my final exams were in may so i do know jeff and the 1.6 zetec e's. infact it was final year that we did the engine lab where we stripped the head off, measured everything up and worked out the compression ratio...ours was about 0.5 out though as the pistons were pocketed...they weren't meant to be mind

we also had to time the cams up to non standard settings using some dial gauges and i ended up leading my team in that as most didnt know how and the others were too fucking lazy to tripple check. needless to say we were one of the few to get them spot on.

those vx220's only recently arived, some time during my final year.

Jeff is a good bloke, fucking shte organisational skills and doesnt know the maths behind stuff but what he knows he's shit hot at.

i managed to go to brunters with him and the group who were working on the bmw hand controls for testing. was my first time ever there and we ended up using my car as rescue vehicle as it kept breaking down...out with the laptop and a reset later and back on they go oh and while i remember jeff absolutely hates fucking about, should be ready and quite rightly so.

unfortunately my car wasn't 100% (steering wheel vibration turned out to be shagged drive shafts) so didn't go all out but did blast past the police at 110 mph which was fun and to see them flying about in their actavia's just makes me want one as they left their brakng VERY late and they cornered brilliantly!!

good luck with your degree mate, which one specifically are you doing and what year you in now??
