ENGINE -Hurricane induction kit -1.8 K-Series with Piper 270 Cams (engine was replaced in Feb 2007 for same stock K-series with on 20k on the cloc...

Andy/Jamie/Neil, if you want to leave your car at mine (Borehamwood M25 J23) between Brands and Silverstone and fly home and back etc, I could drop you off at the airport etc. Just a random thought to throw into the mix.

Andy/Neil - I found a Goldtrack evening session on Monday 11th on the National Circuit. Myself and Paul Harding are probably going to do it. If either of you want to come down on the Sunday and crash at mine, your more than welcome. I am just over an hour south of Silverstone. I'll be working from h...

Andy, I've copied you report over the the Elise Trophy site.

I'd like one please, not sure where mine has gone since being race prepped. I'll be at Tut Towers now that I've made it through Oulton.

Yep, Neil is spot on there. I improved 4 seconds a lap from my qualifying time to race time. I'm still 5 seconds off the pace of the front of Class A in my car. Until I get a RR with this replacement engine, I can't take any weight out, not sure where I could any way, so I'll never be competitive in...

Should stupid be in that list as well

I think Andy was going to learn the track in qually It's more erm fun/challenging/entertaining/scary - delete as appropriate :) to test in qualifying. The circuit it totally flat. Not sure I am going to test or not, might do the same as what I did for Oulton - read the circuit guide a few times. I'...

Excellent thread and write up Andy. Good to meet you at the weekend. Great result in your 1st race.

See you at TT07

With the transmission on Friday night, they left out the audio track that contained the in car footage. Hopefully Motors TV will not screw up on the re-runs.

I think around the 725kg mark. I know my 2000 S1 was 791 pre race trim, its now 751 race prep'd.

There is another option.... There is a company down south that is having a couple of batches of super super light forged wheel in S1 and S2 sizes made. First batch is all taken (its only a small lot) they should be in the UK in a month and a bit. I am told they are lighter than the 340R mag rims 8)...

I will be over in San Jose - San Francisco 10hr flight, would have to get the night flight (1930) as Virgin flight leaves too early (1630). Arrive in the UK at lunchtime, as you say, blat it up to Oulton and see if I can get out for a few laps late afternoon. Sounds like you a pro at the power nappi...

Robin, 18th is correct. I am planning to do the test day. However, found out this week that I might be in the US and I won't fly back till the Friday. Might have to get my car taken up to Oulton and fly back into Manchester Airport and test in the afternoon. Never driven Oulton - meant to be a grea...
