Dnk Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Course it is mate, Chris even said if we can't find suitible examples of lowered/track/etc cars to look at on the ramps, yours would be a good one to show people as everything is brand new and 100% spot on. (Irrelevent now as we've alread got volunteer cars for each topic!) Anyway, do you want sticking on the list? Yes please Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longish drive from Sussex too. I could be up for this. Can bring my Nice Stock Suspensioned Supra TT along if its needed to. So are you guys in or do you want to leave it until a later date to decide? You dont have to come in a Supra BTW, just the 2 cars that are chosen to be examined/measured.

Homer Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I'd really like to attend this, but cannot commit just yet, too many other issues to fix on the car, but no time to do it Will be in touch in a month or so, if it can wait that long.

Sean1933 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Sorry i forgot to reply, had other things to sort out. Im in the same sort of position as Homer so will also be in touch. I assume this is a supra members thing as i have a friend who would love to come to this also if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 There isn't an immediate requirement/rush to sign up chaps, other than it's first come:first served, of course. Once all 20 places go, that's it. The limit is so everyone can get a good view and there is time for everyone to ask questions without rushing. If there are any places left, say 2 weeks before, feel free to bring friends. That's ample opportunity for club members to get their act together.

Chris did say he couuld stretch the numbers slightly if you & I were happy to take more of a back seat at the talk. We'll keep an eye on the bookings closer to the date.

SteveR Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 ok, no more volunteers for the 2 cars that will be usd in the examples, thanks. A reminder of what I'm on about: ... I am also looking for 2 volunteers to bring their Supras: Supra 1 will have the corner weights measured as part of the talk. The knowledge gained from this proceedure would most benefit a track enthusiast. Supra 2 will have it's basic geometry measured. The knowledge gained from this would best benefit someone who has aftermarket suspension but who hasn't had a geometry setup carried out. So if either of the above applies to you, step forward. AlexM volunteered to be Supra 1 (although you're on non-height adjustables Alex so wouldn't be able to act on the information you gain - are you sure you meant this option??) bignum and Pete have both volunteered to be Supra 2, leaving me with a decision to be made... Anyone got any wise method of deciding who gets the places or shall I flip a coin? I hate dissapointing people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 PS If anyone on the list can no longer make it, please let me know so the place is freed up for someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 yep please put be down for this steve, would be most intrested. can they corner weight a Golf LOL We going for omething to eat afterwards?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 AlexM volunteered to be Supra 1 (although you're on non-height adjustables Alex so wouldn't be able to act on the information you gain - are you sure you meant this option??) I don't have aftermarket suspension, so I definitely didn't mean option two! I can act on any information I gain in due course.. bignum and Pete have both volunteered to be Supra 2, leaving me with a decision to be made... Anyone got any wise method of deciding who gets the places or shall I flip a coin? I hate dissapointing people. Fight to the death? Bull dodging? Origami face-off? 100m sprint? GRiD racing championship? Possibilities are endless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) OK I've just spoken to C.G. and we're sorted. Alex - you car will be corner weighted. Bignum - your car will do the basic geo measurement. Pete - your car will be used to show what can be done to assess a geo setup by looking at: tyre wear sight lines pieces of equipment people might have at home Hopefully that will keep everyone happy and fulfil what info you're each after whilst also educating the rest of us as we witness it all. Alex - there is quite a bit of benefit from corner weighting your car (and also finding out it's total weight) so it's an ideal candidate actually, my mistake for thinking otherwise. All - Jayne is trying to sort out bacon butties for us (at a small cost) and after Mike's suggested it I might look into arranging a post-event pub meal; if noting else to make sure poor Chris & Jayne can go home and we don't stay there asking them quetions all night.
