For me it is:

- sort out knocking rear supsension (today - hopefully)
- throttle coolant feed re-route (next wed)
- gearbox oil change (next wed)
- engine oil change (next wed)
- check brakes (saturday)
- get a fire extinguisher (monday)

Anyone else dreaming of driving around the circuit yet or is it just me :D ?
- suspension - booked for Tuesday (fingers crossed the shocks arrive in time)
- throttle coolant feed re-route DONE
- gearbox oil change DONE (well actually APT did ... thanks a bundle Gary/Chris... brilliant job)
- engine oil DONE (sprry for the mess Dave/Ian/Stu :whistle:)
- check brakes DONE (god love them PF discs and pads :D )

Also fitted new number plates thanks to Stu (the drill is my friend) Staples .... will get some piccies tomorrow but they look awesome :thumb:

To do:
- get a fire extinguisher *will get shortly
All sorted now apart from the extinguisher but hopefully one coming before we leave (just as soon as I sort it out with Alyn at ASP .... sorry I havent called you yet Alyn but havent been there to accept a delivery :( )

Had the suspension geometry tweaked yesterday at Mocom Racing and it is certainly improved :D

Now running 1 degree of negative camber at the front compared to .5 as it was and around 1.75 degree at the rear, along with Caster of 4.25.

The drive up to Snetterton (and especially back home afterwards) last night was fun indeed :thumb: The turn in is crisp at low speed such as roundabouts and high speed cornering is sublime feeling secure at all points.

2 days to go..

Well, The track rubber is on, track pads are in, my carbon was finished today and my fire extinguisher got fitted properly at last

Just need to get my geometry changed today, fit my helmet net, refit my ACT gauge and get her washed ready to go.

We'll make our mapping changes on the way out... Probably run some methanol too.

Woo hoo cant wait

Not too bad used plenty of water/washing up liquid mix and had to lift it on and off a couple of times but got it right in the end took no longer than 1/2 an hour.
