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.

Thanks mate

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

MAFFA

 

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.

John

 

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.

Bryan

 

Mate you still have 2 weeks. You should be okay shouldn't you? If not i'm sure basher will fill in for you

Oh & Corner

Matt

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.

Chris

 

Maffa, I'm sure JscoobyD's 310bhp will compare very favourably against mine, I only got 240 last time we went there

 

...last time I was on the rollers I only got 124bhp

 

Fastest soap-dish on wheels yet!!!!!!

 

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

MAFFA

 

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!

 

Optimax!

Here's a little route plan from Tunbridge Wells to Aldershot. why? well, it's where I'm coming from, but, more importantly, it shows optimax petrol stations on route!

click here for a look.

 

8am??

 

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

 

anyone going from the essex area that I can meet in the way???

 

I'll be going from about 2 miles up the road from you (Steeple View)

 

Disco - will mooch round 2moro to discuss convoy

 

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
Neil.

 

Disco, I saw you in Wickford High street on saturday did I not?
Steeple view? not sure exactly where that is??
If there is a convoy being arranged I will join it

 

You may well have done sir, were you in your car?

Its behind the "Fortune of War" roundabout on the A127, we could meet by KFC/Maccy D's if you like?

 

I'm so pi55ed off at the mo.....

 

I`m 5th on the list . Be going M26-M25-A3 to get there for 8-8.15

Sorry to hear about the car Bryan. Has mike done the boxes yet do you know? I'll call him in the morning.

 

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

 

BTW for those of you wanting to convoy from Sussex you all have mail

MAFFA

 

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?

Bryan
