Ok then, after seeing enough interest across the forums, we are going ahead with this meet and have now set a date!

DATE / TIME -

Sunday 15th April 2012 - 4pm arrival for a 5pm start on the track.

LOCATION -

Mr Karting Ltd

Unit 2 The Hangars

Harbury Lane

Bishops Tachbrook

Leamington Spa

Warwickshire

CV33 9SA

As mentioned in the other thread, this will be a multi-forum meet, hopefully with MeganeSport, ClioSport, CivicLife and 206Info. It's a bit of a random mix I know but that's the main forums myself and Dom (the other lad organising this) frequently use! If any of you want to post this up on any other forums then feel free, it would be good to see a wide variety of motors turn up on the day

2 x 15 minute sessions on the track for just £20 per person. Maximum of 8 on track at any one time, so bring your friends/family along and let's make this a good turnout! Minimum age is 8yrs and minimum height is 1.32m so feel free to bring along any younger members of the family too, everyone's welcome to race on the track

There will be a winners trophy for the overall fastest driver of the evening and there will also be trophies for the best car from each forum. Judging will take place at around 5.30pm so don't be late and make sure your cars are looking spotless

The car park is huge, and there are no speedbumps so you low ballers don't have to worry either! The place is nice and easy to find, about 5-10mins off J14 of the M40

Let's get a list going -

Any questions, post them up in the thread or PM me! Website for the track is www.mrkarting.co.uk if anyone wants to take a look

1992 Toyota Carina II 1.6 XLi... No shit!

Bought it for £60 and drove it from February to June last year until it shat a rod out the sump at about 90mph going down the A46 looooooool! Never ever had so much fun in a car!!

Because it cost fuck all I never cared about it.. I used to take it off roading, drove it flat out absolutely everywhere like I'd stolen it and would drive it through bushes, ramp up embankments, take out those yellow plastic bollards for fun... honestly it was brilliant! My mate had an equally shit 306 and we used to just ram each other all the time, do the pit maneuver on roundabouts!

Had 184k miles when it died and I bought it on 175k! Had no rev limiter and no exhaust past the down pipe, used to take it off the rev gauge all the time it used to bang and pop like it had antilag looool! Best car I've ever owned without doubt, it took so much shit!

...Thats such an essay lol! The shittest cars are always the best. FACT!

EDIT - Video I took a few days before it died... no surprise really!

Indoor and the karts are Biz JK2 single engine 160cc

EJ9 orginally! Far from that now lol

200bhp starlet, is that the white one with the green cage?

If so, I cant help but think that is such a pointless car! I can appreciate all of the work and yes it must be an absolute animal and a proper hoot to drive BUT...

He left it FWD. All that effort and money he might as well of spent that little bit extra and utilizied the 4WD system.

Now that would of been a proper supercar killer! The thing weighs about the same as a prawn cracker, it must just spin the wheels constantly!

Make the journey guys! It's already looking to get quite big!

Got 5 or 6 people on CivicLife who seem quite keen, and same again on 206Info and its only been 2hrs so far

DATE NOW SET, SEE THREAD LINK AT BOTTOM OF PAGE

Right then guys, me and my best mate Dom both work at Mr Karting in Leamington Spa and have come up with an idea for a karting meet/tournament kind of thing?

We are both active members on quite a few forums, and were thinking of making this into a multi-forum event... so there should be some serious rivalry lol and a good chance to test your driving skills against other petrolheads! It has the potential to be a massive turnout and the location is IMO a good spot for photographs as we share the site with a storage firm and a scrapyard so there is loads of opportunities to take some quality shots!

We're going to post this on the following sites and see what interest we get, and whether people would actually be up for taking part! -

UKSC

CivicLife

MeganeSport

ClioSport

206Info

+ a few local forums possibly as well.

Looking at arranging it for some point in April (probably on a Sunday afternoon/early evening).

