Not really sure on that one Matt, one for the tech forum I think, I do know they are good for 350hp and Dan is very happy with the one he's put on, I think his car is pushing out around the 320-330 figure now.

Did you get a quote in the end to convert your TD05?

Hi simb,

What's the implications of sticking on a VF28, (power gains, remap needed, any other pre-req mods)?

Rich.

Dead right, VF28 + Ecutek and a really nice improvement.

Then decat
Then front mount
Then steel con rods
Then forged alloy pistons
Then full exhaust
Then induction
Then bigger injectors
Then STi cams
Then clutch and flywheel
Then equal tubular headers
Then gearbox
Then rear diff
Then bigger brakes
Then bigger better wheels and tyres
Then suspension
Then nitrous
Then bigger turbo
Then rebuild the worn out engine

OH dear! where to stop?

The snow just seemed to miss me this afternoon, we could see carmarthen getting a hammering. Roads seem clear as the gritters are pretty good up here.

I'll find out tomorrow morning how!!!!!!

FOOKIN HELL!!!

I've been waiting since July this year for a pair of tickets to be delivered for the "Noise and Confusion" gig at the Millenium Stadium on 10th December.

I paid £85 for them and since then have been looking forward to seeing bands like The Coral, Razorlight, the Foo Fighters.......AND OASIS!!!

I get a text message today from a delivery company informing me that they'll be delivering them between 8am and 6pm on......you guessed it, 26th November.

I can't even re-arrange delivery because I'm off to work in San Fransico on Sunday night for a few days and am then away on a course for a week.

Bang goes my go-karting, unless they're here before 10am.

That'll be one less "lite" driver to compensate for the "fatties"

Gutted for you, didn't you have the option to collect from depot??? I'd be very surprised if any courier is working past 1pm on saturday.

oh well, depending on what time they deliver, perhaps you could pop down a little later, you may still get a ride

Rich,

If you let me know who the courier is, I might be able to help as our company deals with some couriers from Cardiff area like Business-post, TNT, DHL and I have a few contacts that might be able to help.

All I know is that it's a company called http://www.specialmail.co.uk/. They are reviewed on this link (not very favourably either) http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews81566.html

Well, I'm still sat here waiting for the w4nker to turn up with my tickets .

Something tells me that considering it's now 5:25pm the ar5ehole isn't going to turn up. What a complete waste of a day, especially a day that would've involved go-karting.

I don't even have a phone number I can call to shout abuse at someone.

I hope you all had a good day, let me know the winners and losers.

I'm going to go to the pub soon to drown my sorrows........
