I might not be able to make this now

My strange idling problem has developed into a stuttering during normal driving. Powerfiat looked at it a couple of weeks ago and couldn't find an issue but that was before this stuttering problem.

I think its probably best not to risk it. Trouble is I have now moved to Manchester so can't take it to any of the places I used to know to get it looked at.

I was really looking forward to this too

Fingers crossed the 5 day forecast on the BBC is good, rain till Saturday then dry on Sunday!

My coupes in the garage with no mot or tax and its blocked in by 4 dead cars so I'm going to bring something special along.

RS6 maybe.

Hi there!, I'll be there.

FishyDave mentioned this to me a couple of weeks ago so I'll be along to catch up with some old faces, and re-experience some Coupe action!!

Joe

Joe! Great to hear from you again. I won't be at Curborough but sure you'll enjoy yourself.

Now there's a blast from the past! Look forward to seeing you again Joe

As I told Porky yesterday I can't make this day - unavoidable domestics . I've already paid, so if the spaces aren't taken up by anyone else no problem. Have a good day guys,
Tim

Welcome back Doc

Ok you hooligans,
Do you think I'm going to yet you hoon around Curborough without me ?
I might have to disappear in the middle of the day for a couple of hours but... Count me in !!
Just make sure it chuffin RAINS so I can tip toe round in my own good time.


I will need to give someone cash on the day as I'm working out of town tomorrow.
Is that OK ?

Nice one Tim

See you there

Now your coming it better not rain, else I might not bother. You cheat when it rains

Ha Ha !
The sun gods may be on your side this time Steve.
But i'm going lightweight this time...I'm taking the front of the stereo and removing the ashtrays.

Oh yes and my new secret weapon.. my carbontech pads.
You will hear me coming when I brake for the roundabout just the other side of Lichfield !

Rain will be in my favour with 4wd for once.

Crap.... My rear discs have still not arrived. Not sure what to do, brake not binding but sticking. Could give it a go, or just come up and spectate in the rep mobile. Is there a convoy from down south on the way up?

Also not paid anything, could I pay up on the day or not?

If they're not sticking on the road, you may as well drive it up? It's only a short lap, so if you're replacing discs and pads anyway, I wouldn't worry about them overheating lots. They'll barely get warm.

Plenty of passenger rides I'm sure. John needs to be 4 up in the RS6 to slow him down anyway.

What time does it start tomorrow? I'm tinkering with the car today to see if I can fix it. I may still come down anyway but just watch or blag a few passenger rides.

Weather is looking... erm... like this:




Should make for interesting racing/watching.

It's the rear left that is getting stuck a little when pulling away from a standstill. Either a sticky calliper or warped disc...more apparent after putting in new pads....not sure what to do really.

Yup, looks like rain in the afternoon, everyone had best set their best times first thing. What time are people arriving? I'll be towing as I have to get the Caterham to North London afterwards (needs new rear panel after slow speed encounter with lorry).
Risk it Suba, the heat might loosen it up

It should be alright Suba should straighten out with some hard braking.

If everyone can get there for 9ish so we are ready to start at 10.

I'm in.....if in doubt thrash it. odds on me being easily the slowest when it rains are......

OK for me to pay in person?

Anyone know if there is a shell station near the track?

Yes - London road, Lichfield - WS14 9EQ

After several horror stories going through my mind I've decided not to take the RS6.
I have got it up for sale and if I snap the box its another 3k of repairs.

So I am going to bring along an underdog.
Petrol
5 cylinder
Turbo
240bhp
Not a Fiat.
1.8 tonnes.

Yes mate you can pay in person.

Corrected for you...

Why do RS6s have chocolate gearboxes? Surely they should be built to take a bit of abuse

There's a saying when owning one.
Have you replaced the box yet?

If no then it won't be long.

And the box original on mine so its on borrowed time.
I bought it thinking one day the box would go but I didn't anticipate the turbo letting go 20 miles after I bought it.

T5?

Great, thanks.

Anyone want to convoy up from SW London?
