Agree. But you could've at least ranted the cock off it for a few months, just to shake it down, like.

Man that boy is getting a fooking bargain!

Still can't believe you're letting it go so soon. Never did see her in the flesh

I dunno how anyone else can contemplate building one though after your trials and tribulations!

Adam - just been reading the thread on the forum you frequent - adrenalintrip forums

Not really sure why some people on there think they are cosworth gods with the quote "it will need setting up every 3 months, and it will lunch itself if not maintained"

some arses on there, there really are

tempted to keep the car out of principle now

I can't stop grinning ear to ear... my heart is pumping double time, and that is the most amazing car i've ever driven

LOVE IT!

I've driven almost 60 miles in it now, its the best thing ever, the speed is phenominal!

I've been running it on low boost.. 13psi, then i switched it to 24psi... in a straight line

I'll be leaving it on low boost for now, thats all i'll say... FUCK ITS FAST!

Anyway, i'm off to bed, work in the morning!


Thanks Paul
