I'd better check with the boss, but likely I'll be there. MattR and MattWhatsisname and others from the North-East area we should do a meet up (maybe at my place) and mini-cruise together.

what time are you guys going there? what time is the meeting?

I'll try to come with my mechanic (no not in my car :D ) if he's not working this weekend.

Dan, I was thinking maybe meeting at my place at about 11am or something - which will allow me to have my customary Saturday morning sleep-in, and will enable us to have a fashionably late entrance :) .... I'm open to suggestions though!

Great post Matt, to get a reaction out of me btw :) .... 9am on a Saturday muahahahahahahaha

sounds good Nightcrawler....yeah 9am is pushing it a tad cheeky Matt :)

can I have your address nightcrawler?

It would be good if you could come busky. It's been a while since I saw you guys :)

How are your exams going? When do they finish?

if you're gonna come wake me up at some ungodly hour, you'd better make sure you bring Maccas brekkie or a dozen egss, 1kg of bacon and a loaf of bread, for bacon & eggs on the barbie (like last time :D ) .... hey, why don't we do a brekkie at my place before the dyno day for interested people?!

Am I allowed to enter an XR8?

I have nothing to do with the organisation of this dyno day, and unfortunately won't be able to attend :D - but I don't see why you shouldn't be allowed to bring your bog stock standard BA XR8 :)

I'm happy to cook the barbie, no-one died last time, so I must be ok at it.

BBQ brekkie at your place it is then.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
