Santa Pod Sunday 25th,

[antgti]

Not sure if any of you lot are going, but this sunday santa pod has the first RWYB of 2004 and it might be worth a look if weather is amazingly nice to us (listening to the rain on the window i think it may not) I am going up there with a big convoy of Puntos, (I'm sorry, i used to wn one and my mates still have a few) although one is hiding a 2.0 20v Coupe Turbo engine under the bonnett so should be quick,

I might even take the Diesel up the strip, as long as i get evenly matched, i don't wanna try a skyline cos that would be silly.

So is anyone else gonna be up there then, go on, even if it is cold there will still be a good turn out.

might make the trip up there if the weather's not too cold!!! Froze my tit's off on Sunday at the Newark meet but still had a damn good time.

I may well make the trip for that one, its only 35 mins for me.

However, the chances of no rain are probably zero - that place has its own micro-climate!!! It could be bright sunshine and 28 degrees everywhere else, you drive into Poddington and it starts to p!ss it down!!!

We could have a three-way diesel thrash, but after talking to Mr Frosticles at Newark, I don't much fancy my chances!  

[antgti]

why what has he done to his then, whats the spec??

[S11EPS]

Its been re-mapped to give him about 190 bhp and approx 300lb ft of torque.

He mentioned sunday that the guy was working on a new program too, so he may well bust the 200bhp mark soon!!

[frosticles]

Would be nice to get to the 200 mark but I doubt it. The new program should give me better fuel consumption and also more power but I've not been told of exact figures yet. When it's done Simon will do a power run in the car to see exactly what it's doing.
  It's in at the stealers today having the usual warranty work done (Creaking drivers seat base, Window regulators, Corroding Alloys) But hopefully will be back in my filthy mitts by this evening. Whilst at the Stealers, (Nottingham West Bridgeford) I saw an R32 in Berry Red which by all accounts is extremely rare?? All I can say about it is:- YES PLEASE!
