nlash Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Evenin... For those attending the Heyford Academy 1 event this Saturday and wishing to travel in convoy, we will be meeting at Halfords car park, Shires Trading Estate, Leamington. Sign on is at 9.00am so if we can meet at 0745 with a view to setting off at 0800. This will leave enough time for those wishing to top up their tanks just before arriving at the airfield. As per the email you should have received, please let MSE know if you require the use of one of their helmets. I would suggest you bring your driving licenses too, just to be on the safe side. Noise limits are 103 dba @ 0.5m, 3/4 max revs. I will take my noise meter to the Thursday meet if any of you want to check your cars. Should be a really good day, see you all on Saturday if not before. Nige Attendees i'm aware of are Rob Ian Greg Terry Dave M Taffy and me... if i've missed anyone then please drop me a line if you intend to drive in convoy. My number is 07931 421641 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart, the event is a trackday organised by MSE. There are a few of us paid up and going along this Saturday. I'm not sure if there any places left but if you are interested in joining us then you'd better give MSE a call on 0870 787 2116. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I eventually arrived at the charity do Pat and I were attending in the evening I was just about Westied out! For once didnt need the brollies! C ya soon Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlash Posted July 19, 2004 Author Share Posted July 19, 2004 Rob Glad you enjoyed it, I think everybody agreed that it was a very enjoyable and informative day. Ian and I got home at around 2030. Ian managed to do a temporary bodge on the leaking core plug using the two part Leak Fix bought from the Jet garage on the corner. There was still a dodgy noise once we got the car started and after a few stabs in the dark as to what it could be, Ian noticed a bolt on the floor under the engine. This led us to the fault.... starter motor falling off!!!. Fixed that then set off for home. Note - Andy Hawkins.... MSE didn't take a single noise reading all day.

adhawkins Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I specifically asked about a noise limit on their forums (here), and was told 103dB. That's what they measured me as being last time I was on one of their days, so I figured it would be too close for comfort. again.

taffy Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Hi Nigel, The bit on the Seating/Driving position was a bit slow but it certainly had us all thinking about changing the way we sit in the car. I drove home with the seat moved forward a notch and it was better. Upgraditus strikes again!!! rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
