Hi i have spoke to ralph and dean about traxx car show. ralph says that they never have a stand there. i have been many times before but been on sidc stand. I thought it would be good to have our own stand there this year. the event is on at silverstone on the 6th of september. here is a link to the site. http://www.traxshows.co.uk/

so who on here is up for going. i have contacted silverstone and there is room for a stand. according to the booking form. It says its 13 per ticket. i will have to check this includes the car pass. but i would say it does.
leave a list on here if your interested in going., so we can then maybe sort a stand out.

Dean you can send a postal order if you want.

Alright nathan. Yes mate you can drop it off. I used to have
a evo 6 dark blue. My car will be on the drive anyway.can't use it at the minute. The kw suspension has gone on the rear. Need to source some
good second hand coilover suspension asap. Getting the shakes to take it
for a blast .lol

down. So should be good convoy.

One of the blokes has a Silvia and the other has a Pulsar......apparently the silvia is running 500hp.....on standard ecu with a turbo from a skyline...:loll:

The Pulsar however looks like a nice bit of kit....and is a limited edition "Gravel spec" car

Yeh they can still get tickets. Just the tickets for the stands, that ends on the 6th.

That sylvia will ne quick then. But 500 is slot to try and put down for a 0-60 sprint. Trying to get traction. Is yours a v- limited like mine? What power mods you got?

Yes a limited like yours.......had a fair bit of work on it, ie Autronics,Gt30 hybrid,front mount etc....

Should have the Syms headers and final remapping completed by end of month so will hopefully be running 2.0 bar and well into the 400hp bracket.
And finally have booked in for cage install so will be running a little bit more weight but reckon sub 4 secs 0-60mph on the R888...:D

Are you staying over on the saturday night or travelling down in the morning Paul..???

What a quality day.....:bow

The day went well from the start, with the sneeking in from the fast lane of dual carriage way behind Roger Clarkes lorry..

Shame we didnt get to talk much as the event was huge......didnt bump into any of you guys till the end.

Very pleased with the 0-60 dash time...and if it hadnt been for the portion of chips i could have shaved a bit more off :loll: The second run of 4.09 was a clue i was not going to better the first run of 3.59.

Andy Gallagher won the 4wd class with 2.61 or something close :bow

Not sure about any of the other times in my class.

Would love a copy of the pic Nathan:cheers:
