well i braved the weather today and did the 110 mile trip to Santa Pod

Was a really good turn out too considering the freezing weather and its only the 2nd rwyb of the year.

Managed to meet King Stromba and Jill from F7Power, nice ppl, was cool meeting you.
Was also cool catching up with Mad Pierre & Chunk again as well as meeting a few new faces from RSC.

some pics

Mad Pierre & Chunk

Craig from RSC and his 2.0 16V clio, fully stripped and running throttle bodies

Image

Image

Then we found this beaast, a Clio with its engine stolen from an Audi TT!

Image

with some 'small' mods

Image

plenty of Williams Clios about (spot the odd one out)

Image

For Sale:

Image

The owner of this ph1 16V Chamade wants £1000 for it

Image

Image

Image

Image

also on throttle bodies and no bonnet for strip action

Image

Craigs Clio on the strip, sadly to be his last run of the day . .

Image

during the run when he hit 3rd gear there was a judder and Craig felt there was something wrong, there was, the cambelt jumped a tooth and mashed his valves into the pistons
RAC recovery truck to get the car home and a engine rebuild to come Sad

Was a good day, well enjoyed myself Very Happy

i expect all the cars were freshly washed before they set off to the pod this morning, 100 odd miles of filth from the M25 and M1 then the A509 in wet icey conditions can make the car a little dirty Rog.

Mine was all bright and sparkly first thing this morning, now its home again it looks like it's never been washed from new lol

it was running 336bhp, and 12.1's iirc hes aiminmg for 11's this year. The reason it didnt run is its got a blocked oil gallery from the engine build.
