Drag Racing @ Shakespeare: Sat 27/10/12

[tom172cup]

Me and you by the looks of things Dave.

 

[DaveDreads]

Yeah im running cant wait to dismantle my JC5 on the start line!

We can destroy them together.

Me and you by the looks of things Dave.

Great, anyone I stand a chance against?
I'd stand a better chance racing a Ferrari than yours. lol

 

[Thrust-Rated]

I may run. Who knows. Ill see how things go on the day. Don't worry Dave. You'll have plenty of fun without us on the strip anyway. Have you checked if you can bring the dog? I'm sure it would love going down the quarter mile. Head out window

 

[tom172cup]

No Dags allowed so it says on the website

 

[DaveDreads]

That's 40kg of extra weight i'll have you know,
the hefty b*stard can stay at home or he'll ruin my times. lol

Although I could put him in one of the lanes and race him against the Clios,
if someone's gearbox goes bang he'll have no problems beating them.

Lol. If your worried about weight I would Hoover that dog hair up if I was you

 

[DaveDreads]

I've been leaving the windows when driving open and letting it all blow out.

 

[tom172cup]

Is it that bad then?

 

[DaveDreads]

Not really, I scrape it all out every now and again, it'd be a disaster to all the detailing freaks
but as long as I can still see the carpet, it isn't that bad in my books.

 

[mharvey]

I'm definitely running too.

as for the dog it says dog friendly and no dogs. Hmmm

 

[DaveDreads]

Well i'm not holding out much hope of beating anyone any more,
my mani-cat gasket/clamp needs changing and probably the cat back gasket too.

The car's down on power because it's rattling and I need to order them from Renault,
they're cheap enough, but I don't know how much it'll cost to get them swapped.

So it looks like I might be running with a car that's had it's balls cut off. :dapprove:

 

[sbridgey]

I will be running too, will be interesting to see how it compares to all yours.

About 25 for the kit and you can do it on the driveway

 

[DaveDreads]

I know the kit's cheap but I don't have a decent jack, any stands or the first clue about how to change it.

I've basically got to figure out how remove the cat, prep the ends with sealant,
then figure out how to put it back on with the new gaskets and clamps.

I don't like attempting a job with no knowledge of what i'm doing.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Pop to Fred's. I'm sure he would sort that in no time for you. He sorted my exhaust out before

 

[sbridgey]

Freds in Australia.

 

[DaveDreads]

Not to mention the fact i'm probably the most skint i've been in years.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Whoops. I forgot. :-( isn't zoltan knocking about?

 

[sbridgey]

[Thrust-Rated]

He'll sort it

Anywhere nearby we can go if weather turns the day tits up?

 

[DaveDreads]

There are a few nice pubs in SUA that do food, there's just nowhere to park other than multistory's,
the one I use is £4 all day.

 

[sbridgey]

We could park down the rec and have a picnic.

 

[Laine_16v]

There are a few of the c16v lot meeting at McD's at Cribbs Causeway at 10am on Saturday morning to convoy up. So if your comeing from SW area, feel free to join.
