Wez Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I am having to eek out the 114 octane, my supplier forgot to send some drums out last week, so I am watering it down a lot, more than I really wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 The circuit filling station may not be open, and if it is, the price is eye watering IF?! Oh crap. 2.5 miles long circuit. I'll probably get 60 miles out of my tank - 24 laps. Will fill up at the A50 Shell station. I have only three petrol cans that'll get me about another 24 laps. That's best case, probably a lot less. So how long is 45 laps going to last? Or how many laps would you expect in a day? I remember at Oulton the petrol went pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 I will have an empty fuel container (none legal, but what the hell...) free after the first session, you can put 25 litres in that Pete, at lunch time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a plan! I reckon that's bigger than my fuel tank - will it fit in the Tiger passenger bay? Just been out and stripped all the carpet and fixed an indicator. All ready for a soaking.

Wez Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Looks like I will have to leave the R888s at home as I cannot get them in the motor with a passenger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Err, why not leave the passenger.... ? You can get them in the back if you put a blanket over them and tie the tailgate down on them. Bit draughty and maybe fumey, but they will fit. Or 2 on the front seat, 1 on one of the rear seats, the 4th in the boot, and the passenger in the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I'm sure they'd fit if you removed the space saver? I've done two on the back seat, two in the boot (and closed it!) before now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 What a cracking day out.I know I left a tad early but I wasn't pushing my luck. Some of the more aggressive cars were starting to take up more of my attention than what was going on in front of me so rather than tempt fate and have a huge off (did somebody already have one of them ??? ) I decided against going back out. I also felt my japanese barge with a stupidly big turbo strapped on it showed itself well and didn't embarass itself much in the caterfield crowd Great to meet all the guys that went from here, because most were northerners I hadn't actually met any of you before. There was almost as many suprass there today as caterfields Anyways great time had. Hope the rest of you make it home safe and sound as well.

dangerous brain Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 No unfixed cameras allowed in the car and I didn't waste any of my tracktime standing on the side wall taking pictures I actually almost ran out of petrol at one point I stayed out there for so long. Bignum has an entertaining spin to show everyone I hope there aren't too many pics of my car as it was bloody filthy from the dug up mud lane that was used as access to the pitlane.

Sheefa Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Fantastic day indeed! I've got the vids and boy is that Zeus loud, as is Mr Mike B's single. Shame I didn't hear yours go round Wez! Great to meet all the guys, new faces and old as always. Got loads of Video footage, but like a pleb I left the charger behind which CW has kindly picked up. Once I get it back, I'll be paying him a visit for my boost issues soon anyway, I'll post the the vids guys. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 did that stray pipe make no difference then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Nope Rich , but bloody well spotted anyway matey I think, as suggested by both Chris and Trick, that it's the bost controller solenoid so we'll get that tested and find out. I'm going to replace the shitty silicone hoses that are pretty much fooked anyway with strong stock ones. TBH, I have a 1.2 bar RR in the exhaust pipe anyway, so there's no real need for a Boost Controller. I just want that number 2 tubbie back online!

Burna Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Had a great day and it was good see the old faces and meet some new ones Weather was bit bad towards the end of the day but glad to see everyone stuck at it, especially CW as he nearly took out my eardrum when he came past in the ZEUS! Big thank you to Bignum, Pete, and Mike for taking me and Jo for trips around the track Can't decide which was my favourite experience. Pete's Tiger was something I've wanted to try for a long time and I certainly picked the right day today Something I'll never forget, think you'd better build me one Pete The very wet laps with Bignum were fun as you could feel just when the traction was going to give. The one to top it though was Mike's car, WOW!!! I'd never been in a single before and I think I've now been spoilt to get my first ride in that one It's just something I can't explain, my name is now on the list incase he ever sells it Photo from camera phone below during my trip out with Mike, sure made me feel alive, alive but muddy Thanks again mate I'll post more pics tomorrow when I've sorted through them.
