What is NEEDED to get car ready for RTUK Festival?

[Romil Davda]

Thought I would start this thread as I know how useful it can be to get some help and assistance with ND (well RTUK Festival) only a week away. What issues or problems do you have (car related)? What parts do you required (I dont mean bigger turbo either!)? or just need hug?:


Romil Davda (Staines): Oil breather set up breathing very heavy. dont think its something I can fix before ND, so will just go on track as it is. Also need to get tracking done but no biggie.
Just over a week to go :D

If roll cage is a "show cage", you can save some time and pass... but knowing you, if you've started, you've got to finish... Mr OCD!
Washer for sump plug?
Dale - Have fun this weekend... I hear they have tickets available to buy at the gate!

A show cage?! wash your mouth out Romil, you know me better than that! :D The sump plug has a washer but for some reason just likes to drip oil still :rolleyes: I'll seal it up ;)

[Andy M]

Clean / re-grease rear calliper hand brake mech and slide pins (one already done)
Bleed brakes
Adjust hand brake
Re-Ft big rad
Re-fit charge cooler
Engine & gear box oil

Good bloody clean!

[Brigsy]

Quick oil change on the megane and ready to go.

[TNT ANDY]

Take all my tools out of Fluffy (weekend work horse) and give her a quick once over.

[Nick k]

Finishing making exhaust downpipe and wrap it,
replace passenger front wheel bearing
sort out drive shaft gatter as its sh&t itself
set up fueling as running low 10 on boost
finish wiring so all willy gauges work
Bleed air from brakes and ABS modulator
pray the SAAB T25 i've just bolted on actually works :crap:

[Romil Davda]

FFS! will we have any cars on track?!?!:rolleyes:

Brigsy - No van? Did you get the box sorted?
TNT Andy - I need a hand putting up my tent :ashamed:
Andy M - Battery sorted?

As for the rest, only 1 weekend to go...

I've been speaking to James5 and we recon I got an issue with the rings :sad2:. I won't be going on track as if she fooks up on track, it may spoil it for others! I am picking up an engine on Saturday and will try and fit this on Sunday but need an engine crane and a new water pump (plus gaskets). Its a real long shot but I want to get on track. There is too much to do to the other white 5: Change wheels, tracking, petrol tank leaking, fit starter motor, fit carb, fit boost hoses, adjust boost, fit AFR gauge (once removed from other 5), do tappets, fit rear arch (but dont have screws/bolts), :cry:

[dangerous dave]

Chuck all my stuff in Jamie's car

Roof down
Fuel stop
Rock and roll...

[Brigsy]

Brigsy - No van? Did you get the box sorted?

Not yet mate. Im not sure how good the box is so might get it rebuilt before fitting.

Get a big 2ltr plastic bottle catch tank whacked on your gtt... Vent holes in the top like mine ;)

[car.crash]

I thought you already had a forklift licence!

Forklift is not a licence, just a competence test.

[Nottswoody]

Just about the same state as last year for me HG has a leak as loosing water but still boosting but not spending anymore money onit untill this engine comes out and I will rebuild it and sell it on. Then Volvo lump will go in over winter. So no track action at blyton. But I may give it a shot up pod :) if it gets that far :crap:

[Romil Davda]

Forklift is not a licence, just a competence test.

That'll do for you.

[Hammer]

Not coming to the ND, but for the retro show on the Sunday I just need to get some graphics on the sides :)

[Alex]

Romil, just go for it! A couple of years back at Mallory, Tony drove his car there and back (3.5 hours each way) with melted piston AND he did the track day! Just get a big catch tank like Brigsy said and pour the oil back in when it fills up! :D

I'm going to give it some stick, lets put it that way :)

I'm sticking to a bar of boost as we're not on race fuel and the temps. Plus its only the second outing in seven years!

[Nottswoody]

Driveshaft
Suspension top

That's it if she blows she blows

If I can get there my mrs is in hospital she tells me Togo but I don't know what todo for the best (20week pregnant) as you know we miscarried earlier in the year so were worried it happening again..

I really want to go but something's are more a priority..
Hope you all enjoy it if I'm not there I will try and get to pod..

Have fun.
