Sainsbury's in good, thanks. Thats what I use now. 
You don't happen to know it's address or a road near where it is do you so I can look it up on the map?
Thanks
Gareth

Hi Gareth
Well I guess you will be coming down the A3 then A31(Hogs back)follow until big shepherd and flock roundabout taking third exit (A324) This road is called Water Lane,and big sainsburys on right hand side. Then after filling up follow A324 towards Aldershot, at end turn right then almost immediately left into North Lane, first R/B right into holder road and its down the end, if you want to meet at sainsburys I can do as only live 1/2 mile away.

Katana - Cheque received today mate Cheers fella.
Right well that's all the money received (Blimey i've got over a grand on my desk and it's all addressed to me
)
Looks like my car won't be done until Thursday now so I won't get a chance to bank the cheques before then. I'll let you all know when I do.
Thanks for all getting me the money in time...ish

Thanks MAFFA, I will keep my eye on the thread to see what time to get there. Wagon was last dyno'd at 310BHP at 1 bar. I'll see if I can get Tim to wind it up a bit and get another run in before the 1st.

Hi Maffa,
Looks like my car wont be ready either, had some bad news from Mike looks like the car is running on 3 cylinders but further investigation tomorrow should find the problem. I just hope the engine doesn't need stripping/rebuilding I'll give you a call tomorrow.

Still sitting down here waiting for one of the cheques to bounce. LOL.
I am going to try to come along on the day anyway, and take a chance on getting on the rollers.

LOL at Disco
Basher - If Brian's car isn't finished by then you can probably take his spot. Watch this space.
Right i've been told that we should aim for 8am so we can now start organising the convoys up there

Disco,
does 'compare favorably' actually mean 'beat the pants off anything else'? Methinks you'll still only get 240, though that will be per litre! lol Can't wait to see your car on the rollers and hear it at full pelt!

With 28 cars to get through & two runs each 8am is the norm. That way we should be finished in time for dinner at the pub Check the running order though as you may be able to turn up a little later

Just a thought.
Anyone interested in buying a Prodrive Quickshift from an MY99 on the day? I have one fitted to my car, but I'm soon to be selling it, so if anyone wants it I could take it off on the day - but I'll need your OEM job in return Mail me if interested.
I also have 17" Mim Brescia (silver - the ones SS used to sell) wheels fitted which I will also be selling in the near future. Some scrapes but on the whole in good nick! They are fitted with 215 40 17 Eagle F1's, a bit worn round the edge (still legal) and with a few mm's tread left across the rest of the tyre. If someone wants these on the day, mail me too, but again, I'll need the OEM MY99 16" wheels in part exchange too
Cheers
Neil.

Oh - and while I'm at it
I have a TEK2.5 ECU fitted to the car. This will also be up for sale. Its more than a TEK2 as it has a boost target of 17PSI instead of 16 and the boost is held longer up top too.
With this fitted, along with my decat, and 57i and Samco hoses I could keep up with many a P1 Again, I will need your OEM ECU in exchange, I will only take the AE800/AE801 or the TEK1 - I don't want the AE802 from the MY00 cars.
Price will be £500 plus your ECU.
And if you want the Samco boost hoses with the ECU that can be arranged too (its better to upgrade these too due to the higher boost the car runs!). I paid 85 quid from GGR 6 months ago, they've only covered about 4k miles, so 50 quid?
Cheers

So as not to mislead, my 310 BHP was on Tuning Japanese's rollers but that was the engine output, not at the wheels. Probably losing about 95 BHP drag so if you guys are measuring at the wheels then Disco's 240 BHP is likely to be nearer 340 BHP at engine. What is the common measurement, output at engine or wheels. You can tell I'm new to this!!

It's normally at the engine & Disco was being truthful with his 240BHP last time. By the sounds of things he's looking to nearly double that this time

Hi Scott G,
The cars are done but it looks like I have melted 2 pistons due to a severe case of bore wash. I'm looking for a closed deck block if anyone has one floating about please mail my profile.
Basher, no probs mate you may have my valued spot but remember i will return stronger, Disco, I'll kick your **** next time.
Maffa, any chance I can jump a lift with you?
