  1. Hire trackday tyres - Really?! If that is the case, careful to avoid slicks unless you want oil or fuel starve. Unless of course your already running a baffled sump and swirl pot setup...
  2. I always preferred knockhill in the rain. Less grip - more fun - less tyre damage. I'm no pro, done a couple of SIDC days and a couple of trackscotland days there. It doesn't matter if you are the fastest or the slowest, what matters is the fun you have out there. You'll probably find the first couple of laps a bit daunting and there are rules on overtaking (not in corners, nor under braking and only in the three straights) as Chris says, be aware if those around you and if someone's caught you up, you just indicate right, pull over to the right (lifting off is optional ) I'd say definitely get down to the trackdays that are organised here, go speak to as many folk as possible and get pax laps in different cars as well as going out yourself. At most days there is an instructor who will be happy to go out with you and give you pointers on lines, braking and your technique.
  3. What a lovely old relic! The castle is nice too...
  4. lol Aye, inlet manifold off is the most common method.
  5. No experience of any as mine came with a samco inlet hose already. Have you tried breakers for another standard one? Matty Baker is bound to have one and i'd guess that it'd be a heap cheaper than any of the above. Fitting an inlet hose is a real PITA!
  6. ^^^what he said. You should be inspecting the freedom of movement in the caliper pistons.
  7. Best to have it setup Alun. AFAIK, it's approx 3bar static idle. After that I don't know. What's your fuel pump situation?
  8. The one I have is worn through, sorry it took so long to get back.
  9. Feck! I forgot! Will have alook when im home the night.
  10. I may have one here in the garage. Will have a looky before going to work.
  11. Good work lads and a good turnout for up this way. Well done for organising and promoting the club!
  12. My old boss has one o them koenigseggs. I hate him but love the car.
  13. The Sagaris is an epic car to be in, Brian and I did the lap of Scotland in one when rio prestige were still on the go, 1100 miles in 3 days was amazing!
  14. Road Car: Eagle Speedster or Ferrari F40 Offload Car: Bowler Bobcat Race/Rally Car: L555 BAT
  15. Oil grade and suitability is what I would be changing before introducing an oil cooler along with its potential failure and subsequential fire risks...
  16. No idea on make Chris but its just a magnet on a threaded plug, even the cheapo egay crap if there is, would do.
  17. I have one, they're fcking strong! It won't stop your engine failing but if oil is changed regularly the chances if spotting it early are increased somewhat.
  18. Tell the wife it's a static show
  19. A whole new low for the forum...
  20. Your car doesn't have to be 'setup' for a track day... I ran my bog standard 2000 reg Fiat Punto 1.2 with (originally) 60hp and vredestein snowtrac tyres at a local club day at ingliston and I wasn't the slowest!
  21. Jesus Christ Pablo, I don't read books!
  22. Without doubt, I'll never forget seeing this on telly...
  23. The one where I said I didn't know you were gay when you started discussing motor biking in Banchory chippy? Don't remember... Think we went that way on the way back from my first fling? I was in the green classic.
