it went pop just after we showed an evo 10 how to move but was caused by this, causing head gasket to go and dumped all the chamber pressure into water side not looking good for central now and just as we got to 2 bar on the t34 too

BOLLOCKS, sorry mate, looks like a new block from the picture! im not going to make it to central day any how now, fucking cars.

EDIT* Sorry thought i was looking at a picture of the block for some reason and the valve looked like a piston half way down the bore lol, so ignore the shite about the block!

head went off before in crazycages care so with his skills should all be fixed by wednesday then as long as all the other bits turn up on time build it thur map fri travel down to central sat and thats cutting it fine as you can appreciate, might only be on actuator pressure though as we're trying a new cam out this time though to see if midrange can be improved think most of the wot tunning will be done on pod with datalogs

thats the problem with trying to push so much through these old engines but thats part of the fun (when there working) seeing the newer hot hatches wondering why they can't shake this 20 year old escort of it's tail

it was a shame i missed 3 at first otherwise it'd of been even easier but less fun, the noise the header made was a bit scary at first like a tiny bomb going off under the bonnet

Got an email from the pod a few months ago saying you can take passengers up now, so you could get a trusted mate to drive whilst you map that what i was going to do before i realised my car would never be done in time

thats exactly what we're going to do but need to get it back together first and karlos we estimated that we must of been up around 270/80 by the duty on the greys and the way we pulled the evo etc in and a few other guages that we had but the proof is terminals at the pod

Yeah i think you must have been around that mate!
I'm a little annoyed that i've maxed the VXR ones out, but to be fair I was ragging the shit out of the turbo, so it's probably for the best anyway! lol
WHats the flow rate of the greys?

Gasket lifted and then the gases blowing across are concentrated on the edge and just cut through it like butter.
