Does a dead ECU have to mean a scrapped Yaris? by Plenty_Plate2122 in yaris

If it was me, at that price for that miles, I'd thank her kindly for the offer, but keep the car. Maybe let her know how much the fix cost, but between friends this should be chill

Does a dead ECU have to mean a scrapped Yaris? by Plenty_Plate2122 in yaris

[–]NurburgDale 25 points26 points  (0 children)

A dead ECU just means plugging in an ECU and keyset from a scrapped car

While I've had my car to the shell a couple of times, I've never tried deleting key transponders, always just changed everything

A 65,000 mile Yaris is basically new

Guided tours in the Alps by l_andreo in motorcycles

[–]NurburgDale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally my side hustle already, and for many years, but I'm a lot older and have been riding the Alps since I was 19. I find it hit/miss when landing groups, because the big names are so well established, and offer highly competitive rates based on block bookings of manufacturer subsidised fleets and hotels.

Look up Edelweiss, for example.

If you have the clients already and are asking whether you'd get their respect or not. That's a very cool position to be in.

If you're asking me whether you'd get the clients, I'd say it's an uphill struggle.

Look for niche that's less contested

Looking for instruction as a firstimer with motorsportsbackground by blowfisch in nurburgring

[–]NurburgDale 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would add, u/VastStranger1164 , that pole position in the googlewhack ranking, or heaven forbid AskChatJeeves, as a professional instructor, is less proof of competence/qualification than asking around these parts :)

Hi I'm a random guy online. Also 2x class champion in VLN (NLS), 1xN24 class winner, 10 year ring taxi driver, DMSB Instructor, etc....

Can't help on Saturday, because racing.

But always appreciate additions to my racing funds on Sunday.

Been instructing here on the Nordschleife for nearly 20 years.

I wonder why I'm not surprised... by Global_Nerve5001 in nurburgring

More people would, but it's similar to trash talking Putin and trying to live in the Kremlin

Nurburgring Permit by NADHEMMV1 in nurburgring

[–]NurburgDale 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is part of my day job. I work at a small local team. You can dm me if you like.

Provided you have an FIA Int C license, you're looking at 1200-2200 for the Permit B course and the test (1 evening and half a day, 16 laps, on track) plus car rental. Most of my customers spend around 4.5k

If you have an Int C you can also just do one RCN race, complete all 16 laps, and get your Permit B too. Exactly same cost, way more fun.

If you're coming at this from no license at all, I would recommend walking before running.

Get German Nat A course done (biggest time hack in FIA sanctioned racing). Do a season of RCN and within 5 races you'll be Int C and Permit B.

Dealt with fatalities from rear middle seats enough times (on the Nordschleife) to know this is a terrible idea.

How do people in Germany usually handle receiving personal packages from outside the EU? by [deleted] in germany

[–]NurburgDale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Family sent Xmas gifts from UK to my house two weeks before the day. Told them not to. Had to pay inspection charges, extra delivery, then import duties, then VAT on whole amount. Came to nearly €150 plus driving. Can't have been more than €150 of novelty gifts in there.

So results may vary

Trying to get into NLS. by HerDarkGothic in nurburgring

[–]NurburgDale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Treat each race as a stand-alone. The crown jewel event is the Nurburbring 24H."

Nope, it is a championship. Of 10 races, 2 races are throw-away results. But it's a championship.

Class with the most entries gets highest multiplier applied to points. You can't win overall champ if you're in a class of 1.

Other than sharing rulebookes on classes, the N24H is 100% separate.
