Nice meeting you mate ^^

What an awesome night!!!

My one and only complaint is that we should have started at like 9am. I could have listened to Jim and Alan speak all day.

And having the current owners of the cars there as well made it that much better.

By far one of my favourite SAU events.

Best part - it was extremely well organised and ran like clock work.

Thanks to all that organised the night.

good effort organisers, ran perfect. A very massive achievement considering it's the first kind of it's event the club has held. very impressive.

the whole night was excellent, catching up with people, checking out the cars, hearing stories from the good old days. top job!

It's amazing what you club execs can pull together these days! A far cry from the old days where organising a bunch of cars to meet in a carpark at a set time was difficult haha

the cut off for the Calendar's first print run is this afternoon. All orders currently in, or that are placed before 6pm today will be printed tomorrow and sent out over the through the week. if your interested best to check the calendar thread for payment and postage details :)

p.s. Who wants to help me steal that group c bluebird? ;) haha

:thumbsup: You guys can give yourselves a pat on the back because...

As I was trying to listen to a conversation between Eric and Duncan, I couldn't help but overhear Jim saying to Alan, "This is a great bunch of guys!"

So that to me my friends, was the 'cherry on the cake'!

PS A Request:-

If you really enjoyed your food on the night, would you like to to help the Trackside Restaurant's "Eatability" Rating by logging onto the "Eatability" site and register what you liked about the place!

Fantastic night!!! I'm so proud of the club when they put on amazing events like this... as Matboy said we've come a long way. Couldn't have done it without the tireless efforts of Terry & co behind the scenes (I'm not going to thank everyone lol).

Loved Jim and Alan's stories, and Jim really is SUCH a nice guy... got an awesome photo with him that I might just have to frame hehe. But he was so happy to sign/chat/etc with anyone and had a big smile on his face all night.

My pics are here if anyone wants a looksy!

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
