I did wonder what had happened to your car.

Glad to see you're not a quitter and that your Mrs is a keeper,well done Mrs Jedi.

I'm sure the lads @ Engine Tuner will see you on the road soon enough and look forward to reading your updates.

I went looking for the clip from Soulman then realised it was quite derogatory so removed the water mellon reference.

But you busted me.

if you show it her she needs to watch the whole film to get the context.

Great to see you back, I did wonder what happened.
It's true that, don't listen to the so called big names, when they can't be arsed, they really can't be arsed.
Good luck with part 2

Not been in your situation but know only too well the stress anger etc etc that goes on with these builds but the guys at engine tuner have a good reputation so hopefully you will be up and running in no time.

I am much happier now Having Alan take charge of my project,things have moved on quicker in the last few months that me and Alan have been communicating even before my car was there,then the nearly 3 years that it was with neil,i definitely know that enginetuner is where i should of taken it in the first place,but hey ho you have to live and learn and i have learnt!!!that's why my slowboy chapter has come to an "END" and is most certainly closed for Good.SJ.

Couple of hours i wishthat bloody A303 gives me nightmares.And about what needs doing on my project where do i start,So much things needed going over and parts that was fabricated for me by the other fellathat were supposed to be fit for purpose are just pure and utter junk,Now Alan has to do the fabrication properly,but the main thing is that Alan is keeping me informed and i know that my car is in safe and competent hands and will be back to me sooner rather then later.SJ.

Just a wee little update the CDF clear cam covers idea was discarded,after a revaluation of the look and durability concerns of them,they did look half descent but i decided to stay with the O.E covers which are tried and tested,anyway they were sold on to pablo from spain who simlpy loves them
CDF CLEAR CAM COVERS.

How my engine is with the O.E covers now,i personally think that it fits into the"DARK" look abit better.



I have more pictures to post up but not enough time in the day sorting them out,I will try to get more up of the work and modifications that needed doing by Alan posted up at a later date.SJ.
