North coast 500 tips.

How do all. I'm doing a run around the north coast 500ish at the beginning of June. I've got 4 full days to get from newcastle, up there, round and back again. The plan so far is to get to the Isle of skye on the first day and do a bit of a tour of the island and stay the night. Day 2 get somewhere ...

Re: hot dip galvanized vehicle wheels

Galvanising doesn't leave a completely smooth finish, I imagine you'd have trouble sealing the tyre against the rims if you did that.

Re: 2ZZ idle problems

if it were constantly doing it Id say the inlet manifold gasket is leaking air in, the fact it goes away when you restart the car would point me to the throttle body at fault.

Re: Zandvoort and Zolder double header

I can only echo Andy's post above, a brilliant couple of days both on the track and the evenings socials. Wet and wild at Zandvoort, it certainly didn't stop us from getting out and having incredible fun though, even the guy in the tvr tuscan was out giving it some beans, he was brave! I can now say...

Re: Zandvoort and Zolder double header

I have twin rooms booked at both the NH and De Pits, quite happy to share and split the cost if that helps.

Re: Ex-McLaren F1 and Lotus designers crowdfund lightweight

I like it, looks good, has the right proportions about it, price is big but so is the spec.. they need to look at doing a more basic model imo, 240-250hp with a regular H pattern gearbox ,get it under 70k all in. A race spec sequential would soon piss you off on the road, no matter how infrequent yo...

Re: Pothole damage claim

One of those cases where an onboard camera would certainly help your argument without all the bullsht back and forth. I'd be going along one evening with a can of that special yellow spray marking paint. Ring the pot hole, put a great big arrow pointing towards it and the word "POTHOLE" in 2ft lette...

Re: Anybody got a nice S1

Have to admit that looks fantastic in black. The bit of colour from the stickers and the silver wing mirrors set it off nicely. Cerainly it's the first one that's made me want one!! Sorry but I'd have to address the comedy ride height though. What is it sitting at, front looks really high, like 140m...

Re: Anybody got a nice S1

What a bummer, literally! Did you see it happening or was it just a shafting from behind? Good to hear you got out of it reasonably unscathed, your shoulder and hip ache will probably be down to the harnesses not being done up tight enough and you've been able to move in the seat somewhat, harnesses...

Re: Wheelbolts: stationary taper versus standard

I've been using the std wheel bolts on my track evora no problem. They are the same bolt as used on BMW's.
