myles Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Oh s****, gutted for you mate, my WRX has been bumped in the front, Iain might have mentioned it. Link to comment

myles Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Mine was just a little prang, amazing how the front end folds up, but no kids in car, no-one hurt, so the best circumstances really. As for you, it must be a bloody nightmare, against a NA Supra as well, nightmare. What are your plans? Back to Nissan? Link to comment
gc8-r Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 ya will get this gone,then back to the nissans.. my mates got a 4 door r32 2.5t all kitted up. just need to get rid of this, at least that supra owner will be happy,bet he thinks his car is quick... trying to get hold of the engine builder,as he buys scoobs with engine problems,then fixes them and makes a few quid.. so thats one option,dont want to strip it as you always get left with bits you cant shift..!! bloke on snet is looking for a -r with engine probems so will be giving him a p'm.. just cant wait for m,jenkins to get back he has a good vid of me and ian on the 1/4...

Big 'D' Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Just got back from the Pod had a great time and set a new personal best of 12.23 in a huge head wind too which was the fastest run for an Impreza on Saturday, very happy with that, I did not bother running again today but I know now that there is easily a high 11 in the beast yet Cheers Iain Link to comment
Big 'D' Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Can I pass on a !!!!! MASSIVE THANK YOU !!!!!!! for those who turned up and made the weekend at Santa Pod as good a time as it was. Thanks again guys Cheers Iain Link to comment
gc8-r Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 it was a shame that the 11 did'nt come,but i'm sure we will see it arrive soon and will speak soon,already had two people ask about the car.... but will see what comes of it.. chris Link to comment

You have had guys ask about your car you say? Cheers Iain Link to comment
gc8-r Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 ya theres a couple asking,as they want one with blown engines.... and one is very interested,but got to say right amount.? if they dont like the price i'll keep it on the drive for a few months,then give it the bloke and get a new lump in it.... the cheaper it gets the more i take off..! we will see what they say.

MASSIVE THANK YOU !!!!!!! for those who turned up and made the weekend at Santa Pod as good a time as it was.Thanks again guys Cheers Iain I would like to second that.

Big 'D' Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 not so good, i thought you were going to win it.next year you will be in the 11s I would have had to done something spectacular to pull an 11.6 out of the bag mate so I did not see the point in running I know the car will pull an 11.9 or even an 11.8 but that will have to wait for another day I am getting closer every time though, but that mega head wind yesterday did not help at all.
