That's me done, just need to pack the car. 8)

So over the last week I have, repaired my cracked front splitter, fitted new front pads, changed all my bald R888's to road tyres :( , replaced my wideband sensor for the third time, got a bung for the exhaust to quiet'n it down, (hopefully under 105dB now), picked up 20lts of E85 to act as octane booster :roll: , got an oil leak fixed and car MOT'd, given it a couple of coats of polish, checked all fluids and taken for a good hard test drive to see if anything breaks. :lol: :lol:

Got a DVD player for the wife and kid to stop them getting too bored, some new DVD's also. Just need to work out where my tools and 4 spare wheels with slicks are going to fit now. :lol: :lol:

Can't Wait, see most of you on the ferry on Sunday morning. Looking forward to the break as much as anything :thumbsup

Me too

Usual S1 prep - balljoints, wheel bearings, pads, fluids, oil seals etc. :roll: :D

Oh Robin, eventually bled the brakes by the traditional method as suggested, but only after my shiny new "Eezibleed" spewed its contents over the screen :rage
Next time I'll zip strap the top on.

May make MMC, but I'm west coast route and Chunnel.
So, if I don't see you en route, will see you in the bar at Le Mans :beer :thumbsup

cheers
George

Are there any noise limits on the tracks?

S1 with no Cat be okay?

Le Mans says 100db - assume that will be static.
Others not listed...

Well looks like the cat will be going on in the morning :roll:

You will then need absolutely a silenced cat pipe and a very reasonable exhaust box!

Mas du Clos and Mornay quite severe on noise limit... LM and VdV less so, I would target max 90dB.

And please don't ask for the exact figures, measurement process & Co... it is all down to their discretion.

We can go... in 36h!
