SteveR Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I don't want the last bits of work making the earlier stuff look shoddy, so I decline the kind gentleman's offer, with thanks The sequential box needs a support bracket making, the propshaft needs making and balancing, the gear lever assembly needs fitting with some fabrication involved, and the engine needs mapping. Not a huge amount, but I have to also earn a living and keep this place in check as well. As for the Toyota engined Zeus, all the engine bits are made and here, they just want assembling, and an ecu loom making and fitting, together with a fuel and intercooler set up. a bit more time needed for this one Amen to the bit I've highted. You need Ryan.G to move in with you, he works like a man posessed! You could pimp him out too. I'd suggest primarily as a mapper, but whatever comes to mind.

vvteye Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I'm not a coplete novice but my ability to cope with Kate screaming slow down arrrgh!!! was tested, too. I'm not a complete novice, but I surpassed my ability on the final bend ;-) (Nice hiding of text there Stevie boy ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I think the whole Llandow things has been a massive success and well done to Steve for looking at it in the first place and organising the events which are great value for money. Paul W is also right to point out the other tracks, but I can understand the reticence of some to do this over Llandow which is a good stepping stone for those people who want a taste of a trackday. The track day me Dave F and Trig did at Brands (£99 in Dec 200?) was good too, shared the track with all sorts of machinery with no problems. Taking the supra around the same track i'd spectated at as a lad and following in the tyre tracks of so many motorsport legends added to the experience for me personally. May be just open up the next Llandow event to friends of supra owners (whatever car they have) from the start to ensure numbers are up or that we know we are a little light alot earlier? The days are proving popular so if a supra owner happened to miss out to a 'non supra' entrant then they were more than likely a bit slow signing up and can just come to the next one!

Tigger Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Just like to echo what has been said all ready.... Well done Steve and to the team;). excellent day and very well organised by you and the track. Great little track for the inexperienced and a good warm up for those to test out their cars ect. Oh and of course a huge big thank you to John, Steve and Chris for being brave and taking me round I had a great time, and just want to get on the track myself now:ecstatic: Oh and thanks to Danny for letting me borrow his helmet:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steady_dave Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Steady Dave: You can save a good bit by not staying over night, surely? I can indeed but didn't want to get up at 4 in the morning to drive down to the south of wales from sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Kenny Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Straw poll for me to get measure of interest: Who would seriously be up for Llandow 2009 2, assuming it was on a convienient date? Most likely September-ish. Who would seriously be up for Llandow 2010? Who would seriously be up for both? I'm a bit late getting to this, but... I probably wouldn't be able to make part 2 this year, but I'm definitely up for 2010 Just to echo everyone else too, I had a great time and would like to go to Llandow again. Paul, I'd very much like to try some of the bigger circuits too, hopefully I'll see you at one some time soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Steve have you got the photo's from the camara man yet? Nope - probably be another week or two TBH. Photos is his 2nd job, linepainting is his weekday role. The moment I ge them I'll post a few samples up like I did last year (hopefully at least 1 of everyone) then start a thread taking orders.

Same thing happened last year and he promised it'd be different this time, but the pics were worth it in the end so fingers crossed he'll come through again this year.
