I'll be there albeit not in a Porker.

I do have big reds on my tow car though - does that help?

Red Baron ready, Dom's still looking for his passport in order to come Oop North twice in twelve months!

[domster]

I am working on both the passport and Baron situations. None have been resolved yet ( ) so watch this space.

[okey]

guys are there still places left, also is there a noise limit on the day. ?

[clubsport]

Dom that is scandalous that your techie has still got the car, why don't you just go and collect the car on a trailer and take it somewhere far more reputable.

If you leave it there it will be off the road for another year and you will have missed another track day season.

it would make sense to make fellow forum members aware of the repairers so that we steer well clear of such apparent shoddy service.

[domster]

LOL, he is a mate and at the price he has charged he could have it for another 12 months He is also a perfectionist, which adds to the timing issue, but no complaints there either I couldn't recommend him for a quick fix, but he did my Dad's Audi S2 steering pump the other day as a fast turnaround favour with no probs. The other problem with the Baron has been waiting for parts.

[clubsport]

If he is a mate that is one thing,,but surely most of the enjoyment out of owning an RS is driving it rather than saying you have one and how great it is ?

Why would you let him have it for another 12 months, surely it would be worth paying up a little getting the job done and using the car. There are trackdays that are too good to miss waiting to be done.

[domster]

It is safer to not drive it The badgers prefer it that way

Nah, tech is a mate and isn't taking the p1ss despite what it looks like. All the work is now paid for as well, so onto the final furlong. I can't wait to get the bugger back, believe me.

According to www.easytrack.co.uk there are still 14 places remaining. Static noise limit is 105dB.

Get booking.

[ninemeister]

Look Dom, don't beat about the bush, the car is off the road just to stop you from being embarrased by a raft of faster RS's on the track day, isn't it?

[domster]

Nah, it's the faster 924s that I'm worried about

dont think I will pass the noise test... may just pop round and watch..
went as a passanger round a track in a 993 rs once,
SUBLIME !!!!!!!!! most of the steering was done via the rear..

[Melv]

"dont think I will pass the noise test..."

That's the sort of excuse Domster would make...

Don't worry about it -I've NEVER seen a noise tester or been noise tested at Oulton.

105db static is fairly high.....

Been to Oulton many times and have always been tested.

To be fair they test but don't seem unduly concerned at the results. I was let on at 107db - split secondary silencer, and I only know the result because I thought it was a bit louder than normal and asked.

There are some very loud cars run at Oulton.

[alfatim]

I can gaurantee you WILL be noise tested at Oulton Park. If your car is over the limit and you know it, take some extra silencing with you. Its not funny spending half the day trying to stuff padding into your tailpipes. ask MAD PETE.

It definitely wouldn't with the cat bypass and J pipe - sounds wonderful tho'. Sadly the gaylord standard backbox may have to go back on to please the noise nazis.

[Melv]

100 cell racing cat, Cup pipe and standard final box scrapes thru at 105....
