A Honda Vision with a 1400 bhp Goldwing engine shoe-horned into it? Glad to hear you haven't been sunbathing all weekend.

Erm David, whats a MDGT3LP3HTRTJKFHGR000124533 .. a BIG turbo type?

Hmm

It's big enuff!

Nice to read you have THE engine, guess you will be ready for TOTB2 then! More or less, worth a go anyway ehh .. keep the Evo's and Skylines on their toes...

All those hands on your car .. can you rate it at 24 person power or 500+ BHP!

Hope it goes well, I doubt I can make it, away on the Friday/Saturday, will watch it in TNT and/or SKY when ever they show it!

Way they were fannying about last night, yes. Never seen anyone take so long and concerned over not breaking a snap on punch that was stuck in the drive shafts after trying to knock the dowell pin out.

When i left at 10:20, they had finally just cut the fecking thing, that was after 40mins

Suspect the engine is in now.

Oh, and i hate poly bushes!

They will probably have been working late.

I rang at about 9pm and they were still working towards getting running. They had nearly finished fabricating the exhaust (turbo back).

Simon, sticker company is sorted.

Will be helping out later today
