Sorry guys I'm going to have to miss this one as well Got some issues with ITA that are driving me insane! So gotta get them sorted before I head out on a day of driving.

That is no good and I hope the damage is not bad!

Thanks Chris but no damage, just a boost leak and a short fuse ATM. Not a good mix when trying to relax

Thanks again Ric for organising a great drive. The route was fun, the weather perfect (well not for turbos) and it was good to meet a few people from the forum. Most of all, it was great fun to give the vehicles a bit of a work out.

I am definitely looking forward to the next one!! Cant wait to see some of the photos too!

I've just split the post with the photos into its own topic at: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=21194

215/45/17 Diameter = 625.3 mm
215/50/16 Diameter = 621.4 mm

That's only a 0.6% difference, so not a lot.
I have a set of wheels with 215/45/17 RE050As you could borrow for the day. The tread on them is still (just) legal .

Sorry I didn't get back to you Ric, got all emotional because I couldn't go and a few mishaps in the week leading up

Ended up having a few poo moments in the last two weeks.

Old rims ended up cracking when re rolled. Had to find a new set. Found some B4 BBS rims for a decent price in good condition. Then spent a week organising with tyre shop to get tyres i just bought put back onto them for free (they fitted without telling me the servers of the buckles) Power steering started playing up (sounds like it's running dry when under decent load and near full lock. It's also always getting air in it, no matter how much I bleed) Managed to mount a rock/ boulder leaving the driveway of where I park my car in the morning, chipped the s**t of the front bar and scratched up swaybar and bent some things. Did an ECU error check and came up with Air Intake Temperature sensor, reset it today to see if it logs again, or just an old error.

Was pumped to get out and meet some more new faces at this meet, but next one will have to surfice haha Good to see everyone had a good day and there weren't any major dramas!

That sure is some bad luck mate and I hope your car is behaving itself now and do you have any pics of your new B4 wheels?
