im taking the 16s for the show etc and the standard rims for the track. got my helmet coming this week too smileys/smiley2.gif smileys/smiley17.gif smileys/smiley4.gif

you think it will be safe to leave 16s, jack etc lying around when we are on the track? smileys/smiley5.gif

boz

14th February 2006, 04:40

very nice mate, going to be doing the same, but im scared of all the rattles etc when you put it back together LOL

Simo

14th February 2006, 04:42

very nice mate, going to be doing the same, but im scared of all the rattles etc when you put it back together LOL

It took me almost a year to get around to putting it all back in smileys/smiley17.gif

I may leave it all out this time!?

boz

14th February 2006, 04:44

go for it smileys/smiley2.gif
if my lass passes her test and we get another sax, mine will be doing the same smileys/smiley2.gif
thats the plan LOL

is your roll cage bolt in or weld in mate?

DevilDamo

14th February 2006, 04:45

Simo... Driveshaft. When are you going to speak to Dom!?! Hehe! Alternator. Do you have one? I've just bought one off Dom for a very good price smileys/smiley2.gif

Boz... I can't see why you can't leave your stuff while you're on track. If you get a bit worried about leaving it out in the open then I'm sure somebody wont mind them having yout stuff in their car until you get back. Plus, I'm sure there will be Sax-p spectators who would 'look after' it smileys/smiley2.gif

My plans before FCS are to have my car colour coded, which is happening while I'm away ski-ing (week commencing 27th march). I then want my rims mirror polised. I'm also wanting my exhaust raised and tailpipe taken back in. I definitely need to do something about the filthy engine bay smileys/smiley5.gif

Luke

14th February 2006, 04:46

I am going to spectating, so if anyone needs anything watching im here.

Simo

14th February 2006, 04:48

go for it smileys/smiley2.gif
if my lass passes her test and we get another sax, mine will be doing the same smileys/smiley2.gif
thats the plan LOL

is your roll cage bolt in or weld in mate?

Its weld in and bolt in mate...

Damo - I bought the alternator last year... I took it to TRAX incase it died on the way there or back. LMBO! © sax-p

Driveshaft - Ive spoken to Dom, just not sorted anything out yet smileys/smiley17.gif

boz

14th February 2006, 04:48

Damo - i trust you guys, just not other peeps LOL, last thing i would want is to drive all the way home with tyres that have been ragged all over on a track LOL
mirror polished rims smileys/smiley16.gif smileys/smiley2.gif
