Just was putting the Sprinter on the trailer , when I notice a funny ( ha ha !!!!! ) noise from the engine bay . Checked a few of the obvious things --- nothing identified , but it was a noise that was only going to end in tears . Took the fan belt off and noise is no more . BLOODY WATER PUMP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. So have some tea , get my son's project AE86 out of garage and the fun begins . Son's engine has a new water pump so .................. , he wont notice he's out partying. Hope it all comes together and I make it tomorrow ??????? .
Also if I do all this work and the WORLD ENDS TONIGHT ----- JEEZ I AM GOING TO BE PISSED.

I think I am getting to old for this shit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BLIPAE86]

You'll make it and that's all shit about the world ending hahaha

Big congratulations to Joe and Bob on their personal bests today at the Hill Climb, 49.7!! Great stuff guys.

[maxhag]

Yeah Sloth, we had a great day. Bob can happily retire now..... lol
I am getting much more feeling with both the car and track, and I know both me and the car have alot more to give and new targets have been set. It might be aiming a bit high, but my target now, is, well, the class record, 47.56sec. Not saying I will be there soon, but thats just my new target/aim. 2 sec is a huge amount when you start reaching these times, but I am gonna give a bloody good go at it.......

Hey look Toddski is on this forum too!!

47.56 is FAST! Would love to see the sprinter in 47s, but I reckon it'll require more power, new soft tyres and a shtload of track time to get there! My (eventual goal is a similar time, but breaking the car every time i drive it doesn't help lol) At this stage I'll be happy with a 48.9!

[toddski]

Yep - AE86 people have cooler wheels. Plus I need to know what Joe is up to...

That's a good goal - but it is an indecently quick time. I know a little about the car that holds that record (and may even have some parts from it) and know the driver - both were f**king good. That said, I reckon you've got a good chance with more seat time on the track - but you'll also have to build the car just to take the record.

Man, I'm going to have to grow some balls to keep up...

I don't know about retiring , but now that the magic 49 barrier has been broken , might spend money and time getting the other two Sprinters rebuilt and on the road. Going on the tyre wear from my dunlop softs yesterday I would say to maintain costent 49's in a n/a Sprinter with 100 RWKW would reqiure 3 sets of tyres for nine rounds. A lot of money to committe (which I do not have ) donations to ............ , plus the lines I took yesterday requied 100% plus committment , millmetres either way and well ....&%#@$$$$$$$$ . Maybe a bit more left in my car but not much more left in me . ( except if I loose 40 kg plus ---- not going to happan --- not that dedicated.) Might save the tires for warm sunny days. And just run my old Federals over winter and wet days . But I was well chuffed with the time, and so happy to finally put together a spot on lap. Made the late night water pump swap well worth will. Congrats to MAXTAG ----- I think , more faster times to come , soft tyres and a warm track and that record watch out. I have fogotten his name ( old timers disease ) but the other chap in the other AE86 TURBO did well for his first time out , didn,t go silly , drove within himself and started to learn the track. Also Tyrie put in some great times in the Shopping Micra , as well as some impressive burnouts.
Also might see if I can fix up the ex drift pig ( parts car ) to do a Khanacross in July , So that the old warrior can go out in style before it meets the crusher. ( that's the car guys not me !!!!!!!) On to the next event !!!!!!!!!!
