  1. I had 3 degrees of negative camber by NOT fitting camber arms You'll want ones which go longer than normal to push the wheels out like that. *Awaits the "it looks stupid/broken" crowd arrival* :snack:
  2. :scare: What's going on Uncle Keyser?! This AND the nos?!
  3. Certainly round here it's not TOO bad, it's more the wind which is cold
  4. It's not cliffs falling into the sea, it's the country falling into the sea
  5. I got quoted £400 for a full little metal discs welded into the holes and boot spray job a few years back, never got round to it and my vinyl has held up ok since
  6. Make that 6, still haven't had mine done from a few years back!
  7. A friend of mine did his engine in on the ring and had the most help I've ever heard of from people he'd never met before. Free parts offered (nothing major obviously) tool usage to find out what the problem was, one dropped his car locally at a hotel on his flatbed for him once it was determined as terminal. Real community spirit at the ring.
  8. I heard someone was selling near immaculate white rota 19 inchers at the weekend :stir: :boxing:
  9. Will you be creating a sunset version of this car Grundy? Course not... ....there's no in your face wheel colour that will go with a sunset *ahem*
  10. Will you be creating a sunset version of this car Grundy?
  11. Not knowing a lot about them I'd say with a decent bit of information (sizes, pcd, etc) on the ad, some good pictures and a clean you could expect £500+ ish.
  12. I would, but Paint/Primer/Laccour is about £40ish - as it's on show all the time, thought it's best to get it done properly In fairness, the lip is going to be hit by a lot of stones etc, so a professional job should hold up to more of that
  13. I'd also say don't crash within a few miles of the ring either! Your insurers will presume you totalled on the ring and moved the car off for an insurance claim. They'll have to prove it, but it will slow down your claim
  14. Just seen this: http://www.insuremytrackday.com/faqs/ Will you pay for any damages caused to another vehicle that I make contact with on the track? Your track day insurance policy will only cover damage to your own vehicle. Track day participants are liable for damage to their own cars (regardless of fault) and sign disclaimers to this effect before going onto the circuit. Participants go on track at their own risk and standard motor insurance conditions do not apply. Do you cover “Touristfahrten†days at Nurburgring Nordschleife? Yes we can provide a quotation to cover for your car on a Tourist day at Nurburgring. Do you cover damage to the Armco barriers at Nuburgring Nordschleife, as I understand I am liable for repair/replacement costs? Yes you are indeed liable for damage caused to Armco barriers at “The Ringâ€. Our track day insurance policy for Nurburgring Nordschliefe automatically includes cover for up to £2,000 of costs for the Armco truck attendance plus removal and replacement of Armco. There is an option on the quote request form to increase this sum insured to £4,000 for an additional premium. In order to verify the claim you will need to provide a copy of the invoice from Nurburgring and you will be reimbursed for the costs.
  15. Ah, found these: Cost of crashing on the Nurburgring These include Armco repairs, safety car attendance, vehicle recovery, track closure, hospital stays and helicopter fees. I recommend avoiding these. If you can't, then the following price-list may help: Base fee for attendance of armco truck: €150 Removing damaged armco: €10/metre (x2 or x3 or x4 for multiple-height sections) Replacement armco: €31/metre (x2 or x3 for double/triple height) Removing damaged armco posts: €5.10 each Replacing armco post: €39 each Safety car attendance: €82 per 30 mins (car + 2 people) Circuit closure: €1,350 per hour Recovery truck: €250 (inc VAT) Hospital stay & air ambulance: Let's just say, do NOT go there without travel insurance! (Though a European Health Card - which replaced the E111 - may cover the hospital bit.) Everything except the recovery truck is then subject to 19% VAT. The record armco bill I'm aware of is €15,000. That was a car that managed to flatten a very impressive length of armco between the Quiddlebacher Hohe bridge and the crest on the approach to Flugplatz. But even a minor bump can turn into a surprisingly expensive day out.
  16. Have you seen their charges for if something goes wrong? Sky Insurance do track insurance, just not for the ring, something about doing it in the past and it almost killed the company when someone had a big whoopsie daisy. At the ring your biggest problem isn't hitting another car, it's the armco costs, the closing the track to repair the armco and recovery costs. THEY'RE what will bankrupt you! It's only going to get worse with the sale of the ring to an American company
  17. bless him Careful, those crafty Ninjas get everywhere
  18. They look the same as these, just yours are bigger: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19-Alloy-Wheels-Antera-Split-Rims-349-Silver-Polished-With-285-40-19-Tyres-/171032811986 2 piece wheels, £200 is low money for them though,
