Gimmo, your photo links are not working (ie not enlarging) for me....

Gill and i will leave on Thursday evening after work to arrive at the campsite Friday early afternoon.
Today i have changed all the brake fluid and serviced the front calipers.
Removed a couple of small things that are not needed and had a go at installing an extra air tube direct into air box.
Four new Toyo 888s bedded in last Saturday evening.

Oil change, brake fluid change, coolant change, coolant hoses changed all with help from Marco @ Torque Automotive and Nismo on Friday. They also unseized my brake compensator and rear claipers. Saturday I spent approx 6 hours changing the inner CV boot and in the process snapped a drop link, which required an 11 mile bike ride to get some new / replacement parts. New rear pads installed yesterday, but they are binding slightly, so need to give Joe / CC a call this morning

What's up?

Are the sliders all..... slidey....?

Yes and no. Both rear calipers were seized on the bottom bolt, these snapped when trying to undo them, so the caliper carriers were taken next door and had the bolts drilled out, trouble is, not all of it was drilled out, so the sliders had to be shortened to accommodate, which in turn caused me issues on Sunday when fitting the yellow stuff rear pads.

I've dropped Joe a PM for some carriers and some new sliders

sounds like you have had a fun weekend Begbie , sorry about the rear brakes problem mate , if you need a hand just give me a shout mate .

oil and filter changed , brake fluid changed thanks to Marco and Alexis so just the wheels and harnesses to do on Wednesday and I'm good to go

A few last minute hitches also.

Mine was in today to sort out boost leak and replace front wishbones.

Whilst this work was completed, I've also noted an oil leak I'd not seen before, a notchy clutch, a seeping steering rack, some rather heavily cracked discs and also have a broken undertray,

So, Wednesday will involve replacing said discs, bleeding the clutch and brake fluid and looking to make sure she's all good for Spa. And fitting my new track tyres and tracking.

Nothing like some last minute fettling before heading off Thursday afternoon

anyone able to give me a general idea of how the Sunday will come to pass? whats planned and when would be nice. coming to check you all out on Sunday, wouldn't mind having a idea on what time to arrive etc etc.

They have a website which gives event timings as well as more general information.

Have a quick look here.

See you Sunday from 9 am then.

Seems I'm back to see Marco on Thursday. Anyone got any recommendations for gearbox oil?

I use this Alexis - I'm a bit of a Fuchs advocate though!

Thanks, but I've already ordered this. Realised this is what I put in first time, so might as well stick with what I've got

All relatively similar, although when you look at the detail specification of them it's interesting (for a numbers geek like me) to see the performance differentials.

But, if you've used it before, and it does the job, it's a no brainer!

There is an interesting video of this oil being used in -40C in a diff compared with another type of oil, makes interesting watching.

Anyway, convoy's?

Nobby is coming to mine and we're intending at leaving at 5am, to get to Dover for 7am, so will be taking A3, M25, M26, M20. Who's on the 8am ferry and will be going which way? I know Nismo will be taking a different route, but with the intention of meeting at a service station on the M20. Dan, Pete, McMike which way are you coming?

I'll be staying at the Travelodge in Ashford Thursday night, then heading to the 8am ferry so will meet anyone not at the Travelodge at Dover.

I'll be going the same way as you Alexis, but was planning to leave a little earlier than you as I'm a bit further away. It can take a while to get through security if they are in a bad mood.

But yes I'm booked for the 8am ferry too.

New silicon hose to the expansion tank fitted, that was the oldest thing on the car.

Will see you guys on the 8 a.m. ferry

Just wish I had another week to get the final few bits sorted, wheel alignment, Sparco seat fitting, getting all my other shit together!
Chris is away at the moment and won't be back until Friday morning so I've got all the kiddies stuff to sort out as well! Aaagh!
Yes, on 8am ferry too, but probably not wise to wait or convoy with me I'm always just in time

I'm booked on a Friday early evening ferry, picking up my two sons from school and arriving at the hotel around midnight. Are there any of you with driver only and a spare passenger seat that one of my sons can use to get into the circuit each day?

Do the Chalets at Campsite have anything like a toaster, Kettle, microwave, cutlery, crockery?

Funny, I was just thinking the very same thing

I'm taking my own bread anyway, maybe T-bags, coffee too

Yes, I pasted it from your email.

You bring Coffee and your homemade Gluten Free Bread - I'll bring Tea-Bags I've got lots of Milk Sachets and Bottled water courtesy of EIF. I think there is a Shop onsite. We wont be at Campsite that much.

back on track;

Do the Chalets at Campsite have anything like a toaster, Kettle, microwave, cutlery, crockery?

I can take one of them in Dave.

Yes the chalets are well equiped,but not sure about a toaster.
There is a town down the road that has everything you would need. But bring tea bags and money for beer.
