would be a good experiment hey? Lets see what response you get from them. would be interesting.

Exactly... ...Here are a group doing the right thing by keeping it on the track and then they're told they can't... ...And I bet it is the ones that have moved in within the last 10 years...

What pisses me off more is that I was told I had to wait until Jan to get my roster at work changed so I could go to this... ...And I got told today that the change went through... ...GRR!!!... ...:P...

Youhorn? damn, they must have had a rough time at school! :)

Youhorn! Rofl. I did a Friday night last Friday. TG! What a bummer as it was fan-fanny-tastic. What a bunch of complaining bastards....Honestly, it's a race-friggin-track.

OK kids - I'm as bummed as anyone about this.

Hell, my Atom is at Sandown waiting to be used (by me and Snowy :P )

BUT...

There is more to this than the usual 'residents complain about noise' issue.

There are politics involved everywhere and Kev has done what he can to help... but it really is out of our, and his, hands.

That said - doing or saying anything more really wont help the cause.

PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW UP ON ANY RESIDENT OR COUNCIL COMMUNICATION

This is all in hand through the relevant agencies

Kev is trying to get these events back, but to do this he needs support not vigilantism.

Leave it alone now - PM me if you want specifics as to why - and we may see these evenings back again in the new year.

Failing that - Kev has a few new events planned to benefit us all.

Hang in there, keep it all in your pants, and wait for 2009.

Yes, people suck and take away our fun - but we'll get our day in the sun.

that Youhorn chick is newly elected mayor, might have something to do with it? she's not a bad looker either

anyway, the residents there make complaints every year about easternats, which is only 3 days out of the year, run during the day time only, you think they werent gonna be worried abour running regular fridya nights? lol, no offence, but wtf were you expecting?

I work at the sandown park hotel across the road (some of you might have seen my skyline parked there)

Anyway there is a massive parking area made of gravel there where alot of truckies used to park their trucks to sleep at night ect.

My boss got complaints from residents whinging about trucks starting their engines at night time so the council got involved and we had to chain the area off and put a big sign up saying no trucks.

Very temperamental this mob is.

I hate this C@#$ this kinda thing happend to me when i was working at doncastor SAAB.

all the guys there plus the body shop and about 6 work shops in total used the surounding area to park there cars inc the main street that ran behind the work shop were u ented. any way we could park there all day. Untill a reserdent complaind that we parked there all day. So the council put in 2 hour limit with out telling. :P and then the reserdent keep complaing and giveing regos to poilce and the council. so every day we had parking inspectors come.

but after a few chats they were quite nice and just maid there presnce none so we could all move our cars and inch (thats all that was req) and keept us out of trouble.

and oh yea the limit only applies during working hours and the spaces were also used to park customers cars.

so kev i hope you get your fri day night sessions back mate i loved the day ones i did with you. and it benifits the motoring comunity.

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
