320touring Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 Nah, I reckon you'll be changing the clutch and dmf before the gearbox mate.the Dmf is an engineering solution to a question nae one ever asked! waste of effing time in every car I've had with one.

explosive-cabbage Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I'm not worrying. I have more of those gearboxes than a centipede could trip over.

320touring Posted July 20, 2015 Author Posted July 20, 2015 I shall set an remindists on my phone to call these good people re it at luncheon today
cms206 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 But I thought you were longer than that car was tall? An experiment was carried out... with the front seats pushed into their most forward position and the headrests removed, the front seat backs will actually fold back level with the rear seat base (in the 3-doors anyway) - a bit of fine tuning should see a 6-footer like me able to lie completely flat without having to remove any seats.

320touring Posted July 20, 2015 Author Posted July 20, 2015 Just spoken to the raceway- we can arrive and camp after 6pm on the Fi 18th (£5 per person) Admissionbto the event is £15 on Sat the Run What You Brung is £30 and they are able to set us up an autoshite class so we can race against each other. number of runs depends on how many atendees are at the even overall. fastest time of the day gets a trophy. so initial thought for me is turn up fri, camp then run sat and up the road. what do folks think? cheers chaseracer and KruJoe 2
320touring Posted July 20, 2015 Author Posted July 20, 2015 This sounds ace!cheers!hope it turns oot alright:)
JohnK Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I wonder how well a Toledo 1300* would go round the track... *Presuming it doesn't explode within 10 seconds of high intensity driving.
JohnK Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 That sounds even worse for the Toledo tbh...It's currently struggling to go in a straight line! skattrd 1

The boy I spoke to said " do you mean stuff like cavaliers/montegos when you say Autoshite?" I think we'll be welcome:) chaseracer and JohnK 2

scaryoldcortina Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 You know what? This sounds kinda fun, and nowhere near as far/expensive as Santa Pod. Count me in, especially for the beer and camping bit. I'll be bringing the missus and a late-teen lout with me. No idea what car though. TBC is probably the best thing I could say here, could be K series, could be cosworth, I dunno yet. See what hasn't exploded by september I reckon.

320touring Posted August 2, 2015 Author Posted August 2, 2015 If camping allowed in your car then I may bring beerz and camp in the back of the car as it's estate it's all good .... For £50 squids I aint complaining for the day out!Wonder if anyone else had thrown a xantia down a drag strip???You may want to give them a call and check, but I cant see any issue. well worth running the xantia!
320touring Posted August 3, 2015 Author Posted August 3, 2015 the octavia managed a 16.832 @81mph yesterday.. reckon any of you attending the GLF meet could beat that? davidfowler2000 1
320touring Posted August 3, 2015 Author Posted August 3, 2015 Depends on what the Octavia happens to be exactlyjust a 1.9tdi alh lump on stock turbo/manifold and injectors but there may be some suspension work before I head down