Price would be £20 per head for 2 x 15minute sessions on the track. Each driver would get a printout after each session with all their lap times on, average lap and fastest lap too!

Address is as follows, the site is about 5 minutes off the M40 -

Mr Karting Ltd

Unit 2 The Hangars

Harbury Lane

Leamington Spa

Warwickshire

CV33 9SA

I appreciate there isn't a great deal of members really local to me - HOWEVER, it is an ideal location as Leamington is pretty much slap bang in the middle from Coventry, Oxford, Birmingham, Northampton, Leicester, Banbury, Milton Keynes... so all within close enough distance and with the other clubs potentially coming as well it has the potential to become a huge turnout, would be a good laugh and well worth the journey!

So who would be up for this? And any other suggestions to make?

If there is plenty of interest then I will set up a proper meet thread and get it all arranged with a date and confirm prices

Cheers guys

Luke I will take you out in it at some point this year!!

A38 probably, once it's actually back up and running and the Police have left everyone to it lol

I have fingers like the OP on my left hand, but only three of them!

My little finger is bent round slightly still, the scarring is savage! Trapped them in a massive victorian oak door hinge when I was ten!

They were squashed flat down to the first knuckle (the one about 2cm away from the tip of your finger), probably to around the size of a £1 coin!!!

Many more to come this year guys!

UPDATE!

Busy afternoon, managed to soak myself as well whilst washing it... Hose was frozen solid so had to throw buckets of water on the car instead... slipped and emptied the whole cunting thing on top of myself! GOOD EFFORT!

Decided it didn't want to start, even though I'd whacked a new battery on it last month. So out came Freddy the Fourtrak to the rescue with the jump leads! Then got it on the drive, decided to de-tint it first and remove my Skunk2 stickers to replace for some CivicLife ones!

Freddy hiding in the background

Then fitted my new rocker cover... looks shit hot, just need to finish off the rest of the bay! And decided I want a new manifold and downpipe from Solid-Fab or RaceTech as mine looks shit. Just need to decide which one is closer and which I'd prefer as both do some amazing fabrication work! Swaying towards Solid Fab atm, but I think it is further for me to travel

Then whacked a sticker on the back window just for lolz

Then she had a bath

Then took it for a quick drive round the village to dry off followed by a quick rub down with the microfibres

Looks weird without the front lip, need to reattach it asap!

Cheers guys

Hopefully next years plans take shape!

Well thats up for some debate, I think it just depends on how lucky you are with the engine!

This one was built up by Daz @ DNR. It was fully checked over before running boost and had a new oil pump, water pump, cambelt and head gasket before fitment into his own EK.

It was ran at various different pressures; he told me that this engine ran for almost a year at 10psi without any hassle whatsoever, and that produced around 275bhp loool

IIRC he said he managed to get well over 300bhp (331 I think!) on one of his old D16 engines a few years back, at around 15psi... But it lasted about a month until the inevitable happened. Strong little engines!

So running mine at 7psi will be plenty reliable I should imagine

why on earth did you go d16 turbo over b16 or b18 turbo?

Because a D16 costs about £100 whereas a B16/18 costs like £600+

The little D16s are as strong as an ox tbh!

Plus I got offered the whole package in a straight swap for my blown H22 set up.

Just had to pay the labour to swap them, so it was a bit of a no brainer I think you'll agree?

As per my last post, the new engine is now in!

Running 7psi on the new engine, estimated at between 240-250bhp Will be getting it verified on a dyno next year once the 3" downpipe has been fitted

And needless to say I'm loving it! So much quicker than before, good for about 150mph, has 2-step fitted as well as a screamer pipe so as you can imagine it's erm quite loud!

Few pics and a cheeky vid! More vids to come next year along with (MAYBE!) a full respray, bay shave/tuck/spray and yet more chassis refreshing... Watch this space

Ive gone as far as SORNing my Civic EK Turbo for the winter... 250bhp + Ice dont mix well! Bad enough in the rain lol
