Morning Chaps

Was a great show and was really good to get a look at some other Starions (for the first time ever!!!)

I took mine but on Saturday it was on a mini stand (its a long story) and on Sunday it was on Retro-Rides forum stand.

A chap came to talk to me on Sat Monr (and I apologise sooooo much cos I cant remember your name!) very nice guy, I did want to talk to you more and I probably seemed rude, I was all in a muddle trying to sort some stuff.

I did look fo ryou later on but didnt spot you.

Starion stand was just below where I was parked and I did see you all, but by the time I had things sorted I couldn't see you anywhere. I kept popping back now and again but missed you.

Apologies for not coming and chatting, I really wanted to

I did however get a good look at your cars!! Awesome machinery there.


I spoke to BILTEL and DAVECAV on the sunday, they spotted me and came over. probably to mock my tat from the look of Biltels car; what aan awesome machine.

His car and the sprint have given me ideas!! Now looking for an everyday driver so I can strip my Starion down.


I didnt see any other Starions doing the sprint on the Saturday?

I took it steady on the first run, and unfortunately my clutch gave out on the second run (I was trying to show boat, dropped the clutch and poured on the power out of the hairpin to try and get the back end out and.... nothing. Just a lot of revs, smoke, and smell so after that I couldn't launch well or get the power down out of corners cos the clutch was just slipping.
(no this isnt an excuse, you can ask anyone in the pits about the smell!!)

So, new clutch and some weight reduction and we'll see how it goes next year.

There was a black narrowbody on sunday too, showed up with a beautiful Lancer. Was a great show and it was good to see so many Starions!

Thanks a lot

hi mate, good to meet you.
it was a good show, shame i could only make the sunday- sounded like sat was the better day.
fitting a larger diameter 2.6 clutch and fly wheel should help with the clutch issue. act clutches and fadanza flywheel is a good combo, and good for around 400lb/ft of torque. the lighter flywheel sould help the engine rev more freely too, as it weighs around half of the factory item(mine weighed in at 11.lb, standard one is around 22.lb)
tour car is a tidey example.
hope to see you soon,
Dave

Hi all, I also made it on the Saturday and it was a pretty good day! Great to put a few names to faces and see a few more Starions!

Our little convoy went on Sunday, kinda wished we went on saturday judging by the vids on youtube but still it was a good day out. My friend Zaff has had his Lancer since 1985 and has just had it resprayed, he didnt go for the original colours but used st focus orange and bmw pearl white, i think it looks stunning. We had a nice little blag back to Leicester but Martins cossie left my Starion and Zaffs lancer, not for long me thinks Nice to see some other Starions, Whens the next meet?

Hi all,
Yes, good to see old faces and meet some new ones. Despite the show taking a while to get going on Saturday morning, I really enjoyed it and saw some really nice cars.
Danny, good to have some Starion representation on the track sprint, I was on the verge of signing the disclaimer to also do the track sprint but bottled it in the end!!
Nice photo's everyone, let's get another meet organised soon.
Ash.
