JKM RR day - Saturday 2nd of February 2013

[Wazzzer]

new tyres fitted, refuel and a quick check over tomorrow and I'm ready to go

[Prawny]

I need to hope I can leave work early enough tonight to drive 150 miles home before the post office shuts, or I'm up at 0630 to get to the postoffice for 7am, so I can get my new forge 007 piston and rebuild the valve before I leave, then down to GSF on eastern road to pick up my new air filter which I'll fit in the carpark before it runs

Pump the tyres up to a more road friendly pressure, fill up the meth tank, and off we go!!!

I've got a front engine mount to rebuild today, using hockey pucks. I also have en exhaust leak to fix, gearbox mount to fit, pas belt and wash.

Bloody hell boys don't leave it too late lol

Nick you can always borrow my 007p if it doesn't work out

[Khare]

It's the classic pre dyno day rush. All mechanical niggles are to be fixed on this day, including niggles you could have done last week, but as you already planned a car day the day before the event, you've left everything for then.

I have some new wheels to go on today too 

[Wazzzer]

I'm ok, just a quick fluid check in the morning and I'm good to go

Me too. Work all complete today although exhaust has started rubbing on the back axle, so that's a job for next week.

[Prawny]

see you all in an hour or so lads

[Khare]

Great turnout and fun day

Prawny really great to meet you, massive privilege

Hopefully see you down at the socovag meets soon 

Oh and nice seeing the IOW massive turn up in numbers again, as always lads

[Prawny]

Absolutely cracking Day!

Massive thanks to Khare and others for organising it, and as always, a big thanks to Jim, Keith, and Kate for running a top day. I've been coming to JKM dyno days every year for over 6 years now and they never dissapoint.

Very nice to meet everyone, I won't name everyone because I'm useless and I'll forget someone, but Khare, Wazzer, DaveIOW, mk1 golf man,  + everyone else!  I've been chatting to Wes over PM's for months about all sorts of random crap, having met at JKM in 2008 and not seen him since, so nice to put a face to the name, again! haha.

Been worrying about how the car would perform all week, but I didn't need to as it did me proud on the rollers. Very happy with the result.

If anyone has any pics of vids it'd be cool to see them
