Hey Merlin,

Time Attack would be amazing! With the mods you have planned i think you might surprise yourself. I would definitely be up for helping out as pit crew, although my spanner skills are nil :roll: . Maybe i can sabotage the competition :lol:

Never watched the full vid from Knockhill but looked like you were keeping some pretty decent machines honest. Lude looks pretty competitive in the wet :twisted:

And as for the off at Knockhill, your translation of "gardening" sounds about right. It's either that or "gantin", which is a Glasgow word for "rubbish" :lol:

Cheers guys. Entrants get 3 pit lane passes for each round. Macky you could always be a pit board guy :D

My 5G is in the body shop next month for touch ups (no homo) but I'll get the 4G's bodywork sorted in October. Once the rust and paint is better then stickers :lol: I'll ask Ammo if he can sort me out with some big LudeGeneration stickers. Knowing that the rust has been treated and the car is solid I'll be prepared to invest in a welded cage.

Yeah Rob, thats the idea totally for fun as I doubt I'll be able to competing for the win. The car to beat is an M3, tough going in an N/A Prelude.

Yeah for now. I hope to get the H22a7 installed for the 2014 season. Then maybe turbo the H22a2 and move class :twisted:

For anyone who is interested here is the list of cars in the class intend to enter in:

http://www.timeattack.co.uk/2011/page.p ... =147&p=147

Scroll down to the Club Challenge N/A section. These are the whole season entrants, there are more who attend only single meets.
