Default Doh was nearly the end...

Tonight the Saff was nearly no more Having a little play with a scooby over taking in out side lane, was slowing down as a roundabout was approaching. Obviously im approaching the roundabout fast than the van/little lorry was approaching, anyway next thing i knew he starts to pull in my lane No way was i stoping as although i got 6pots i got race pads which are shit until you get warm. And at this stage they was cold!! lol. Luckly last min he seen me while i squeezed through Shock me up a bit, as i was ---- ----- that close to being all over. The scooby went infront of me then, as went of the boil a bit. But then LONG sweeping corner to join M'way and he was infront and no way was i catch as third gear trying to come on boost but i had to hold off as back end was trying to overtake me Was good fun my car deffo fair bit quick than this Imported scoob, although it was quick fair play but managed to be able to pull on him ok ish with all my weight and my SECS faslhing at me because of High ACTS


No this leads me on too........ Ig im floor it with HIGH ACT's will i harm the engine or with it just retard the ignition and then lower the power?

Asked stu at MSD this when I picked my car up the other day,he said I would have no worries with my RS500 size alloy cooler

Sure he said cars running a standard 2wd intercooler can see temps into the 90's without problems

Had a chuckle about people pushing there cars to the strip at the pod
