Preparation Fighting Torque

[R8nan]

Well not long to go now until the big event and was wondering what everyone has done in preparation for Fighting Torque.

I'll start

- New set of brake disks (the thought of the end of the runway )
- Service

Just a wash and polish now and thats me ready

[touching cloth]

Er, well I took it out for an italian tune up this morning

For all those with adjustable dampers, look at maybe softening up the rear and dropping the rear tyre pressures a bit. The surface ain't like at the Pod - so you'll need to get the power down to get an early start - for some cars you'll be up against, you gonna need every inch!!!

Lucky for me, I can drop the rear bump settings and drop the front rebound too, which should give the car good bite on launch - too firm at you'll light the tyres up (which admittedly will look good on HD DVD!)

Not planning to do much on the car, but I am up to number 10 on my list of excuses

I'm gonna have to pull out, my car is pooped, the engine needs to come out and have the liners replaced,

Passed its MOT today (first one for nearly two years) so thats a possitive start to getting it back on the road. cutting it very very fine for making it on the day though

My preparation involves getting totally wasted on alcahol - I am not going as I am running the engine back in, so rather than sit around moping, I am going to erase all memory of the event at the local.

Mind you, have hit high reves a few times recently and not lost a drop of oil... mmm... I wonder???
