Me old Steve nahhhhhhhh never
Still in the prime of my life

Tony

 

Count me in as a spectator. The car's just too limp to run at the moment. If I come back from this wanting more power, someone's taking the blame .

Sounds like an excellent turnout is planned!

 

Tony

Must be mi eyes playing with mi then at my age,not as good as they used to be....

Course you got to be an old git to afford the insurance on these things - when I was a young lad I remember paying £2200 one year for a modified Cossie - yeah, I know, pretty cheap.....

Hopefully will be there, in my mildly modded car..... its great telling people the cars std apart from an exhaust and filter, especially if its a Kev boy racer..............

I love those people who ask me ''is it a real one mate, or replica'. ''does it have a turbo mate'' - course this is just at the Subaru dealership...........

 

They have me in stitches too when people ask questions as well. One i get often is "You got the WRX(nope UKMY00) great, my mate has one, his does not have the twin turbos though!"

WTF do they read.

Yoof of today, eh!

 

Hi Chiark,

Glad to have you along. Turnout at these things is usually great and the good news is that the cars just keep getting more and more powerful.

P20,

Know what you mean! The best one is

"Is yours an STi?",
"no it's a UK"
"oh they are dead slow"
"what even with over 330 brake you chimp!"

Rich

 

TTT... Need to get my car finished now I have the welder...

David

 

You also NEED to have it finished to be ABLE to beat me

 

two pints and you start getting confident... you Also need to have your new turbo fitted to be Able to beat me.

David

 

I know, sorry my father gave me a BIG wooden spoon when i was born, just cant help using it.

Thanks for your help

Steven

 

Rich YHM :-(

 

I am still hoping I can make this.... but parts are taking longer than expected!!

 

yhm rich

 

Christian, tell me about it... I know the feeling...

What you waiting for??

David

 

I'm waiting for parts too..at least we are all in the same boat.



Rich

 

Ditto

 

at least we all have an excuse when we dont go past 350bhp..

David

 

I am already past that figure :P

 

I saw it and it didn't even break a sweat either

Rich

 

christian... yeah but yours cost lots... Mine is less than 1k (excluding welder )

And I havent finished yet...

Seriously though... havent got a clue what power its going to run..

David

 

Rich, have you got standard clutch on yours??

David, you MUST do 400+

 

not without modding the turbo..

David

 

P20,

I did up until recently. Having an AP one fitted at the mo, just waiting on the lightened flywheel.

Standard clutch was surprisingly ok to say I'd whacked over 300 brake through it for sometime. I never do full bore standing starts in first though, always get rolling first then nail it, so that's probably why.

If I'd been a hooligan I'd have probably destroyed it.

Rich

 

Cheers Rich, thats how i usually start these days, so looks like i may be ok.

David...thought you were going modded turbo

 

David - yes yours is a lot cheaper, but you also dont have to pay for labour

 

Im glad I dont otherwise

Steven, I am but going to get it running... then going to sell front entry conversions... (to fund the welder!)

David

 

 

David,

Front entry conversions, just what my TD05 wants . How much we looking at?

Tony.

 

cough... banner add.. mail me off line... probably looking at a ton.. Depends how much machining needs doing... let me do mine first!

David

 

Excluding Christian I've decided your all going to lose................

360bhp last time - I must have been in a 1.1 Fiesta (no offence to Bladerunner....)..... hahhaha

 

Oh and Trout........., Dave Wallis, Richi White - if they dfont turn up I may have a chance
