Already posted in meets area, but here too for a little more exposure:-
I know I mentioned it before, but here is a nice new thread for it.
Firstly, I am competing even if my suspension is knackered so you all need to come along to support me whilst im outnumbered by 200SX\'s! If I suck (and thats likely) you can also then take the piss out of me here
Secondly, I need to know who wants to put their car in the MRC display. If your coming along you may as well as its gets you cheaper entry (1/2 price) and you might win a prize in one of the 4 categories. If not, it will still look nice to have a good display of our cars out there with a couple of the other clubs. Im sure we can put them to shame
For those who have never been, its a good day and there are also other reffles and things that go on.
So come along
I need to know names and adresses of people for the stand display thing, so that I can post you out the discount vouchers OPT are sending me.
I will list going of whose going to put their car on display.
Cheers
Lee
So out of interest then, why does no-one seem to want to come :confused:
Cheers
Lee
Where is it ? Silverstone ?
I can\'t make it :( ... working all hours on the rally car getting it sorted now I have a roll cage
Mike
Lee everyone\'s scared yer guna drift like an Arab (not a racist term but i recall seeing a vid a while back with some Arabs doing sum mad drifts down the road which looked skillfull as such but i just found this vid of the outtakes:

Anyway that aside i\'ll be there 1 way or other.....
Si
I\'ve gotta work that weekened :(
I reckon I might be able to make it. How much will it cost me?
It\'s at Silverstone right?
*Should* be ok depending upon cost and also my car is going back into the bodyshop next week to have the paint problems on the nose rectified, I\'ll give them a call today and check how long the work is going to take.
I\'m gonna go if my car is ready anyway... I had some suspension that didn\'t quite work out then somebody hmmm.... who could that be :rolleyes: beat me to some HKS coilovers!! ;)
So I\'m still not sure yet. Still waiting on my rims from Shin too - I was kinda hoping to be ready for the meet on Tuesday but that\'s looking unlikely too!!
I\'ll let you know ASAP when I\'m sure what\'s going on! :confused:
Yeah its at Silverstone.
The cost is only £5 with the discount from putting the car on display, but I need a few more people as im a bit embarrassed about no-one seeming to want to come!
I said I thought I could get 10 which didnt seem a difficult task :rolleyes:
If you guys can make it that will boost the numbers a lot :)
Ben - I need coilovers and dont feel guilty at all! Scooby Si has some Tanabes and Fish has some Teins though, depends what you want...
:( booo!!! You cruel guy!!:p
;) alrighty I guess I\'ll give them a shout to see what they got!
Well Lee since it\'s you and you\'ve made me feel sorry for you. :rolleyes: I\'ll come along and support you (providing my car\'s not still in the bodyshop!!!)
Everyone who has said they will come are all dependant on bodyshops lol.
Yours, Si\'s (that bumper fitting yet?), Bens, and then Andy who sounds like he wants it in a bodyshop...
Strange!
Quite fancy seeing you doing a few accidental donuts. Unfotunately I\'m saving for Autosalon and Aus next year and consequently I\'m holidaying in sunny (aka rainy) Cornwall this year on that weekend :(
Im going to dry and do it all in 3rd as changing down to 2nd causes me grief. Its going to be more than an accidental donut if it goes wrong :rollin
Ill spin loads I expect, just hope to keep it out the gravel as that stuff is nasty!
Sounds like bumpers fitting a lot better so looks promising, i\'m off to see it later so should know better then.....But i\'m optimistic (as i have been every weekend for the last 3 months ;) lol)
Si
PS u got a video camera, can lend you a nice suction device thing if u wana get sum good in car footage?
No I dont have a video camera. Silverstone are strict on what they allow in the cars anyway and I dont think suction mounts are good enough.
Lee, Ill come along. Am going to Froggy land in the week, but Ill be back for next Sunday.
Ian
PM\'d

ya me details m8y,
Not 100% on having car but still looks promising so watch this space..........
Si (twiddles thumbs

)
Ian it\'s on Saturday BTW (http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/cwm/cwm/uhoh3.gif)
AH! In that case its a little uncertain as to weather Ill make it, dont get back to Pompey dockyard untill saturday morning!
Lee, thinking about it, can you leave something on the gate? If ya can Ill see if I can make it up and give ya a cheer. Dont want you to go to the trouble of sending stuff to me though just in case I cant make it!
Ian
Yeah should be able to, or ill give it to someone else or something to look after!
Cool and the gang. Hopefully Ill see ya there. Might even pick up another trophy!! :cool
Ian
I\'ll be down Lee, with or without me car!
So I can always stick the single turbo Hyundai S Coupe on the stand Lol! :rollin
I\'ll PM you my address.
Nice one, just read your PM.
You need your car though, preferably on Tuesday too because theres bits I want to look at.
Dont think Ill have mine tuesday night as the suspension is still waiting to go on this week. It will be done though.
Took 3.5 hours fri night to get to Bournemouth and pick it up, but <1.5 to get home.
A272 is awesome, I feel an early morning driving meet coming on :3gears-lh
What bits would they be?
I\'ve be told I\'ll get it back on Tuesday, so I should be able to drive it from the garage right up to Dartford. (And pigs might fly)!
Well if I don\'t have it I guess I\'ll see you up there.
How come you didn\'t get it posted? I was offering to pick them up until I saw how far I had to drive!!

I cant tell you what I want to look at in public :p
As for posting, that wasnt going to work. I needed to be able to get it in time to have it on for Silverstone Saturday and I cant trust delivery companies with that :(
Coilovers are very heavy too.
Hmmm.... I am intrigued!!
Guess I\'ll have to turn up and see what ya mean!:D
That makes sense about delivery! I\'ve had stuff that\'s taken an additional week because the company can\'t specify a time for drop offs!!

