Made up for you Shaun that the FD is alive again :Thumbsup!

Casey · October 10, 2010, 12:25:21 AM

It lives! Great news Shaun; I hope the running-in is uneventful!

BTW, NickD has reserved 20 places for us until 17th October, then they go on general sale.

So, ANYONE thinking of coming along, don\'t leave it too late to book, or all the places may be GONE!!

So can you complete the last couple of miles running in around the track lol.
Are you expecting any extra HP from this work ?

Cheers guys. Looking at coming to do it in 3 stints of m6 to brum, up the m1 the down the m62. Going to partially premix as well because I forgot to tell pip about removing the omp so it\'s gone back on.

Got one fault to fix today. Got a plug to find to turn the low water alarm off between the 2 engine looms. Stock the undertray on and put back on the floor. Been a mad few days really. Taken about 16 hrs to go from engine core to back into the car !

Car needs tuning before the day

the porting is to try and get better spool up out of the corners like neils FC. May have to get a bigger turbo later on though :Giggle

That\'s what I like to hear, already thinking of the next mod before you\'ve got this one sorted :mmmm!

ACCOMMODATION for Oulton

OK, I have found two small pub/hotels with 7 or 8 rooms, near the circuit in the village of Tarporley. The two places are;

The Foresters

and

The Crown Hotel

Prices per single room are ~Â£40 per night, doubles ~Â£55, with full English inc. There are twin rooms available for anyone who wants to share on a budget, Â£55 per room at the Crown, with breakfast inc.

From the research I\'ve done (Trip Advisor, etc) I slightly favour the Crown, but the two places are located very close to one another, so joining up for a meal on foot isn\'t a problem. Both places have off-road car parking that looks adequate. The Crown carpark looks slightly more hidden from the road for security.

If no-one has any other suggestions/comments, I\'ll book into the Crown this week. They currently have all 7 rooms vacant for 16th and 17th November.

If we go ahead with either of these I suggest, unless anyone can find a discount via a booking website, that we all book direct with these via the phone. I found email contact with both places not that reliable!

Anyone have any thoughts, or shall we go with the Crown?

The crown sounds good to me

shaunwil · October 11, 2010, 07:14:17 PM

I\'ll be travelling from home

No, your\'e OK, there is an MLR day at Oulton that day!

Why with MLR, in amongst all those non-rotary Evos :spank;)

marcusd666 · October 12, 2010, 03:41:59 PM

I\'ll be popping up on the day to watch you all blast round

It will be like a mini meet.

booked oulton but the car broke down, moved it to silverstone and the water seals went on the way 5 miles from the track. Darin the bloke who runs it has been kind enough to move my dates for me twice. Its cool to be the only rotary. I got soo much attention at Anglesey (my only track day to date) Im making sure i have my AI on my boost acceptable and my timing conservative.

WE DONT WANT TO BE GIVING ROTARYS A BAD REP FOR RELIABILITY. BTW

I EQUALLED SOME VERY EXPENSIVE CARS AT ANGLESEY ON STOCK PORTS AT .9 BAR OF BOOST. 370 ISH HP?

I NOW HAVE A LARGE STREET PORT, AI AND A NEW TURBO AS WELL AS BEING 30KG LIGHTER SO CANT WAIT FOR THE 19TH.:driving

It\'s good they\'ve allowed you to shift dates twice. Have a great time at Anglesey, maybe hope to see you at one of next year\'s trackdays so you can compare your RX-7 with the other 7\'s and 8\'s on track. On a dry circuit the 8\'s (with only 228bhp) will be left for dead on any straights, but on a wet, tight circuit (like Brands Indy) it\'s much more even!
