    Smile Evo Triangle 8/11/2015



    Well it's that time of year again when a few of us make what is now an annual pilgrimage into North Wales to enjoy some fantastic Welsh roads, a bit of banter and a bite to eat (if you wish to). Most of the usual suspects are already in the know on this years run. Hopefully the weather will be better and we may be able to get some good shots of the cars in action. We will aim to meet at one of the 2 cafes in the area (number dependant as one only has a small car park, but is the most convenient one ) which I will post links up to later and after a cup of tea and a probable bacon sarnie we'll set off for a few laps of the Triangle till the fuel gauges tell us that it is time to return to civilisation again, when we will most likely take a nice route back possibly taking in a late afternoon cuppa at the cafe on the horseshoe pass as per last year.



    Feel free to add your own images of previous years if you wish to, Looking forward to seeing you all there. Adrian

    Superb....If there's just ONE meet in the year I could go to - the annual EVO meet would be it.

    The DeRv will be there

    Yeah I'm sorry also, its year end at work so I'm really busy early November. Also the car isn't good at the moment as I still haven't had the gearbox sorted yet so a bit crunchy slipping into 2nd.

    I'm waiting for Shem to get his head around mapping the me7's well enough to do a gt28 map and also for him to have the time free to do the work to get the gearbox and turbo swapped together as well as some other general service items that I may as well get done while the engines dropped.

    The car had a run in with a garden wall while I was out and a family member decided to move it to get access to the garden gate, not to much damage but will need the front passenger door spraying. luckily no dents but not looking its best atm.

    I'll make an effort to do a late November shrewsbury meet even if the cars not perfect as I haven't been able to attend many meets this year.

    no worries mate, timing hasn't been great for me, for some of my usual meets this year and have missed out on a lot of the usual drag racing meets, but there's always next year ( that's what I keep telling myself )

    you didn't appear to be struggling last year, your 240 was a bit of a mover for what I remember..

    The GLT handled lovely! Even though I have swapped the shocks and springs over to my SE, the lack of rear anti roll bar is very noticeable! The SE cam with self levelers as standard, hence the lack of anti roll bar! To buy the anti roll bar kit, IPD ones are mega bucks!

    Well I'm off and I've not done it before and always fancied it so assuming I come back from Shakespeare in one piece count me in. Failing that there is always the D5 to try and kill...