So what time do we have to be there??
Whenver you want I think, but if you turn up late then your going to miss the judging for the cars on show.
Ill have to be there mega early for briefings and stuff :(
Damn, I still won\'t have my new rims until after Billing now!! I ordered them 11 May!
Shame because it\'ll look a bit odd with a full bodykit on standard 16s
Anyone got some 18s I can borrow? (okay I know it\'s a long shot!)!
ok, but roughly what time is ideal??
Say 10am??

Lee - sorry if i\'ve missed this in the thread but, if I come to show and support you do I need a ticket in advance etc? If so are you going to the Dartford meet tomorrow night?
Yeah I will be at Dartford tomorrow, in the Nissan. Hopefully Ill have the stand tickets by then.
If not, then ill have to sort something out to get them to you guys on the day.
Lee
Righty I have the show/discount passes.
Ill pop them out in the post at lunch time although the dartford people have them already.
As its for a display Option asked if people could arrive between 9 and 10 so people can look at the cars while practice is on. Well 10 doesnt seem too bad to me lol.
Have a few people down now with some nice cars so its looking good.
Si, will post you some spares incase anyone else happens to turn up. Not much point in me keeping hold of them as I wont be contactable really.
Lee
OK cool although as i say there\'s a chance i wont be there till later AM if my car is guna be collectable on the Sat at sum point......;) Otherwise i\'ll be free & easy :eek:
Si
Yeah I still have some spare ones but ill probably be unobtainable untill lunch as if all goes to plan I wont want to miss track time.
Suspension going on Friday morning - cutting this fine lol
Lee,
i\'ll be there from like 930am onwards if you want me to give a few out to those who aint got any once there, can do mate?
Already put your in the post mate, and only included the one. Put the spares in with Si\'s envelope.
At the moment though everyone who said they are coming apart from Andy P whos address I need should have a ticket.
The only exception is Ian (IIayama) who isnt in the country.
Im sure it will all be cool though, and Im glad that a nice selection of FD\'s are coming along to give the SXOC something to think about ;)
Gurj maybe an idea to PM me yer addy & if they\'re in tomorrow AM\'s post i\'ll send a couple of the spares to u in tomorrows post only it\'s looking like it\'ll be a Sat collection for my car at best. If not then i\'ll be there early in mondeo but as i say still a bit up in air ATM

as i\'m sure Lee can empathise with......lol
Si

Si
remind me do folks need the tickets at the gates to get in half price or when they get to the display area wherever we have? Only i dont wana just wait on the gate on the offchance sum other without 1/2 price tickets turn up......:confused:
Ta
Si
Nah you dont pay untill you get to the grandstand, so someone can turn up, then give you a call and you can just pop out of the grandstand to give them the pass.
Only people who might need one that im aware of though are Andy P and Ian if they are still able to make it.
Lee
Si,
Watford gap 9am????
OK cool & i\'ll have you know i am going for best US car of the show.....

lol
Gurl i\'ll post later not entirely sure yet as i may yet need to go to the bodyshop tomorrow AM to ensure the (spare) bumpers get packed & sent as they should already of been so wana ensure they go!!!!!
Car however is looking more as it should be & only really, read lots of small finishing touches which i aint that fussed about if it get a bit tight for JAE, needs a few bits priming, then painting & polishing & & & & & &

Si

Si
I\'ll post up some pics once I get the film developed. good day.
Two memorable moments of the day for me were:
Scooby Si: (to a confused Marc C) "So what\'s the story behind the Banzai gang then?"
Marc C: "Er?"
Scooby Si: "Yeah - there must be some amusing story behind it..."
Ric + Gurj: "Si - he\'s Marc C... not the Banzai gang"
and secondly:
Judge: (to Gurj) "So what modifications have you done to the car?"
Gurj: "... it\'s got a T78 turbo"
Judge: "Mmmm. so what else has been modified."
Gurj: "Er... everything?"
My memory is fine i\'ll have u know & i wont have.......sorry what was question again?

lol
Si
it was the eating thing with no beer present i was dazed & confused (http://www.computerpannen.com/cwm/contrib/blackeye/lol.gif) pmsl
Si (i think that\'s my name?)
I thought the jugde would be pleased with the fact its got a t78 turbo, by running that you\'d think he\'d twig that everything else is done too!!!!
Peace dude, trying to get the unit on today (double din) struggling at mo though, does the circular plug thing at the back need to be plugged into something???
Gurj
lol think he was after a bit of detail mate:
does it havean uprated intercooler:
yep
does it have an uprated rad:
yep

lol yer such a yes man :rollin
Si

Gurj
Nope - I don\'t think so it\'s probably for an optional changer unit. The plugs *should* fit straight on unless someone has changed your connectors for something non-standard.
What\'s connected to the stereo you\'ve got in at the moment?
Theres a few different cables running the single din at the mo, gonna take it to car electronics place to put in for me, might require new connections to make it work.
I\'m no great electrical dude:confused:
I assume you\'ve tried pulling the whole thing out and checking that it\'s not connected to some blocks (they might be stuffed away down the back somewhere)
Otherwise it sounds like whoever wired your stereo up has cut the Mazda OEM wiring blocks off and wired everything in by hand :rolleyes:
It\'s a pain in the arse when someone does that!!
Yea, pulled everything out yesterday to see what we can see and we can\'t see much??
But yea i\'ll let the experts show me instead, prob could do with newer wiring TBH, just to tidy up the back end :)
(Si sits in corner sniggering & trys to resist commenting on Gurj\'s messy rear end (http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/lachen/laughing-smiley-013.gif))
