Cheers

Old JIL was really on top form yesterday

Just given the brakes and fluid a good overhaul and was running a bit too much boost for track .Had to turn the wick down towards the end tho ...was all getting a bit too warm in the boot

Even managed to upset a K-tec demonstrator which was an added bonus

**bernard** · 15-06-2009, 18:47

Was a wicked day really enjoyed the track, shame my mate had to smash up his 200sx

lol. Deferentially going book up some more track sessions in the 5 its handled it well with also covering over 700miles over the weekend. It was really good to meet some of you lot cheers

**dickiegtt** · 15-06-2009, 19:12

Awesome day and weather was tops

, track action was ace, great watchin you lot rip round

Shame about the non existant rtoc stand, just random, fine example renault turbos dotted everywhere! And the aggro in the mornin with ticket/money related issues

**jesus in the seat of a 5** · 15-06-2009, 20:30

Cheers everybody for a mint time..

, had an excellent time, managed to get to the camping early , where me an krissey m were greeted by fred and pascal and all the other french guys whomb had travelled the long journey..

, managed to polish off half the cool box before fish head , laura , bernard [sam} and tom arrived..

, had a good time lookin @ the gt`s whilst drinking pascal`s wine all eve...

, then crashed with a blinder of a headache...

.
The next day was meet with the challenge of a driveshaft being put in {mainly}by the truelly lovely nick kettle aka tarrmac trasher, with the aid of clee`s ever exstensive tool box..

, after a quick test drive itwas then on the track , the ole car went extremly well and i was soon picking up the pace...and bad habits..

, like trying to undertake..

, all that aside , i had a mint day and i was surprised that even on standard boost with minimal mods how competetive the little car was..a few clio`s` and meganes were challenged..especially in the corners..

, maybe it was just my new suit of which i felt like a burke in...

, anyhows , thanks people, you all made it a fab day..ohh an krissey m i have your sunglasses , they look better on me..

.
ps , tom , i was so sad to see your car buddy, i hope you get something sorted out soon ..

.

**Kris M** · 15-06-2009, 21:52

Yeah was a great day / evening

Thanks to clee and Nick for the passenger sessions, also to Brigsy for afew goes in the van...Never seen so many peoples reactions to a white van hammering at 18psi down the straight at Rockingham

, despite the missfire..think we still managed afew laps without problems

Real nice to see the French guys at the campsite, some very cool touches done to their cars

**ANIL EK3** · 15-06-2009, 22:26

was a really good show, was a bit awkward at first cuz felt out of place lol, was a really nice track very fast

, thanks everyone

**stu21t** · 15-06-2009, 22:28

i didnt think the "show" was all that tbh
but for the meeting of old/new people it was all good,
didnt get to meet too many rtoc'ers as the stands were all jumbled up/nearly non existant and there was never any1 there. lol

unfortunately my clutch had packed up and any more than 2mm throttle with no boost meant it spun up like a bitch lol.

and sorry to any1 who was near when i let the antilag/launch control off
its quite loud. lol
