***********Now at York Raceway NOT Elvington as Elvington Cancelled********************


Hi all,

Just got back from Jamaica - 2 weeks with sun, sea, smoke and red strip. GGGEEEESSS it's cr@p and cold here!!

Anyway - Anyone going to RWYB day in York on 23rd?
Think I'm going down with a few mates.

Would be good to see some R's kick some ar$£s down the 1/4 - I'll be having a go - Although I'm a 1 bar mong at the moment due to my boost controller issues I'm down a bleed valve.

Shaun

you won't look stupid what ever power you run mate, it's only a bit of fun and most of all - practise.

Last time I went there was only 1 other R there so was dissapointing.

They usually have RWYB early on in the day, then stop them for half hour or so while the VW's goes up as it is some VW event as well as RWYA. But you can usually get up to 10 runs in if you just keep going up the track. I prefer to have 3 or 4 runs and watch others. Bearing in mind we have to drive them home!!!!

Look out for me in the blue R!

oh yeah - and they didn't noise test last time I was there either. Basically check your tyres are ok and your battery is secure and your away!!

Have you tried screwing the piston in? I just did my rear brakes for the first time in 6 years, possibly the first time in 16 and I was surprised at how free it was. One of the caliper guide bolts had seized on the other side tho.

With 278bhp you should hit high 12s if you can launch it and change gear fast. Nothing stupid about that.

I'm not sure whether this event is on or not but I'm toying with pulling my finger out and getting on the Javelin trackday on Saturday. One oil leak and some mapping to do, there should be time but you can never tell with these cars.

Yes this is still on, it's Elvington which is cancelled. York raceway is still on.

Looks like I'll be flying the R flag on my own!
