what have you done to your car today ?

[BadBoy03]

Just to add into this, happy to help as well.

Some suggestions

MSVT Track days are great fun for those that want to get a bit of track time for their motors but at the same time lots of other people are allowed (for free) to come along to the tracks (just to watch), its not cheap to go out on the track but a lot of fun.

I have spoken to the track companies in the past and if numbers are big enough (to use the track) they will organise and control a day for you

Check out https://car.msvtrackdays.com/Calendar?utm_medium=menu for what is available but locations are Cadwell (lots of space for people to bring there motors, Bedford (they have space for motors but not next to the track), Donnington Park (very large car park), oulton park etc etc

They have other tracks like Snetterton (big car park but its to the side of the country rather than in the middle).

Then you have meets like coffe and cars (in lots of different locations) and there are loads of car meets you could join in with.

Personally I would suggest we see how many people are interested in meeting in the (midlands) area first and then get some idea of what month people would be free (I am guessing on the weekend (as I am retired)). You can then either join one of the other events or just find a nice place with a Pub/Hotel that would be happy to let us hold a meet up (this is what we did back in the day), last time I got involved in this we booked the pub for lunch and they were happy we used the car park.

I do remember a good few years back, scn were invited to a meet at a SEAT dealership somewhere. I really wanted to go but young kids & dawg etc. They'd really gone to town, providing a ramped access for lowered cars & BBQ/bar/camping. There seemed to be so many mk1's back then, makes me sad.

I think the easiest venues to book are the coffee and cars ones e.g. caffeine and machine. It’s easy to suggest a date and let people buy their tickets.

Track day meet up sounds good too. Would love to take the car out on track but I think I’m too precious about it and cost conscious. I’d be happy to turn up and socialise/spectate.

So page #1000 of posts. Don't we get a reward or something?

Sad person that I am, I was thinking about this the other day and whether we'd got to that milestone. Tapatalk doesn't have pages, which is how I tend to visit SCN, so I had no idea until you posted.

I agree. Too much to organise can end up being a logistical nightmare.

Drove to Newhaven on Friday and didn't get more than 100m before the engine died on me. It'd been sat for a week and not moved, and have had a few times when the engine felt choked but got better after a bit of a rev. Put it in second and revved it a bit going up the hill, but it just died - no spluttering or anything, it was just like it had stalled.

Going to do my usual cleaning of the injectors when I do a service and replace the fuel filter, but they've always been fine. One of those things that's happened a few times before but not enough for me to worry about it.

Leon life...

wee mod to the side indicators, not bad for 12 quid

You have to remove the old bulb connectors for them to fit right? I did replace mine with oem ones but ordered clear versions of these lol

 

[ExiledWeegie]

they come with a little wire and connector on the end and you slot it into where the bulb used to go

I had these on mine a couple of years back but it annoyed me that they stick out too much. Swapped them out for smoked black original style
