Will be going to S.Wales t.day, only watching though as i'm on track the following week in Brunters.

Will be going to Trax instead of Croft as there are a good few of us and most prefer Trax.

See you at Trax Stretch.

Should be on another day.

Cheers Stretch, glad you're pleased with her!! Certainly goes well! (Yes 7200 was your car lol)

May I just add that you MUST NOT do any track days until you fit a mocal oil cooler. Go for either a 16 or 19 row. If you don't fit this you'll overheat the engine on track!!

See you soon!!

Please folk stop comparing mine and Stu's converted cars. We both work to a high standard and convert cars to what the customer asks for! It is'nt a case of who does the best conversion, we only do what the owners ask for!!! We're also good friends and I don't like the awkward situation it puts us in.

It's really starting to piss me off Stu. We get used as arguing tools (i.e. my tuner is better than yours) even though we ask for them not to!!

dumped Stu and I have discussed this. The person who has the faster car is he who asks for their car closer to the limit.

If Stu and I had our own way we'd set all cars to the same safe spec, but I'm affraid some owners ask for us to ring the ball bags off their cars.

Then I'm affraid its anyones guess how long it lasts!

Maybe we should do your "bridge run" on mountain bikes.. see who's really the fastest

















P.s.
Is there a pub near this bridge? And a taxi rank to get the bikes home in?

Matts one of those customers who always want more BOOOOOSSSSSTTTTTTT.

The trouble is where do I draw the line..................do I give him more boost at the expense of turbo life of keep within the safe limits of a T34.

If I keep it safe then you could deem the conversion not as fast as someone who runs a T34 past its working range!!! (i.e. as Tib used to lol )

Viscous circle and the only thing I can do is explain the options and leave the decision to the customer!!
