It is expected that Olly & Matt will be there to show us around the various projects and of course the ledgendary 'GobStopper'.

Anyone meet anywhere for the journey up there?

Would like to do this trip but cant justify,

346 miles round trip and near on 2 tanks of fuel, :nono::nono:

Two tanks? You got a hole in yours? Mine will do 500 miles on two tanks at motorway speeds

Worzel and myself used just under a tank full each on our last journey and that was for the whole trip:ok:

Well worth it too:mrgreen:

Big E ......... shut up you tart and stick ya name darn on the list ;)

You have seen how he drives! Need I say more? :rally:

I'm sure there'll be a bit of an opportunity for some car sharing :nod:

Picture taken as we pulled up at RCM this morning.

Ian, you are more than welcome to jump in with me .

update

We have just (we are here at the moment:cool:so straight off the press) negotiated a 10% discount on any purchases made on the day:cool:

Should/ will be a great day for all:10:

Better save some money for the trip ;)


Oh and Martyn i use more Fuel getting to the pod than that.... Did he go over 2000rpm at all

A steady 80 all the way apart from the 50 zone on the M1 :drive:

Fantastic news. I would LOVE to get my exhaust done there, but will have to see on funds and no doubt they will need some notice. Also, its how safe it is to drive back without the map being tweaked to allow for the decat etc...

Olly will honour all Purchases and bookings for work taken on the day:cool: so if you purchase exhaust on the day and book in for fitting and mapping, your discount will be honoured:cool:

Group buy on 6 Speed Sequential gear box anyone ??? :)

Cool, thank you for that mate. :doubleup:

Thank you very much for the offer,

my other half has just informed me that the 10th is the same day as her works do..

I doubt very much if we will be back in time

Thanks again Lucky. :five:

No worries ian, if it changes, the offer is there.

Wouldn't mind coming along to this if you don't mind a vauxhall convoying up with you :drive:

I'm hoping that my P1 will be ready for this day.

If so, is there anyone I could jump in with chaps ?

I can come and pick you up Clive :)

Nice one James :ok:

I wanna come as well:)

Where do you live mate ?

Hoping to do this one - need to check funds closer to the date though as it's a hell of a way from the coast!

Any chance they'll have time to do a compression/leak down test?

Just been on the phone with Olly Clark and they are aiming to have my P1 ready for collection on 10th Dec :)

bet your be glad to have it back , what you been driving ?:ok:

Brilliant news mate :10:

I bet you can't wait to get the old girl back.

You have PM :ok:

CJ / Worzel

Yes I will be very glad to get the thing back :)

I've either been driving Hev's Audi or one of the work vans.

A member of the P1Woc even offered to lend me his RA until mine is finished.
The cool thing about that offer is that I have never met the guy ! lol.

Good news Clive!

Should I contact them re. possibility of a leak down test on the day or are you guys in touch anyway?

leak down test ??

Excellent stuff Clive, bet you can't wait.
Will be nice to see the beast back out there.

Nick
Are you talking coolent pressure test .

Yep, I can't wait Martin :)

My right food needs to cause some action :(

Nope leak down - kind of a reverse compression test, air is pumped into the bores via the spark plug hole and then the time it takes to leak out recorded, you also get an indication of where it's going (listen for it coming out) so you get an idea of what's buggered! e.g. if it comes out the intake it's the inlet valves, exhaust is exhaust valves and crank breather is piston related.

Huh, I understand what you are saying now :. .. I know what a leak down test is but that was done 2 months ago and the new engine is well on it's way and in hand.

The compression test revealed a - 90% on one chamber so pistons, rods, valves and other bit are being replaced (all the same as their own GS1 apart from my Omega pistons are slightly different to their Omega's as I dont run race fuel.

New crank is required as trust bearing was showing wear.

It will be 2.2 Ltr instead of the 2.0 it was before :)

Sorry Clive, crossed wires, was thinking of getting them to do one on mine to look at the issues with the oil leak!

LOL ....... crossed wires this end too mate :)

I'll see if I can get this off and come down as long as I can convoy down in the French hot hatch

You just make sure you work that day Dude ! (French Hatch) ;)

LOL did you need picking up mate

Don't think my P1 will be finished for this day fellas :(

Spoke with MC yesterday I was shocked to find out the block isn't back yet :(.

Oh that's a bummer Clive.

With all the money you have spent and are spending,

I would have thought they should be bending over backwards to get things sorted for you mate.:nod:

There's still a week to go !

They will be , but they won't rush it

Can you stick my name down to go as well

It'll be worth the wait the mate.

Good news. Bits and pieces have turned up at RCM and Matt is on the case :)

Spot on
Fingers crossed mate

Excited again now :)

I've really missed the P1 this time. More so than other times for some reason.

Like Martyn said, fingers crossed mate :ok:

Does this mean i only have to put up with you one way :D

LOL maybe.

Now also posted on SurreyScoobies, (Many thanks Guy B:thanx: ), for anyone who fancies tagging along that hasn't been on SES:cool:

may come along if funds allow :-D looks an awesome place

It is that matey :ok:

And with 10% off everything, it's well worth the trip if you have plans for the scoob :nod:

im hoping to make it and can't see why i shouldn't be able to.
Got so many plans it just saving up the pennies to carry them out

Just a question, and not holding anyone to anything, but roughly what time do you guys reckon we will leave RCM in the afternoon?. Just so I can make plans or not as the case may be for the evening.

Cheers.

Oh, and I suppose while we are at it, what time and where are we meeting in the morning?

Steve

We are meant to be there from about 10.00am - 3.00pm.

But we can dip out a little bit earlier if we need to?

When I go to RCM it's the ONLY time I never tell my Mrs what time I expect to arrive back home :)
I have often left RCM's in the dark.

I arrived at their old place at 1.15am one night lol ......... bless 'em. Olly & Matt were still up as they knew I was on the way (my map sensor went at Silverstone).

I turned up with a mate and Olly had already sorted & paid for hotel, breakfast and P1 was ready at 10.30 the following morning.

Top fella

That sums up what an awsome outfit they are.
Briliant

No, thats fine Steve. I want to make a full day of it and I was figuring I would be back by 7.30 ish which looks likely, so will book the curry house!!! lol.

You will be back for 7.30 mate :ok:

Cool. Vinda'wheres the' looooooooooooooo here i come. :lol:

I'm going to RCM on the 10th even though Claire's booked the works dinner (she's organised it this year) for the same day:hbags:

Should be home in time, if not, I've still had a good day:lol: and I'll see her when She gets home:getmecoat:

That would be a bonus in my books.:yeah:

I really hope you're back in time otherwise you're going to be in SO much trouble after that post

The P1 engine is well on it's way now :)

Hear are the heads, block and the new RCM Omega pistons.

They are flat out with the thing and it will be great if it's ready on the 10th.

I really hope it's done as that will mean I don't have to sit next to James for another 2.5 hours home bound. His animal impressions are extremely good and but after 2 hours of listening to elephants, chimpanzees & the rest of Africa's fooking residents, my ears have had enough and I don't know what month I'm in.

Ive added more countries animals to my impressions list now Clive... So your be fine :D

Can you squeeze another one in?

PS - How did Fudge become a Mod ?? :-o

Holy cow Clive thats well clean...will be good to see on the rollers next week?:whistle:
