Hello Outlaws

My name is Charlotte, known as Charlie, and my OH is Chris. We have 3 Jap cars. A DC5, a Corolla WRC Edition and a RX7. Based in South Gloucestershire.

The RX7 is new to me, bought her off a friend and she will be arriving end of this month. Needs a rebuild so will be a while before she's on the road. Looking to have her as more of a show car but she will see the track occasionally to :wink: Being rebuilt by Hayward Rotaries with a single turbo conversion giving us, hopefully, around 450bhp.

The DC5 is pure track, although its not been out this year due to Chris doing more mods etc....will be out in al her glory at Japfest 2011 tho. Its running 260bhp with plans for TBs in the near future :wink:

The Corolla is a WRC Edition, track and everyday use. It was a GS model but is now a G6R. We bought a red G6R which was pranged and basically robbed it for bits for the white one :wink: Red one is off to the scrappy this eve to make way for my new baby :thumbup1: The Corolla is running a standard 4AFE at the mo, dyno'd at 109bhp, which was cool considering its over 10years old and this is what the book says they should have! This engine is soon to be swapped for a 20V Blacktop tho taking her to about 180bhp with a few other little mods.

So thats us and the cars. Look forward to chatting and maybe catching up at some shows :thumbup1:

Yea we go to shows all over teh country. Just to be clever we even go on crazy driving trips abroad!!

Some of us have just got back from a marathon drive to the Swiss Alps and back in 1 weekend, taking in 3 mountain passes that must bee seen to appreciate the scale and beauty of the area.

Of course we were mostly all at JAE this last weekend that was as always excellent.

Next meet is Santa Pod, there are tickets available if you want to jump on our stand and meet the crazy people in this club:p

That sounds AWESOME. Will defo look out for one of these 'abroad' trips SmileSmile

Ah is this the Japshow Finale?? We have never bothered with it in the past as Chris gets bored with 1/4 mile, we are more into our circuit stuff. But on the other hand ive never been to a drag strip before so i have yet to make my own opinion, plus its the company that matters Wink

What date is this show?? I work really weird shifts, including weekends, so everything has to be arranged around work!! :/

Thanks for the welcomes guys and gals, good to see a nice lively and busy forum Wink x
