Wondered why Shane was waving his hand in front of his throat when he drove past, that explains it!

Good to see everyone again, and sorry to Nick who I didn't see once again! Will hopefully see you at the rolling road day next week.

Got a few photos which I will upload later, mostly of the morning sessions.

First Big Thank to Nic for sorting the club stand, and for takin gme for a quick trip to the petrol station in his Mini, brutal when his car gets on boost.

Good to meet everyone, apoligies to those who I did not speak/introduce myself too I was trying to track down another friend at the show so disapeared for a bit, then lost track of time and had to go.

I enjoyied my session out on track, and the video I have needs alittle editing but it has my spin in it.

Neil

Got A GTM With A Honda In the Back, and huge Nitrous bottle where the passenger seat should be when racing!

if you dont spin your not trying hard enough its my excuse and im sticking to it anyhow.
Was a good show as ever and already looking forward to next year

David.

I saw you when you arrived Neil, but you were passing down near race control so I didn't stop to say hello.

I got my free entry pass, but didn't manage to find the turbo minis stand all day long! I walked around the entire paddock, and aside from one or two turbo's dotted about that I didn't recognise, I didn't see anyone!

Had a really awesome day though, got black flagged in one session due to my breather leaking fuel, sorted it and did another 2 sessions.

Saw Jim going around too, car looked awesome!

Mr. Prawn, the friendly Crustacean- slowly making steps towards forced induction.

Woo! I made it home in one piece!

Feeling slightly odd from the fumes of my car though, ill write something tomorrow.....

well i didnt! Front drivers wheel shed three nuts! Thought i was getting mental torque steer! So towed home thanks to the AA! Great day today. Nice to meet the guys from the forum and thanks again to Nic for sorting a stand for us all and for the tickets. Shame i didnt take the car on the track, but looking back, im glad! lol

feature=mhum

Just got home, awesome day. I did distroy an outer cv, but 30 mins later another was fitted and we were back on the track. but apart from that car managed 5 sessions with out problems. I'll upload some videos later. Endaf was quite a bit quicker than me, but the gps clocked us both over 120mph over avonrise, felt really quick. Glad to meet a few more of you guys

Team Racing

Sound like everyone had a brilliant day, hopfully next year il be there .lol

Jim , ye vids sound good, dont forget.

rick

just a quick message to say massive thanks to jimbo for trusting me with your car today , fair play that thing is senfuckinsational !!! best 15 laps of coombe ever ,apart from when i couldnt find the go fast switch !! well done , u deserved it considering you had a garage full of engine parts on thursday morning !! oh and thanks to mrs jimbo for looking after the scrap section as we were obviously too busy !!! cheers

Well my day at coombe was good, I met up with longy matty and longy senior and did a bit of shopping. Then we went to the TM stand where we had a long chat with Nic and shane (which was more like inuendo bingo) I did not go out on the track today as I am keeping the MK1 good for next weekend. Anyway, off I set to come home and I was racing the satnav all the way home and I ran out of fuel 1/2 mile from home. Jo came to my rescue and when I got home I had a look under the bonnet and the alternater was sat at a funny angle.
You can see that the water pump blanking plate has broke / cracked. Oh well looks like I will be going to steel this week then.

Thanks nic and matty for all the turbo info every day is a school day.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Top Car jimster, first time I've been lapped at an action day.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Paul, every time i came to your pug, you werent there! You need an ecu cover on that bad boy though .

Good to meet you again Matt.

All the TM cars looked great out on track!!

Good to see you all agin!
Well we can safely say my run of bad luck is back with a vengance, failed head gasket between 3 & 4, alas that aside a great day was had, thanks to Nic for his hospitality fri nite, for organising the stand (aka tow car parking) and most iportantly letting me use my last track session as pasenger in his car.
Shane

Oh bad time oli i looked for your car but didnt see it, it doesnt need an ecu cover it needs a vtr inlet and throtel body and 1.4 injectors and ecu it does bloody well on track but needs a little more power, maybe a cheap vtr lump from the scrappy for fifty quid.

Didnt see you on track though

another set of cracking pics Nick

I had a pretty good day, though didn't get a chance yet again to say hi to many people due to spending most of the morning trying to get a clutch pedal that would last more then 2 laps. needed a tow after the 10:30 session as I lost clutch completely.

Got it sorted for the 1:45 session and went a bit mad, so absolutely gave the engine everything and and nearly ended up on the grass every time out of quarry and most other corners. My passenger was terrified for the first few laps!
