You'll have to come out in mine once I've got it set-up properly, Mat.

This turbo is awesome... it goes so well now! I'll show you what a real turbo feels like

Will do, cheers!

Youll have to find me first...

Edit: And actually come into work! :rolleyes:

And why were you not down in the South this week? :mad:

No MOT and had a few bits to do to the car to get it through.

Was it your birthday weekend?

When mine was unmodded 2-3k was my powerband, now the fuel pump adjuster makes the higher revs much more petrol-like, power just seems to go up and up until Mr limiter kills my fun

If I'm chilling gear changes are about 1.5k, if I keep going to high revs I can get MPG down into the 30s

Mine should be pretty mental when mapped

No common rail on your engine?

I've had 34-35mpg from a tank before

That was pure thrash everywhere though lol

Ahh, I'll let you off then.

Nope, looks like I may not have one, hassle to organise and costs I don't need...full GP karting was going to be £70 each and I needed to get like 16 people at least. :eek:

May see about organising karting next weekend actually, just a 30min session, if Jake, Howard & possibly Ben want to do it. I'm guessing you're back at work next weekend?

Ah hem! I'm sorry sir, but I do not swing that way.

If you're in the South around Reading next weekend, feel free to join us...at the moment we're just going for some back road driving fun, but I'm tempted to book in some karting too.

In London next week my good sir with the missus, but I'd be more than happy to come and annoy some other time, I need to get around more

All depends on whether I can get the car in for an MOT in the week.

Been talking to your mate again, the one with the yellow ZR

Hope you get it all MOT'd in time, 6 weeks

Edit for the sake of work pride: Yes I am drunk.

Im a dirty stinky drop out, remove me from the runners list please!

TaKeN · 16 Mar 2009 at 11:05

Howcome?

Cant really justify spending £100 for my car to spin up and make standard power or snap the cambelt and leave me with a grand of bills

Rather put that towards something else, get my cambelt done professionally to help retain more resale value than if I did it myself.

Can also get my car done at a different RR whenever I want for £45 for 3 runs and they have free drinks and sweets and are closer to home....

Fox is buying this time as Gibbo's died, or something.

Fair enough

I put myself down as a maybe.. and thats still the case, clutch needs doing! two alloys to be refurbed and my new tires fitted, I've also got some trim to replace on the outside (need spraying aswell) that some **** destroyed..

6 weeks.. Pushing it a little? oh yes..

You can do most of that in one afternoon...if you have the bits.

Not at all sir

You can put my car down as S2000 not that it matters. Better hurry up and book the day off too. :eek:
