Re: Recommendations for rear RS lightweight carpet set?

Southbound supplied mine and I was pleased with that - and Dave Nunn (?) was very helpful with advise.

Re: 1974 Carrera Coupe - RHD, UK car

Did you have to replace the bushings inside the front struts ?

Oh dear - the paint quality on that press really lets the picture down - I think Nick needs to restore the garage, or photoshop the equipment :-)

Re: Track Day Providers - Need Recommendation

Caterhams sound a good first in, so will call BaT to see if they can do 3 drivers across one car perhaps.

Many thanks

Track Day Providers - Need Recommendation

A colleague at work just did the introduction to super cars type day at Prodrive - Ferrari, Lambo, Aston for a few laps of each. He wants to do a track day but doesn't have a suitable car, so I suggested perhaps do one of those full days where you pay for 'part of the car'. I know when I have been I...

Re: 2.4E From IKEA to Blut Orange

Great work and enjoying the unusual route of race car to street car. With the door panels, did you use a 'power stapler' to fix the vinyl to the mdf ? I assume there is foam between the mdf and the vinyl - does this go snug to the edge, or is it trimmed just short to allow the vinyl to wrap round ag...

Interesting dyno pull here - 615 cubic inches and 2100 bhp with 26lbs boost - nearly pulls the dyno apart.

Hot Rod Drag Week

OK so here is a subject that may have bought you to this thread thinking it could be a number of things :-) However, if you are in to american V8 and drag racing, then this week sees a five day, 1200 mile street car drive across the US. No big deal, but these cars also have to run the quarter mile d...

Great pics everyone and looks as though a good day was had.
