    Garage Weekend - 21/22 April 2018 - Nottingham

    Hi all,

    I am yet again going to host a garage weekend at mine, on 21/22 April 2018 in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.

    Formula will be the same as usual - anyone is welcome to come along for anything from a few hours to the whole weekend, and the general plan is to either do some work on your own car (I have garage space for one car, and driveway for two, plus plenty of parking on the street), help out others with their car, or just stand around and have a chat

    If you're planning on doing something to your car, please bring your own tools if possible (so there's enough go go round), but I do have a selection of tools available for use, including a compressor & impact gun for stubborn bolts, and I can also reflash any VR4 engine/gearbox ECU

    I look forward to seeing plenty of old and new faces!

    I'm hoping to come along if that'd be OK?

    Would someone(s) be available to help me with an AYC fluid change/bleed please? Otherwise I'm a pair of hands for anyone that needs it.

    Sounds good Having a rough idea of who's coming (and who may wish to stay overnight) will be useful, but last-minute is also just fine

    I am definitely in.

    Planning to bring the VR-4 with a view to repatching my oil sensor oil leak and maybe an AYC clutch pack fluid change, but really just happy to help out others seeing as the last one I was at involved a lot of hours on the RVR!
    October 2023 fleet status: 100% operational

    Not been on here for a while as my life has been hectic lately, my twins were born on Saturday 17th, it was a long labour and they were only released from hospital on Thursday night.

    I will be at the garage weekend with tools and parts, I will try and fit what I can before the weekend if I Have time, I have quite a lot of stuff to fit, I'm looking forward to it,

    Definitely put me down for tuning please, I have the perrin 3 port valve to fit then tune

    Congratulations Lee

    Will be nice to meet you if you can get here, but of course your kids should take priority if you're needed at home!

    I'm coming, I'm at a christening on the Sunday though at 2:00pm in Crewe.
    SO far I have:
    A replacement abs pump
    Front and rear brembo calipers
    Spark plugs
    Perrin 3 port boost valve
    Innovate far wideband sensor
    Timing belt and pulleys
    Engine and gearbox oil
    Engine oil filter
    Fuel filter
    Probs my a couple of other bits.

    I will try and fit what I can but would really like the engine tuning bit done the most to get it running right, really looking forward to it, let's hope we get good weather.

    Things I want to get are:
    Better intercooler
    Solid intercooler pipes
    Coil on plug conversion
    Decat pipe
    3" stainless system (quiet as possible)
    Tein coilovers
    All new suspension components like drop links, sway bars, bushes etc
    Maybe tdo4 hl conversion, ( read a few dead threads on this but don't know if anyone actually made manifolds or kits?)

    I'll bring my own tools including electrical tools, power tools, spanners, socket set etc

    I'll be there
    Will bring my tool box and stands. I could bring jack, if needed.

    Not a big list of jobs for me. More advice and fun
    Gary, overnight is preferred but not essential. I'm happy to sleep in the car too

    Got plenty of floor space so bring an air bed/sleeping bag and I'm sure we can all squeeze in somewhere

    If you're able to bring a trolley jack, then will be useful to have more

    I have a couple of those and about 6 axle stands, also a engine crane if anyone needs it, my garage is a complete mess, got two welders as well, I workshop tig set and a 110 amp Clarke mug set (new not the best make but did the job).
    I'm not a welder although I can get some nice tog going on thicker stuff, I'd like to make my own exhaust system at some point, I have bought a few lengths of 2.5" pipe, centre and rear boxes to make a system for the 205 gti but not got round to it, I have 4 engines in my garage for that haha I'm a bit daft with money when it comes to cars, needs to sell a lot of stuff eventually
