Dammit, I'd love to come along again... need to get my gearbox / clutch sorted though :(

It's over a month away, surely you'll get it sorted before :whip:

[Richy_Boy]

lol, yeah, I'll get it sorted by then, but likely to still be paying for it :cry: I'll see what I'm like after I've found a gearbox. It's looking like a £650+ fix though with fitting and a new clutch :(

[Algie]

If I can find a head I'd be up for this:nod: :thumbs:

surely you an s14 box will turn up on here for no more than 150 pounds and the clutch not sure of your spec but wouldnt be more than 300 pounds and there are always some local people:sxoc: more than willing to help out with the fitting of it all to save on labour charges so you should be able to get it all dont for about 450 pounds at most :)

[Richy_Boy]

:no: I've budgeted:

£150 G'box
£300 ACT organic clutch
£30 Fluids

.. and then £160 labour as it's not something I feel confident doing on my car (ask Algie, he had to help me with my ARBs for God sake, even then we still bolted the front in upside down! Doh" :D )

[jrtuning]

yeah sounds about right put up a thread though in your area section and lure people with the prospect of a nice cool beer when the job is done;)

[Algie]

lol, that was my fault not yours, I shouldn't have been rushing so much:whip: (and we should ahve checked you r gearbox before you left too:rolleyes: )

[^adam^]

i doubt i'll make this one but i'd deffo be up for one later in the year,

[Richy_Boy]

I broke my virginity on this track adam.. it really is a very good track :nod: and the staff are the best I have ever encountered (which makes you feel nice and safe)

Rich

[^adam^]

[Parker]

he had to help me with my ARBs for God sake, even then we still bolted the front in upside down! Doh" :D )

Alex, Parker and I were at the full GP session when it was cancelled due to the torrential rain, is it OK to use our credit on this event?

[SM]

I'd drop alex an e-mail :thumbs:

[Parker]

I'm doing the full day with the PTS crew on the 24th IIRC. Full day on the Indy circuit :)

[Club MSV Trackd]

Hi Juz,

Yes you can use your credit from the GP day but you will have to give us a call to book rather than doing it online.

My telephone number and email address are below.

Thanks,

Thanks Alex :thumbs:

[Daniel san]

I guess there's a noise limit? :cry:

[Jonny]

I guess there's a noise limit? :cry:

I think there is, but they don't strictly enforce it - they didn't noise test anyone at the sxoc day, or the mg one that I did...

[Daniel san]

I don't know how loud the car is but if someone tells me there's no limit or it's not enforced then I'm in. 22nd is my birthday too :)

[Club MSV Trackd]

I think there is, but they don't strictly enforce it - they didn't noise test anyone at the sxoc day, or the mg one that I did...

Unfortunately there is a noise limit of 105db and it is strictly enforced. Although we do not test everyone on an individual, static test, everyone is tested whilst out on circuit, we are just discreet about it ;)

[Daniel san]

Gotcha, ah well, might come down and spectate then guys.

EDIT: Thanks btw :)

Unless you can test kinda mid bend, when I haven't got the throttle wide open :D

[Jonny]

Ooops - I stand corrected ;)

Dan - what exhaust do you have?

[Daniel san]

I have a GP Sport Spec Ti titanium but I also have a Blitz K3 450R turbo kit with ex w/g and screamer pipe

[Jonny]

I'm guessing it's quite loud then ;) :wack:

Can't you get access to a dB meter to see if you'd be allowed on track?

[Daniel san]

Yes mate I used to install home cinema system going back a few years so have a SPL meter at home. It will pass 105db on tickover and probably at 4500rpm, but at WOT fookin forget it :no:

[Danny_Boy85]

List of whos going then??

I might be up for this as would my friend who i work with??? Would that be ok???

[Cosy]

I guess if I bring my bike they will just say no bikes/cars together?

Otherwise I will just be spanner monkey

[JuZ]

I'm pretty sure I'll be there :nod:

Alex, if I came along but got black flagged for being too noisy, would I be able to go back out again on the understanding that I kept the loud pedal under 5/5.5k rpm?

[Jonny]

I've just emailed alex, as online booking seems to have closed for this now - I've asked if places are still available, and what the situation is for you Dan :)

[Jonny]

It's full :(

[Daniel san]

Thanks buddy.

Ah well, it'd be good to know for future ref. Shame they couldn't let me off, it would be my birthday after all :D

Hi Dan,

If your car is too loud we give you the opportunity to quieten it down - either by adding silencers or keeping it quieter by some other means. However, unfortunately if you are still to loud then we have to ask you to remain off circuit.

As a point to mention to anyone who is interested in doing trackdays in the future - I would suggest that noise limits at circuits across the country will be lowered over the coming years due to council restrictions. :mad:

Therefore, if you are thinking of doing trackdays - simply don't buy a noisy exhaust because the chances are, in a few years time, circuits in the middle of nowhere are the only places you'll be able to visit.:(

Thanks

Alex

[Jonny]

Ooops, see above :D

[JuZ]

Bum it is full :(

I hadn't got round to booking it :no:

I shall have to do September the 4th now, anyone going to join me? :thumbs:
