Default Massive thanks to Chip and Polly X

Chip drove 4 hours to Stu's house last night to help tinker with my bathtub to make sure I don't melt it at ND!!!!!

Him and stu worked all night fixing little bits and bobs and making it run sweet as a nut!

Car is soooooooooooo much better now after tonight (and Stu working on it all day saturday!!!!)

Misfire cured, rev limit increased, AFR checked, fuel pressure upped slightly, plugs changed, front arches re-attached!, rear body worked modified with Grp.A 909 WRC F1 Cable ties

and whilst Stu and chip did all that. I pulled off some stickers and read a magazine

All ready to rock and roll at National day now!!!

Thanks chaps!!!!

oh and massive thanks to Maria for fitting my shiny new gearknob!!! and putting up with the bathtub! Although secretly I think the little lego car is growing on her!!!!! She won't admit it though!!!

Maria has some new a new racing suit and racing booties arriving today!!! so everyone make sure they have their cameras at the ready on national day!

She has gone for black suit, black booties, black lid and black gloves! She is going to look like Miss Darth Vader!

Cars staying on a 1bar of boost on a little T3 until I can get new quiet exhaust... no point having lots of power and being stuck in the pits as too loud!!!!

Will be good for me and maria to learn the car with as well!

as to quote chip... 'Its very slow'

BUT it IS fun!

Then Car is going to Mart for new fuel system, ECU, coil packs, bigger injectors, bigger Turbo and general Martooon tinkering... and then it can have some Reyland stickers on it as well!

oh and we also took the wank dump valve off! it has some PROPER chatter now!!! sounds great!

I've got a hardon . Is it only me imagining her with nothing on underneath and the zip undone down to her naval (just like the USL picture, but a "little" better ) .

Need a picture of her and Claire together, suited and booted draped over each other . I'm just off to the toilet with my imagination and right hand .

Very cool little car, handles fantastically well IMHO, just needs more boosts, we can hopefully push a bit more through it before ND though

Surprised at how little you paid for it for how good it actually is, even if it is a little tatty looking in places, it certainly drives nicely.

I'm sure she will be back to her slim self once the sprog has dropped . So when that happens, if you could arrange for the above photo-shoot to take place, then almost the entire male PF population would be very grateful (with obvious exceptions) .

In the meantine, do you know what make the Stork is bringing you yet, or did you not want to know?

Not sure how it ended up so much about me, Stu did nearly all the work, I just looked at wideband gauge, drove a cool westy, and turned a FPR up a bit to stop it going lean, it wasnt exactly a big deal, it was stu lieing underneath it with no wheels on etc out on the driveway when I got there, the poor bloke seems to be getting ignored though despite being the main person actually helping Lee

That's because he's not as pretty as you (and by all accounts, that's saying something ) .

Yep, he's a legend, and if he ever wants to work on someones car slaving away again, and then needs someone to turn up at the end, do something trivial, and get all the thanks for it, count me in
