Day..... The best yet.

Big thanks to everyone who did the hard work of putting on the show, and keeping us happpy. Great show by everyone on track, and comiserations to anyone who got their car damanged putting on a good show for all of us who were there.

Lloyd's Escort Cossie looked and ran superb all day. Dingy's looked great, but not sure why he didn't come out later ????

Went in the BMW as I didn't want to leave the cossie in the public car park.

But it's running perfect.

Looking forward to getting this little lot on it over the week.

Jim, A few small option parts, but i'll leave it as close to standard as i can. The 4-Speed box may have to go though.

Thanks for the lift Jim was appreciated Had a great day and wasn’t going to bother, so glad I did and I managed to resist Scotty’s AP kits (just)

Paul, so do you have any other AP's kits for sale now? Thought you had one already

Jim, I knew you wouldn’t be able resist opening that lot last night

I didnt buy anything but that could be down to the fact that i brought the full pro alloy set up only a couple of months ago so im still paying it back now!!

Top day

I got offered a nice set of AP's 330mm brand new in the box for Ł425 but they were for the rears, also came with the bias valve. So the rear might be for sale soon to buy them.

There was loads of AP stuff for sale, JC had some good deals on his brakes.

I bought a custom rad and intercooler set-up from Scott R off the board (had beige colour RS1600i going round the track). Top lad.

I'll stick a pic up this weekend when I'm next at home (sat at work in dinner hour scouring the pics from the day).
