Finally, a Northern meet thread.

EDIT : Also why are people still asking if this is still on and what date is it, yes it is still on and the date is on the front page :p


For some reason I thought it was yesterday! Hence why I said I couldn't make it, although this Saturday should be do-able. Should be good if the weather is like it has been this weekend! :cool:
 
Looking forward to meeting some new peeps from here. Met the MM regulars last year and was fun.

Anyone who wants a trip out in the CTR is welcome although a car full might mean we'll be pushing up hills and over speed bumps due to the negative torque disadvantage.

Is the Lion Inn the highest pub in the country?.... are you're bringing your V-Tec wizz bang Civic :p
 
I'm not coming. Too much stress from trying to switch jobs and it's exhausted me mentally :( Weekend will be spent playing xbox and eating pizza. Have fun lads and I hope to see you all at the next RR day :)
 
:D

It's all gone to plan so far but I've been silly and made myself ill. I'm not a fun guy when I've been up early, driven 250 miles in a Failesta and had a stressful week :p

Rest assured you will see the beast (or it's intended replacement) at the next RR day in August, when someone actually boots it ;)
 
Right am back, my daft stupid webspace earned me a break (someone hacked into it and stuck some malware on there :()

All sorted now though :D


In other good news, my mate (who's a workshop manager at jennings ford), has just secured me a quote to get the scrape from my front wing (courtesy of bad driver at my workplace), and the 3" key scratch which is down to the metal (courtesy of scum in Great Ayton :(), all for £300 :D, bad news though it won't be before the meet :(

Ahh, that's unlucky. Great Ayton is normally one of the nicer parts as well, from my own experiences anyway. I was there the other day for a nice evening out and a trip to Suggits of course :p

That respray quote actually sounds quite expensive to me?
 
So, how many have we officially got coming now? Amandas coming with me too, but don't worry shes not an annoying girly girl, she loves the VTEC y0 and actually packs a penis... I mean, shes down with the wicked and all that.
 
The good news is I've put a stock 172 exhaust on now so will be able to avoid the humilation that would have been the farting Magnex twin 3.5" heap.

I've got a Magnex twin slash back box on my car :D :(

It actually sounds pretty good though, not much louder than stock will you hit the back box then it screams. Not bumbling boom box like most.

Yea the thing is the one on my car was well and truly ****ed the baffles were pretty much blown out, it rasped like hell over 80MPH and it rattled, squeaked and crashed over my cross member. Oh and it wasn't hidden and twin 3.5" looks horrific on a car as small as a Clio.

Ah, fair enough! Mine was £50 second hand as my stock box was looking tired. 172s sound pretty good sock anyway don't they?
 
Yea it sounds a lot better imo and it feels a bit more responsive to drive and more rev free. The fitter commented how there was nothing left in the Magnex and that it would have been running fairly crap with that on due to no back pressure?

All you can hear is the BMC intake now which is enough for me right now.

Well halfords quoted me £380 for the scratch alone, then the wing has a slight dent on the crease too, plus the respray, it really isn't that expensive :)

Anyway, i'm going to have no access to a pc for the next 2 days as i'm away on business in Stockport and the blue shirt brigade have taken my laptop in because the charger is knackered :(. I'll be home on Friday evening and hope to speak to Tom / Peter then about meeting up. For everyone else, i'll see you at the pub at 11.30.
