Scottish Rolling Road
Ill give them a phone sometime this week. I think Scotland has a few Manual owners this wuld be pretty suitable. What I plan would be, get about 20-30 cars (using other clubs of course), put any FWD, RWD, 4WD, then Autos last. This would allow a smoother day. Ill keep you all posted. I guess sometime in May would be best. Dave G

Scottish Meet - Sunday 23rd April
Look Craig your not that fat. :nana2: I removed the spare wheel the day before. But in its place, I put my tool kit (very handy at race days), 2 big amps and 2 large sub boxes. The only mod that is getting done to performance side of things now is the HKS ALC, which should hopefully do a good job for 1/4 mile track. I noticed at the end, I should have been at just over 100 but since the last gear change took so long it slowed me down a wee bit. Not too fussed about the weight really either. I am the same as you craig, why lose all the comforts. Dave G

At least it just showed the start line on that one. I managed a 14.4 on that run and Kev must have got something like 13.7, about 2 cars lengths by the end I think. Dave G

NZR road marking for private parking
If you rent the house, then you will have to contact them first. All you say is that it would be a good idea to get it done and it would make the benefit the property (they wont do it unless they benefit from it). Then they would have to contact the Highways Agency unless they delegated the task to you. If you own your house then all responsibilities lie with you. If you have no luck getting lines painted onto the public road, you can put signs up within the proerty stating that it is private parking . If you could get a visible spot. HTH, Dave G

No bother m8, she enjoyed it until they started getting hyper and running riots. Brett, sorry I should have phoned you. How is the new house? I have an offer in for another house in Dundee just now. Buying houses is tricky. Dave G

insurance for young people
I am 1700 FC for being 22 with 1 years no claims. I would double check the car that you are insured for on their system. A lot of companies I tried thought they had the right car on the system, but when I checked it out, it was wrong and the policy went up. I was getting quotes of £900-1100 before. I dont care about paying the extra, rather that and having void insurance.

Scottish Meet - Sunday 23rd April

The GF was on camera duties and all she took was videos of me from the starting line. One good one though of when I hosed an Integra from within the cab

Scottish Meet - Sunday 23rd April
The weather will absolutely brilliant today. Seen 6 Zs in total all from the forum. I managed to get a 14.4 on the 1/4 mile with almost standard car. Quite surprised by how addictive the track is! Next on the list ALC for the auto box and I should get into the 13s. Dave G

HICAS light
It is topped up right to the top. Any other ideas?? Could it be a loose connection underneath?

Scottish Meet - Sunday 23rd April
I shouldnt have been drinking vodka redbulls out of pint glasses last night. Feel terrible. Just away to give her a little wash, and the car. See you all there, Dave G

had a knock at the door 2day.....
Keep your eyes peeled, may be dodgy. Should have asked which club, and checked up with them. It would have ruled out possible threats. I done a lot of martial arts before and never heard of any body going round doors for potention participants. GL, Dave G

Congratulations to me
Passed my Bike test yesterday. First time :dance: . 3 minors, 2 of them were unpositive lifesavers, to55er, and the other I wobbled a bit at a junction, hardly noticable. Well pleased :nana2: Just a shame I dont have a bike as yet. Almost swapped my Z for one yesterday, but think I will wait. Shame cos I used to enjoy going out on my lessons cos it was out on the bike. Gave me something to come home for (apart from the Z of course :rolleyes: ).

Best Quarter Mile
Chunk, I struggle to wheel spin now after putting the new tyres on. Should I still deflate them or leave inflation at its 32 psi?? Thanks

Changing number plate

Boost Gauge hose
I have searched through previous threads without much luck. I have permenantly fixed in my boost gauge now and dont want to move it or play about with it again. Just to double check, can someone show me a pic of the pipe that the put their t-piece to take feed. TIA, Dave G
