PM me your mobile number mate and i'll ring you tomorrow and tell you how to get rev counter (well - my thoughts anyway)

I wanna say thanks to blacky and wenny for letting me come with them to york. The van makes me laugh so much just looking at it. Its even funnier on the drag strip. Ive never had such a good laugh for ages ginge is so so so funny. The part when ginge smacked wenny round the head with his chomp was so funny. Thanks again lads.

leave it as it is & have some fun without it costing a fortune & being off the road more than on it

mk3cosworth · 24-03-2008, 09:15 PM

lol a little squirt might be ok,

no idea what bhp il get it on the rollers at some point, probs towards 400bhp

Glenn. · 24-03-2008, 09:18 PM

Yeh wenny just leave it as it is and try and keep it more usable. Put a bigger turbo on it but keep away from the nos.

mk3cosworth · 24-03-2008, 11:09 PM

a bigger turbo, i dont think so, ive got enough lag now

Will Pedley · 25-03-2008, 10:23 AM

Certainley doesn't need a bigger turbo - the one on there if anything is a bit too big...

Needs ALS

mk3cosworth · 25-03-2008, 06:50 PM

will dos als only work in first gear on the launch, ive got that to a T but its the lag 1st to 2nd gear were it struggles, i thought a small amount of nos might help it along
anyway im going to send the turbo back to be checked as its alot laggier then on the mk3 and that howling doesnt sound to cleaver lol

mk3cosworth · 28-03-2008, 12:11 AM

neil from fast ford came and done the feature on the van today, should be out on a couple of months, cheers neil

Glenn. · 29-03-2008, 05:55 PM

Blacky was telling me about fast ford coming. He said that you were nearly in trouble naughty naughty.

mk3cosworth · 08-04-2008, 06:10 PM

lol pain in the arse bobbies sometimes

got the turbo back and re-fitted, it had a lot of lag due to it being faulty but all seems fine now,

put one of those massive rev counters in today with the shift light, looks cheesy as but works a treat, got it out of a crap nova a while back, will fit a nice smaller one in the clocks when i find one

if its dry sunday should get 11s now i reckon

blacky. · 08-04-2008, 06:52 PM

lol get a pic on of this rev counter then

BRAM · 12-04-2008, 10:00 PM
