goober thats not like you to tell us about mods you are about to have, you must be holding something back

trebor you got a burbling V8 in that beestie?

Jonto

Trebor - looks a beast !

Goobers got the modding bug, Goobers go the modding bug !

Did PKF or Barrington's take you ? PKF you alot of stuff like that, but one of the partners at barringtons is a big motorsport nut and raced in a single make fiesta challenge i think !

Jonto

Did you go to fast lane in fenton ? I went the other week for a mates 21st and set a 24.25 !

goober

I forgot that Dean was away. After the RR I'm not going for any more 'stealth' upgrades.

Jon, it was Barringtons, the racing bloke came in 6th!!, must have been well pi$$ed off. Best time 24.92, not bad for a big fella?

Jonto

Goober - the guys name is phil wood, i think, we just poached one of there administrators, who quite good !

Goober - i here this is your next upgrade !

Jonto

25 secs and under is good round there, it's only cause i am light that i get good times ! power to weight ratio !

mike_s14

mmmm nice you may have to have a boonet mod by the looks of it

DodgeT

whoooa,,

imagine that on the blade......

Jonto

Go tell ryan you found a turbo for his blade !

trebor

im back ye theres a V8 in there should be doing my first
trial in a couple of weeks a boundry near cheadle

Jonto

Drop me a line trebor, will come watch that with me land Rover buddy !

goober

Jon, looks like a handy upgrade, just a bit woried about the lag? Not too stealthy either! Also might have problems with seeing round it, dump valve is going to go off like an exploding air cylinder, I worry about what the effects will be like for pedestrians/cyclists/small birds etc

Goober,
Is the map for your plug in card ? & what boost is that map running ?, Maybe you should consider an uprated fuel pump as well to prevent melt down on these hot days !!!!

Just emailed the bloke in the Pic & have secured the Turbo, Arriving Mon should be whistling by Tues, **** the Lag
WOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

goober

Yes map is for the 'stealth' card, is currently set for 15psi, but doesn't hold this. New map is for 16.5psi held, fuel cut at 17.5.

Have been in two minds about this, not sure i want to go down the whole, knocklink - lambdalink - fuel pump etc etc etc, route at the moment. Would probably get more speed from better brakes and suspension?

Remap is only £20 though!

mike_s14

go for the power route goober you know it makes more sense

been down the station tonight for speeding

Jonto

Naughty boy ! Where did you get caught ?

mike_s14

luckily it wasnt me, tina got caught in buxton but I ended up forking out the money

at least my license is still clean

mike_s14

I'll have to put the nissan into retirement soon as she has nearly done 150k

DodgeT

mike had his yesterday, weve done about 200 miles already!!!

woohoo!!!!

Jonto

Thats funny dodge, cause when i mailed him this morning he was still waiting for it !

mike_s14

just had a look on the dyno thread, 19th might be tricky as I'm 30 the day before and might have a sore head

mike_s14

jonto did you only order one.....I had to have two a slow one (the blade) ok for nipping down the shops in

and the R1 for racing, dragging etc.............

mike_s14

you wont be heavier when trevor has made your cage out of solid like I asked him too....

my titanium version should be a little lighter

Jonto

lol - he's made mine out of pig iron, thats why it has taken so long !

mike_s14

oh so you have uprated to pig iron have you you sneaky bugger

mike_s14

spoke to him today, and I think it shouldnt be too far off now

he has had to change the following things as before the sva proper on friday

powerflow are making the exhaust up, more automotive style to pass the sva... might have to upgrade to race can after

alloy race style tank to replace the steel one

extra steering clamping required

sure hope it goes through

DodgeT

i hope he is covering all of the extra costs??

has he given you a definate date?
