That last bend is scary that's why lol, the combination of it rising so you can't see and knowing you're over the edge if you fcuk up made me do a little wee in my pants last year Big Grin


RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest report - Piggy - 02-08-2016

Haha...well said Matt.
I'd take it so differently if there was a barrier there


RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest report - Toms306 - 02-08-2016

I'd not noticed that corner on videos until this year... Did make me wonder how many go off there! Confused

in the briefing before you're allowed on the hill I believe she said that was the scariest corner, it certainly was for me, it's the last one and you're caught between wanting to nail it and an iccle tiny fear of total mangling or death pmsl Big Grin


RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest report - Piggy - 02-08-2016

She also states quite clearly the best line is stay wide.... IE aim for the horizon...
Day666 did take a trip down there this year I believe


RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest report - Frosty - 03-08-2016

Does look like the car pulls well tbf. Did look pretty quick on the day as well. Shame that you are selling it though, hope it goes to someone that will carry on using it how it should be used.

Thanks.

Would love someone i know/on forum to take it on


RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest report - bashbarnard - 03-08-2016

id love it to stay on forum, many people wouldnt know what to do with it otherwise and it would end up dead pretty quick

Yeah i think this could be the biggest issue, it NEEDS to go to someone who actually knows what they are getting.


RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest report - Piggy - 03-08-2016

Everyone chuck in a tenner and it can be the forum whore lol


RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest report - 1616six - 03-08-2016

RE: The Racetractor...Pugfest report - 1616six - 04-08-2016

Yep.

No matter how much stick we used to give each other, you've built a magnificent car & I'd trust your skills 100%.

I understand why you'd think that, however I think we've both put the 'Being a c-nut to eachother' stage behind us. I respect the work you've put into this & I think whoever does buy it will be getting a properly sorted car.

As I've said, if I had the money and could warrant a second car I'd be all over it I assure you!

Wow. Thanks man. ThumbsUp

If you are keen...I'm sure we can workout a payment plan lol


In other news...fixed the horn and at least narrowed down the heavy clunk. Steering rack related I think.

Got nice list of things to go through...wana get on.

I am not surprised piggy due to the age of the x06 range now,


RE: The Racetractor...Pre-Sale preperation - Piggy - 15-08-2016

Time to crack on with tidy up presale.

Suspension refresh time...

First, front end. Coilovers off. 

Need a clean up, grease up paint and got new 300lb springs to try as the 275s have always felt a little soft in coping with that 2.1.

Half way. Annoyingly MrsPiggy has chucked my crystals away so cant clean up the helper springs till tomorrow.

   
   


RE: The Racetractor...Pre-Sale preperation - dr_jekyll - 15-08-2016

Nice, what coilovers are you running? Looks like theyve done some years
