Lee P Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Well done Matt, was a great day Good to see a mix of cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 Thanks a lot for coming guys, wouldn't have been the same without you - for a start I would've had to eat a whole hog myself We were definitely lucky with the weather, last day of summer ? I think it could be. But we will definitely do this again next year, just a bit earlier in the year to guarantee the weather. Was a fantastic turnout though, everyone seemed to have a good time and you're right Lee, was a nice mix of cars The dyno was busy and from first look it seems like we made somewhere between £700 and £800 for charity too Thanks again all. I've just cracked open a cold one, the pizza is on it's way and the sofa beckons - I'm knackered Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffleman Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 Just had confirmation, we made literally a couple of quid under £700 for St. Catherines Hospice. Well done guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 (edited) A great day. Well organized. 3 of the 15 in country Marcos Mantis's were there. Great cars. The owners were pleasant and chatty too. Crazy mini running a Vtec Honda engine made 194 bhp Even had a Nova on the rollers, think that was close too 200 as well. Back too us. Juanchan and I decided to do run, for charity of course. Shouldn't have. D'oh. Richies came out top. UK TT Auto, stock everything, ran 340 at the crank. 245 wheels. Mine. Jspec TT Auto, stock 300 crank, 237 wheels. Not too bad. The power curve was clean, showing no hiccup at the sequential changeover. So I'm happy. Or was until Cheekymonkey ran. Jspec manual TT BPU, still on 440 injectors, res ring and decats with FCD An impressive 398 crank. Some pics. Not as nice as Conncl's though. Sorry about the run up Matt. Obligatory pic of Wayne's. 398 Cheeky monkey's A hard working team. Thanks everyone. Paul the Austec owners beast. Not too be outdone. Nice Cerbera. All in all top time. Absolute pleasure meeting everyone. Jamie, Ryan, Darryl, Rush, lovely guy thanks for your time bud, Chingy, nice chat mate and a lovely car, John Dude, GZaerojon, Ash. You looked knacked bud. Gary and Toby and friend. 2JG Jeff. And everyone else who I apologise for not remembering. Eastbourne chap. Brilliant.
