Fee Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 << Lol, I was gonna ask the very same thing. I,m looking for days that I can use my 205 at Daz >> ooooo...I'll race ya! (when mine eventually gets finished!)
Adam Kindness Posted August 8, 2005 Author Posted August 8, 2005 I'll use it at hot hatch days (maybe)... SIDC days, any circuit track days hillclimbs and sprint track.... 1/4mile... anything really
st3ph3n Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 230 horses at the front wheels in such a light car must be quite a laugh. Will it be making an appearance at KH in september?
Adam Kindness Posted August 8, 2005 Author Posted August 8, 2005 its not upto 230 yet needs more mapping once i get a decent exhaust manifold on.... power is just dying at 6500rpm
Big Daz Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 [ ooooo...I'll race ya! (when mine eventually gets finished!) >> Fee, Deal Still working on ours too atm used it once at Knockhill so far. Need to find more places to race Daz
st3ph3n Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 Scotland in general needs more places to race. Knockhill is a great place, but its not world class, nor could it ever be. We have great natural terrain for building spectacular race tracks. Natural Amphitheatres are all around in the many valleys, many not far from major road networks capable of handling large crowds. 50 or 60 thousand getting in and out of Parkhead or Govan on match day proves that. We've produced enough racing super-stars in every discipline to warrant better facilities. Sorry. Rant over.
teknopete Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 good 2 see u back Adam. BTW the corsets lookin as cute as ever m8 Catch up with u soon buddy. Pete

Big Daz Posted August 10, 2005 Posted August 10, 2005 Yep, Get working on the GTI Everything takes much longer to do than you think. What plans you got for it? Daz
