I'll be there
Go annoy some 1 else!!!
dont think i will be able to come now cos both my front calipers are knackered and im not likely to be able to replace them between now and then. I know of somewhere that has some but i wont be able to get them cos im working all day tomorrow and i dont think they'll be open on sunday morning
Oh dear
You rearly shouldn't plan on coming to these meets. It's bad luck.
I know im gutted.
I shouldnt have said this really
A week to go.
I just hope nothing goes wrong with the Cally between now and then.
I'd offer to come and pick you up mate, but I'm going straight from my Nans in Weston, sorry
Dan
Its alright. Thanks for the thought anyway. I might be able to make it but it all depends on whether Vaux Plus are open on sunday morning, whether they have suitable calipers and whether i can get it sorted in time.
so how'd it go then? Any pics?
Well it was quite a good turn out 12 people (13 with Nova X's little un) and a 8 cars i think, though I was in the old dears again due to absence of metal in the sill dept, I vow to attend the next in my own car.
Freak had a camera on his phone though I don't think he took any of the cars, too cold, wet and raining. A couple of rides were partaken in a couple of cav turbos, AndyK (imminent new turbo and Phase 3, stop denying it ) took me out for a blast which was good.
I also learn't something about AFM and different ECU's on GTE 16v vs GSi's, which was nice.

gutted
next time kidda, how did/are you getting on with those calipers. If I were you and if you've got a bit of time I would rebuild the ones you have as its dead easy, seals are cheap and you know they are done right and will last for years then. I did it on both my nova and my astra, complete with a fluid change on the straaa lead to better braking and more confidence from me. Is everything else fixed now?

No I didn't
You know how lazy I am. I would be surprised if I had one this time next year.
After Dan's comments yesterday i pressure tested the boost pipes inside the car. No leaks.
I did the dump valve pipes and FPR pipes as well. Ok.
It must be the standard dump valve or a gasket somewhere.
I want to take the turbo and maybe inlet off sometime
As I pointed out yesturday, I am no where near an expert with turbo's, infact my turbo opinions are somewhere near worthless. Did sound more in cabin that I would have expected but thats means nothing, was plenty quick enough anywayOriginally posted by Andy K

It was worth a go cus in Pete's you don't hear all that air rushing around/leaking.
And I'm sure mine never used to do it.
The calipers aint in that good condition. Im hopefully gonna be buying a set of calipers, disc's and pads off RDS so that should sort me probs.Originally posted by super__dan
