Oi, you've nicked my quote! LOL!

We need a couple of posts in the owned section tomorrow I reckon. Tim should have video evidence too.

We came.... We saw.... We owned....

This was on the autobahn btw, not the Nurburgring! It really is an awesome track though, the crests and dips are amazing. If you ever get a chance to go, do so, it was fantastic. So many serious cars there too. We must have seen 10 Porsche GT3s alone.

I guess 11 hours total, minus at least 4 or 5 hours we were eating/on the ferry/buying booze/etc. I reckon I would have had 185 with a bit more room, and that's with no front undertray at the moment, so aerodynamics could be better.

Is that the SPA digital one? I've got a dual oil pressure/temp gauge from them and it's brilliant, and cheap too.

Top stuff WSB, well done mate. You can tell us all about it on Monday...

Another award, best parking goes to this bloke. (Plus CJ for his ferry parking of course... )

Top stuff indeed. I'll post my piccies tomorrow too, right now I'm chilling out after a 540mile drive today, drinking one of my hypermarket beers . I got the hi score too, that's 286KPH, which I make 177.7 MPH :flame Dev ...

LOL at you lot! See you tomorrow. I mean later. Blimey, really shouldn't post on here after coming in from the pub...

Here's one of our little encampment last year, showing our beer cooling paddling pool, full of beer and unfortunately two of the guys who decided they were too hot. Let's just say we made sure we rinsed the bottles before drinking them after this... http://www.daleynet.co.uk/LeMans/2003/Images/LeMans2003_1008.jpg

Not long now, better start getting my beer cooling technology sorted. I'll be in Houx with a load of TVRs with Pistonheads stickers on. Hey, that's an idea, maybe we should sort out some big mkivsupra.net stickers for events like the Nurbugring trip and Le Mans, you'd get loads of people having a look. Something like these Pistonheads ones:- http://www.daleynet.co.uk/LeMans/2003/Images/LeMans2003_2011.jpg

Just draw it out from the cashpoint over there as needed, or use your credit card. Much easier and cheaper than taking cash with you. Plus its a good excuse for not getting a round in...

It's not your clutch slipping rather than the wheels spinning is it? That's exactly where you would expect to notice it if so...

As I understand it, there was a RZ TT auto before the facelift but not afterwards.

I think the engine has to be running or cranking for the ECU to run the fuel pump, to stop it pumping fuel all over you if you have an accident.

In theory you are supposed to carry a fire extinguisher in Belgium, and a medical kit and warning triangle in France and Germany. Halfords do a kit that has a GB sticker and this stuff, but to be honest I wouldn't worry too much, I very much doubt that anyone would notice. The one thing you must do is make sure you have nothing that could be mistaken for a speed camera detector. They are very strict on this in France, and if they suspect you have one they will apparently rip your car to bits in order to confiscate it, even if it's a GPS jobby that doesn't work in Europe anyway. Tim - not much point bothering with travel insurance I would have thought. Fill in an E111 and that takes care of medical care in Europe, and your car insurance probably covers everything else.

I think this is a great idea btw. Just want to distance myself from all those common facelift RZ-Ss with my quality RZ

There's an easy way of telling the RZ from the RZ-S, just look at the model number on the plate under the bonnet (the one that goes E-JZA80-?????). The second to last letter is the model:- Q - RZ S - SZR V - SZ or RZ-S Z - GZ Would be interesting to separate them I think.

#2, check your power steering fluid level, sounds like low fluid or an air lock. If there's enough fluid in there, try taking the cap off and turning the wheel from lock to lock slowly for a bit, that should bleed off any air in there.

Should be up for this. Mind you, last time I drove round Castle Combe I had a slight argument with the tyres at Quarry... Paul E paul_y3k Gatso Dude CJ Millhouse Bigmoistyturbo bigmoisty turbo's mate in a gti-r SimonB

Thought I'd better bump this back to the top since it has sunk into the obscurity of the third page...

Aha, the ultimate lazy bastard speed conversion - stick another dial on! You need to get a TRL DSC, which is an electronic gizmo that converts from KPH to MPH, removes the speed restrictor and doesn't mess up the other speed related things like the power steering. Have a look on www.trlperformance.com, there's instructions and everything there. Then you just need your original dial back on - if you're lucky it might be lurking underneath the new one they've put on.

Can't make this one, things to do, people to see...

Ah, well done, you win the prize for spotting my deliberate mistake . Don't even know the width of my own wheels
