Many thanks to Ray today for the detailed examination of my S prior to its next MOT. Oil and dif fluids changed with much banter included.
A few regulars were in attendance with Lee manipulating a rather large red item that didn't even belonged to him and Ron helping out Ricardo with his new suspension, which looks the DB's.
Great to see everyone one again today.

Yeah nice to see you Senior Soggy

Graeme learned that painting over your 4 pot brake pistons with thick red caliper paint does not make for happy motoring

Cheers Riciardio for the dead pig meat sandwich

Haha I know but you did fit them like that !!

Yes reckon it would be prudent to look at the pass side considering the spack handed paint job somebody did

Very busy day at Daytona Saturday. It's been a long while since I've seen so many S2000's together.

Lots of work on the go. Craig with CV cup swap and tyres. G with the help of Tom changed his supercharger belt. Tom had leak testing on his charger too. Ricardo, was doing Ricardo time. Was also good to see Alex and our resident nutter JB.

I provided some moral support to Ray and Robin working on a regular job, whilst my S was MOT. After that Robin took me out in his mad little 205. What a Lil cracker and the cars nice too.

Big thanks to Ray for all his help, wisdom and time. Thanks to Robin too for a quickie on the moors. ;-)

As per usual lots of stuff going on again. Only a short visit for me this weekend but finally, after months of waiting it was good to see Ray's S2K on the road. I look forward to seeing it all finished next week.

Thanks again to Ray for his time and help. we refurbed my rear calipers after one stuck on. Not a easy task getting the piston and seal in, I'm glad Ray had the patience to do it.

Cheers dude

Fairly quiet weekend on the ramps. Master hands fitted a new knock sensor to the daily without stripping anything from the car. It was very cool to see the freeze frame data from the CEL, showing literally every bit of data the car recorded (speed, throttle position, crank position, lambda, air con temp, my weight, wind direction, radio 2 reception quality haha etc).
