lmao if you turned up looking the same as the pic with a bald head accompanied by a "hanging toupee on the left side" I would be ON THE FLOOR .

To be honest I would welcome anyone looking like that just for the crack !

You bet Hammer. I have been up there 3 times (on my own ) without the worry of a "Hammers Production" awaiting me

I need a lot more power to compete with you Clive and I will get a lot more power on the next RCM visit. I should be dropping the P1 off this weekend but I am towing the Mitsubishi up for the MLR500.

Will book the P1 in for the following weekend and have a GOOD chat with M & O.

When I am happy with it I can assure you that you will be seeing a lot more of me and we can have the crack

Just bare with me for a while until I catch you up and DONT get any more power

I've heard that Clive has a new turbo tucked away and might be visiting Zen before the year is out to get push for 650+hp!

But that would be because they would have had the confidence to stamp on the brakes at the latest possible moment knowing they'd produce the same consistent braking distances time and time again - knowing full well that they won't lock up the brakes. Very much a trust/confidence thing.

Try doing that in a non-ABS car, lap after punishing lap.

Clive just dropped his turbo in for inspection, which he purchased as a bit of a gamble, and it's not what we thought it was, so we might need to go back to the drawing board with a view to making sure the engine is up to it.

There's no point in trying to cover it up now clive! I think the custom inlet manifold, and larger up-pipe, along with 8 injectors might be the way to go.
