    Re: Work needed before Renault Turbo Festival?

    Ok so in true RTOC fashion I started the outstanding work on the track beast the weekedn before. Collected the trailer and car which ate half of saturday (started at 6am ) completed some chores and spent a couple of hrs late in the evening trying to remember what the hell I was doing lol

    Spent most of sunday finishing most of the wiring, pipework, start setting up the stack dash and installed the EVC boost controller.

    Car starts and drives although some strange slight metalic grinding from the box that was not there was I drove it last year is present hope its due to sitting in storage so long but will find out soon enough

    So no time to get geo or RR or in fact finish the custom bonnet so its the mad max bonnet (engine sticking out of it lol) and set the boost up on track and hope the rad is upto the job of cooling and everything functioning as it should

    Figured I could always tweak it on the day but better to actually get there with it this year was better than a fully finished product

    VX220 vag conversion delayed a further 2 weesk now

    Really looking forward to coming and need to dig out tent next

    So sure I will be busy trying to finish a load of smaller jobs off and 1 big job - make seat which failed in epic style last time

    Did wonder why no relpy

    Will have a look but just trying to upload a few cheeky pics

    Yes going to come up tut north Friday evening after work and dropping young Grier off to nanny day care

    Hopefully if I need help to tweak the car will have plenty of time and few likely lads around to help. Been told under no circumstances NOT to track the octavia LOL - fancy some 4 wheel drifting with the new setup but alas it has done 121k and needs to tow the trailer back home so prob for the best in fairness gets abused as it is

    You there Friday night also sir?

    Changed over the rear screen, got in another now with a raider wording on it, looks much nicer on the back and not showing loads of scratches on it now in the window. Just need to find the sticker to put in the back of the window plus sort out a good replica of the more to life with renault.

    I know it's there, it's an ok replica, comparing to Steves original rather get closer to that. No offence to his copy as he has got it replicated himself.

    Sooooooo she past, just one advisory rear wheel bearing seems to have a little play. Should be ok I reckon...
    Didn't get a chance to go for a drive as I ran out of time today, so the trip here should see if it's ok
