All booked on, paid an extra £60 for a garage for anyone that wants to come in with me on it.

Think John Whatley is coming too with his MK Indy R Hayabusa Turbo, along with Luke Shaw too.

Anyone else up for it?

mark chandler - 28/3/14 at 08:30 PM

Unfortunately I do not think my gearing is long enough for Silverstone, is this the £379 with 105db, may still be interested never the less.

yellowcab - 28/3/14 at 08:31 PM

Yes that's the one

I too think my gearing is too short, but hey ho - still gonna be fun sitting on the limiter in 6th

mark chandler - 28/3/14 at 08:32 PM

Time for big rear tyres

yellowcab - 28/3/14 at 08:34 PM

Yeah… I have a 3.14 diff sitting waiting to go in, to replace my 3.38, but I'm not taking car off the road to do it until winter again

I have the propshaft, the diff and the half shaft repair kits. Just about ready to lift them in

mark chandler - 28/3/14 at 09:28 PM

I,m already 3.14, car still hits the limiter maybe I need to get used to the pain, but agree it's an afternoons work.

A bit to rich for my tastes I'm afraid, though I might have the gearing for it.

3.21 freelander?

I have a 3.14, but only rev to 10.5k... so its basically the same as a 3.38. 126mph top end there or there about.

Looking forward to it, jsut a little worried it may be the first track day out after the rebuild. Glad you got a garage Olz!

Don't be worried, I'll be behind you to catch your turbo when it falls off

Finders keepers, and all that, yeah?

jwhatley - 30/3/14 at 06:54 PM

No way that's falling off now. Although there might be something else I can donate!!

Yeah. Looking at videos from Friday I'm probably at least 1 gear lower than Ollie. Theoretical top speed is 149mph; I've never topped it out on track (rarely get into 6th) but had it past 140 and still pulling hard on foreign m/ways. It's a bit tall for track use but it's nice cruising and breaking 70 in first is fun. Would be interesting to see how it is on a big circuit.
