Default taking my dads car to stu's in the morning **all fixed**

hope the weathers nice as I will no doubt spend the day in blackpool at the pleasure beach eating loads of ice creams!!

all while msd check the car out so my dad can use full boost for the first time since it's rebuild, it has took 2 years to do 1k running it in!! should be a quicker drive home

I think a 63 year old man with an RST sounds like a pretty cool geezer to have as a dad

lol he has always been into his fords ever since his ford rochdale sports car in the 60's and capri 2.8I about 8 years ago, his rst is my old car and has been in our family for over 12 years, mint is an understatement!






thats him on track at donno, he has fitted a pro alloy cooler over the winter but has re engineered it to refit the original spotlights as he is a stickler for originallity..

Matt Maybe he always wanted to call you Jesus but your mum got her own way and you was called matt. So now he is calling you Jesus as he never got over it? Lovely Sierra though mate.

twats!!!!!!!!!





anyway just got back, got there with no probs except for a missfire in high boost which was what I thought plug gaps and also my sat nav taking the piss near stu's place and sending me everywhere but the right way!!

kenny/stu found no real problems with the car and just adjusted a few things,give it a good run on the way home and it pulls very well, charge air temps kept below 50 degrees when driving hard so the pro alloy cooler works

big thanks to the msd lot, my dad had a big smile on his face when I got home in one piece with a car working how it should.
