No probs. It'll be a pleasure (that is if Phil lets me )

The engine and gearbox, is currently somewhere between Yorkshire and Essex. Just need someone to fit it for us (probably not Robbie this time)and give it a shakedown somewhere, then we'll be ready to rock & roll

I`ve got loads of tinkering to do on the Porsche picked it up 2 weeks ago now I think. And work has picked up so have`nt had time to play. Bought a noise meter only cheap about £20.00 so don`t know how good it is yet till I`ve tried it. But if you need to borrow no problem.
Phil might want first go this time LOL
I know Nate won`t need it this time.

Hopefully next year, need to find a new cat back but depends on how the wagon behaves over the winter. Cheapest option is probably a H&S scooby sport type I reckon.

I bet that was fun
I have stayed at the Hotel a few years back before the Splash pool thingy & was able to get in the park earlier. Are they still letting you in the park earlier or were you not up that early

they do still let you in early
but no during the scarefest
they give you a fast track pass instead
we had a complimentary fast pass due to earlier issues
its great to walk to the front of a 90minute queue
and just get straight on the ride
have to say the terror towers was great
favourite ride........Oblivion

Yeah that's a option, but would be quite restrictive, maybe I can find a back box that will bolt on to my nurspec system, hmm

Darc, get a new flange welded to a NewAge Sti box, would be the cheapest option. I have a 1 piece cat back so its a bit more expensive.

I think you might have troubles Darc.

I was told that only a Nur Spec R backbox will fit onto a Nur Spec R system, as Blitz put the back box to mid section connection in a place no others manufacturer do. (further back IIRC)

I could be wrong, but i am pretty sure this is the case.
