As the title says really I\'m on the m4 between Reading jtn 10 and 9. The rad caps popes off.

Just hoping someone will see this and be in the area with a spare one?

Can only hope!!

After staying up the other night and watching the whole race (apart from first 2hrs) I wanted to try and find some videos of the wankels in the race...

In the end the R8 won and now has equaled the record for back to back wins by the FD in 90\'s

I have the rear discs if you\'re interested? - never used from Mazda Japan (I used the fronts)

#1 Kazama FD (As I have on mine minus the rear and front arches)


#2 Panspeed FD


#3 Revolution carbon FD

They did this a few years back too - they\'d released them by March.

You can work out from this list though of dates that it won\'t be touristenfahrten days

There is a good chance that the days around the VLN will have tou\' days - but will be closed the days they are running the race. I\'ve been to a few and so have mates and we\'ve always had track time... plus you get to see some very quick cars giving it some for 6hrs

I\'ve owned the car for the past 4 years so it def was me
This was a small meet in Bugibba. I was there for 45 minutes tops and had to leave as the local 1/4mile strip was hosting a rwyb. Next time you\'re over give me a shout.

My parents have a place over there in Bugibba... I was there scuba diving in October and will be back June - will give you a message just before... Are you on FDUK too as i don\'t have PM on here?

All the cool busses have now stopped due to the EU ruling... they have a few now only doing special tours

I\'m Sure I saw this car when I was in Malta a few months back... I was there a week and saw 3 FD\'s (silver, Red and Black) nothing OTT. Heard them all before seeing them.
I saw the top pic and thought i recognised the area and the pic with the RX8 confirmed it... I was staying just around the corner.

Katayama gets back on track : 2011 Okayama


Winner of the LeMans 24h in the IMSA class 1990.

and taken from Wiki:
 "...Mazda\'s factory driver until he retired at the end of 1990. He finished second in the 1983 James Hardie 1000, held at Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia co-driving with four time winner Allan Moffat in a factory supported Mazda RX-7. His previous visits to the race were in 1977 when he spectacularly rolled his Mazda RX-3 at Murray\'s Corner on lap 103 and 1982 where he finished in 6th place again partnering Moffat."

good \'ol Lost!

Yep I had this the other day but cleared up after running for 10 or so mins and settled down once it had heated up - it had been sat unstarted for about 2mths before this...

... but I know my turbo seals are going :S and get this most times its been sat for over a few weeks

does it clear up eventually once up to temp? does it start as soon as the cold car is started or after a few mins?

ahh over read the part [using another keyboard to type this]! it won\'t be anything else other than the keyboard then

Some malware or the like can change the settings of this (used to do it years ago to mess with friends or other students in the IT suite) it could be something picked up from the net if its only just happened with you doing nothing (as in changing settings, installing new keyboard etc..)
