Bloody cold is a massive understatement !!

I havent been that cold since ... ever ... my fingers wouldnt work and while hanging upside down wiring it seems my mind didnt work either LOL

Cheers for the awesome coffee again mate - see you again soon At least you can give the saxo boys some ALS action down at maccy D's now

 

It would have been colder if you had stayed up north Thanks for dropping in. Will sort an above freezing day with you soon If I don't see you before I'll see you on 18th

 

Does it usually DG?

 

You'd certainly hope so... For the sake of his "mapping" customers!

 

Normally perfect ... lol

 

 

Minor updates -

Have not driven the Type R in this weather although I did move cars around the other day to service a pals car. Switched the Anti lag on and it does sound good Will get the final tweaks arranged with Duncan over the Xmas period.

I have been very busy sorting a Wagon I bought a couple of months ago getting it ready to sell on. It is a very nice car and will be a cheap fast wagon once all together. If anyone is after a nice clean fast Wagon drop me a line.

I have had an update on the Drag cars engine also today. The bores are absolutely fine so now it will just have a light hone and the pistons will be coated before Tim starts building it back up.

Also got one of those little machines to label the switches in the Type R

 

lol

 

Here you go

 

You've made a bit of a mess of it on the right-hand side YC

Have another go

 

lol, much cheapness machine did not want to cut

 

lol

 

Lol did you use one of these mate....



Iv got a proper electrical one in my van could of printed you some of when you where down.

 

Yep similar to that, cost me £5

 

Seriously Clive, rather than rely on its own sticky-back, I'd seriously consider adding some double-sided sticky tape - Sellotape, 3M, Scotch, etc - and trim any excess with a scalpel/Stanley knife.

Otherwise, I think you'll find that the labels' own tackyness (or lack of!) will eventually dry out too quickly, and the label will come unstuck (esp. what with its 'convexness' i.e. the natural tendency to want to spring up...)

 

Can't believe the detail we are getting in to here on little labels

 

You know it makes sense.

LOL!

 

Clive - can you pls do me one which says "Arming switch" .....just feelin a lil fast n furious mode.....You know what its for!

 

You gone all 007 and fitted guns to your car

 

Liking Madhammer's new investment (label machine)

 

Jealousy is a tough emotion to deal with old chap

 

Ok...lets redo it as "The Cannon" .....how's that sound?

 

Popped over to see Duncan today for some final tweaks and to sort the dual maps. All done now, thanks to Duncan. Got home and labelled switches up

 

Lovely for it to be warm enough for the solder to work this time LOL

Cheers mate - see you in the new year

 

"Lock and load!"

 

Helped that your hands weren't shaking this time

 

Those labels make it look like it was done by the manufacturer

 

You know it Steve

 

Few bits done this weekend. I had to get another set of headers for the drag car as old ones were cracked in many places. Got another HKS set but they needed porting as I think you can see in the pics.

Also removed oil cooler as that's not needed for a drag application, I will move this over to the Type R soon.

 

If your removing the oil cooler I take it your not going to enter this car into events like scooby sprint any more??
