Nick Mann

Just took the dog for a walk.... It's a lovely day at the moment, but when walking into the wind the chill that Derek mentioned is the kind that flash freezes your ears!! Out of the wind it's fantastic for Feb.

enigma
22-02-2004, 11:55 AM
We had some spots of rain at about 8:30, I then went out and refitted my NOS enabled inlet manifold, washed both cars and now its lovely outside........just f11cking freezing!

Sorry I let the side down, but there is a part of the front wing which looks quite shiney.

Good to meet everybody, noticed that there were more people at a northen mini meet that a full southern meet.

Spirit
22-02-2004, 07:40 PM
Hey looks like you all had a great time. Good to see Barry's car in the line up - something I for one had doubts would happen for a while yet ;)

Any more pics on the way ?

And PJ, at least you are not afraid to get her dirty :p

enigma
22-02-2004, 07:46 PM
OK I have some pics too!

First up.........A line of VR4s, you know whose they are!

Kieran
22-02-2004, 08:03 PM
So, all the usual suspects turned up, but this time we were graced with the Prescence of Mr Club VR-4 himself and his now working car!!!

Here's Barry's car to start with:

Kieran
22-02-2004, 08:08 PM
Mr BDA was present as well... Here's his car. From left to right we have BDA, Nick Mann, Derek, Mo and Barry. Sorry for the quality, I'm having to compress these to make 'em fit!

Kieran
22-02-2004, 08:11 PM
Nick Mann showed up too...

Kieran
22-02-2004, 08:13 PM
Mo (Zedy1) and the StormTrooper ;) Turned up too!!

Kieran
22-02-2004, 08:18 PM
Mike (Michaeli) and his 7G Vr4 also turned up. His Galant should have an MMCS in it, but some &%$"* removed the screen and stuck a boost gauge in it's place! :veryangry :Cry1: :furious3: I was too traumatised to take a picture of that crime, so here's the car instead!!

Kieran
22-02-2004, 08:20 PM
Derek was there too, with those LURVELY bonnet vents! :p :-D

Kieran
22-02-2004, 08:23 PM
And, of course, The God of GLS Power (Yours truly) also turned up, to outshine the lot! :-D :sunny:

Spirit
22-02-2004, 08:25 PM

believe it or not, but the only sign for the train station is about 200 yards from the bloody place!.. pff..

THEN!>?!!?!?! i came across this!?.. what a noise.. theres me sitting enjoying my radio, and i come across a walking band... :noshake:

/rant off

BraindG
22-02-2004, 09:34 PM
was a good day though, icey cold though, but nevermind.. thanks to all!..
im still convinced theres something else wrong with the car though... kinda narrowed it down now.. only happens under the following conditions..
1. engine is hot after 20 miles or so...
2. happens from take off till about 40... after that its fine..
what actually happens is pretty hard to describe.. but, it feels like your going over those rumble strips.. duga-duga-duga (my best rumble strip impression)...

ill suss it out though

SGHOM
22-02-2004, 09:34 PM
