Friends, neighbours, and American puppets of Euro Night Wave, it's only one week until Brit/o/ has its first track meet of the year. Join us at Shakespeare County Raceway from the 8th of April to the 9th for DRAG MEET II, hosting SHITBOX CUP, the premiere drag racing series for largely standard Nissan Micras and lesser cute cars. Some of us are going down on the 7th to save missing all of Saturday's racing driving up there so feel free to join us for a lot of alcohol.
Shitbox Cup cars are up to 1.3 DOHC or 1.6 SOHC cars that are largely standard. Non-shitboxes can compete but with penalties. Current reigning champion in his "Boyota Rustlet" is rumoured to be competing with a refreshed clutch.
There will be grills like Danny and Sam available.

What is the story with the bonnet crater
Been a nice day in Notts.
Passed my test on Monday and loving life so far, happy I managed to get insurance at a reasonable amount of money without a cuckbox
>>16931191
yeah, but it means driving halfway across the country in a shitbox with some sort of tapping from the engine (fucking hope its just the valves), on the day i get back from uni.
>>16931215
1.3 Ka? You can adjust the valves easy. It's a pushrod engine so they sound a little tappety but I'll bring a set of feeler gauges and we'll do the tappets at the meet if you fancy
Post an email address if you'd like to join Brit/o/ Slack chat. Easiest way to keep in the know about meets and what traps are going to be where. It can be any email address, personal, anonymous, we don't care.
>>16931226
yeah, got a feeler gauge a couple of days ago, just hoping it is the valves, and nothing i would have to pull the engine for. Honestly, if the rules dont ban it i might just get the train down and buy a car there, and scrap it when im done with it, so i dont have to fuck about with tax/insurance
What dates are the USC meet? I might be able to make that one
Idk if shakeys will be very happy about you running a car that isn't taxed or insured, but I guess if it's MOT'd they can't be too upset.
>>16931285
4-6th august
>>16931296
Nice
>>16931281
Tapping or deep knocking
>>16931325
tapping. the oil level looked good, but im going to refill it anyway. it probably is just the valves, they need adjusting every 10k or so, though desu it might be a bit loud to be valves.
Dolomite has two inlet runners from each SU carb, what happens if i weld a balance pipe between the two inlet "manifolds"? Surely it'd run far better
>>16931448
Scaffold pole should do the trick
Why cant you Brits keep a thread up for longer than few hours?
>>16932333
We start them at 11pm or so.
So how fast can the Dolomite go?
>>16934001
Why would the Dolomite go fast? I took it to 70 once but I try to cruise around 50-55 cause it has 4 gears and noisy big ends/mains
>>16931294
They literally have cars racing which aren't Street legal, they just don't want you fucking around on site, they don't give a shit what you do outside
>>16934105
True. Is it a different scrutineering process?
>>16934128
Is it leaking fluids?
Nope!
Welcome aboard!

How much is insurance on an old micra or Starlet? Might buy one for a cheap runabout
>>16931195
I bought it like that but a new bonnet be about £20
>>16934657
k11 micra is insurance group 11. mine still costs fuckloads to insure because i had my licence less than a year. im thinking about selling it and getting a 1.6 capri since it costs around the same to insure.
>>16934657
Starlet a shit Micra a best come to Wales not online and see what happens
Are there going to be any "white people"there?
>>16934665
how long you had your licence for? shit gets a lot cheaper after 1 year, might just be worth waiting until then
>>16934953
I've had my license for 3 years and not much change in the price area
The Based Purple God will not die, it is immortal.
>>16934128
They literally open the bay, look to see it's not a box of chickens or small children. If it goes vroom it's bonza.
The scrutineering is nothing on road rallies, y'know, where they actually check things.
>>16935346
They checked my frunk mate
>>16935525
Only because they want to empty your car as much as possible to give your shitty clutch a chance in your Toyota coffin
Sorry lads, going to GTI Springfest at Pod with some normies. Still down for USC though.
>>16935240
what you driving? Ive just had mine go over the 1 year mark and its gone down by between 1/3 - 1/4, have you tried price comaprison sites/sticking a parent/grandparent on your insurance?
>letting a thug keep threads alive
>>16935653
I wanna see that gti at pod man
I'm very tempted to come to USC now. It does look like some cheeky fun desu
>>16936677
Even if you dont camp with us and go on your own or with your mates/local club you're all very welcome to join us in drunken/sober antics and trap heckling in the xxx tent
Pic related will be there for everyone with their grownup cars to laugh at

>>16937192
421 manifold, 2" mani back exhaust, cold (hot) air intake that i need to sort out. Currently on the lookout for an almera as a donor car for the ga16de since im running a cg13de. It's got pulsar brakes and apex'i coilovers on so its gonna be a nice lil 120hp NA shitter when im done

[super euro beat intensifies]
Just bought a Ford Focus that I have to collect from North Wales and drive it back to Cardiff, anyone wanna recommend me a route to take?
>>16940240
1) don't go at night
2) don't try and race any Micras
3) duck eggs are larger and more delicious than chicken eggs
>>16937406
throw the 1.0 pistons in and get a better throttle body, you'll be putting down 120hp easy
>>16940298
not the guy you responded to, but do you have any idea how much power 1.0 pistons will give in a 1.3 without any other mods?
>>16940304
It's a micra, there's no power to begin with
>tfw no mechs will turn up to meet
>>16937406
Everything is right with this image. So nice.

Those cars were built in the UK, at least.
>>16942670

kind of expensive for what a shit car it is, and not the best engine, but guess it would be ok for an engine swap or something
>>16943177
£450 for a car that runs drives and has an mot is not expensive

probly not much only bumps the compresion ratio to around 12.0-1 but if you're not modding anything else you'll lean out and melt some pistons
