30 days will give me chance to she'd a few pounds so I can go up the strip quicker....spare wheel is coming out, back seats will be removed, and I will be wearing very light clothes lol would it be wrong to go up the strip in just my pants??
Don't forget, we all need helmets or they won't let us race.
big boost cup
and long sleeve t shirts
Yep no shorts or t-shirts,
seeing as it's as cold as winter I doubt any of us will be rocking up in beach wear.

Am just trying to sort some helmets lads will let you know. May have access to 4 or 5 that we can use and I thought if I get them everyone could make a small donation to charity to use them. Still sorting it at the moment though?

I told you the dog kennel will devastate all.......except Freds vee........and Toms turbo cup,
but other than that you're all screwed........as long as I can fix the exhaust leak we discovered today.
But yeah, you're all dead........maybe. :S
big boost cup
love your optimistic approach lol
Is this the first time on the 1/4 for a few people?
Well seeing as I piss all over 90 year olds in their Honda Jazz's,
I should be king of the universe on the strip. :evil:
Oh and LewDew sent me a pm and apparently we all need to bring the paper counterpart to our licence's,
Christ knows why, but rules are rules.

Yupp never been on a drag strip before. Im hoping i can push the dci to run 15's. Doubt it it will tho
I just hope I don't end up pushing the dog kennel across the line,
f*cking thing hates me at the minute.

Well as Fred said, the steering racks don't really go wrong on these and he was right,
DCIRaz and his mate Andy got it up on a lift, took the subframe off, unbolted the steering rack,
then realised there was sod all wrong with it.
However the tie rods and track rod ends that are less than a few months old were utterly f*cked,
to the point where they could have come apart on the next corner.
Because there was so much play they had knackered the ball joints that are less than a year old,
and my 8 month old tyres were absolutely shredded.
So if you're ever in Coventry and need a garage don't go anywhere near CPR (Citreon Peugeot Renault),
how they managed to f*ck up fitting tie rods and track rod ends i'll never know, but they could have killed me.
So the front end is now tighter than a French teachers girlfriend,
and the front arb is now polybushed.
But the exhaust is now blowing fml.

Lol now i understand why the steering rqcks never come up as a fault on here.
That inner tierod was on by the very first two threads, no joke. Andy undid it and it just fell off dodge b******s even put one poly tie rod bush on one side and a standard renault one on the other.
Megatrons arms helped allot
Hows the gears now dave?

Flol i know, iv told andy im not helping to paint another van, without being nasty to him.
So by the sound of it andys is telling smishy no, on the basis of a jag engine to rebuild, that shity v6 alta turbo to fix and the golf to finish.
Andy might be coming to the strip with me , in the tvr ( if he's aloud.. ? )
