Nice Signature....But how come it's dropped from 428bhp when I had it.....to 420bhp..... And Karl didn't just build the head, he assemble the whole engine The only bit I did was put it in the car....So if it falls out, then I'll admit to that being my fault.

probably because the engine was still a bit tight still when you had it on the rollers....it's now making the power but at less boost

Clear indicators come with orange bulbs......Martin should have the set somewhere, coz it had clears on when I sold it too him.....I have another set of clears in the garage if you need them. You'll just have to wait four weeks till I get home.....LOL.

Plus I still have the two spare Hockenhiems with Brand New Falken 421's on, but I know when martin changed the tyres it handled better, but they'd be good as spares for the track etc.

If you don't need them, then I'll stick them on Flea Bay.

I'll sell them for the price of the two tyres.....They're brand new, I put them on the car when they were fitted, drove home and put the other set back on.....they've done less than ten miles.

I'll be driving past karls in about four weeks as I have to drive up to see my old mum. So we could meet there, or I could always meet you somewhere. I'll get together all the other bits, as they're no use to me.

I'm not suprised Martin sold it- as with everything thats any good you only have to mention it and someone will want it without the agro of selling privatly.

The car is one of those that is far tooooooo good to use everyday and if you did it would massivly devalue it.



But just so I can work this love triangle out.

Pete (staffi) has purchased Jim Greens old car from Budweis
RS Leigh has purchased Staffi's jap crap
Budweis (Martin) has Purchased Staffis old 3dr that RS Leigh purchased from Staffi

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


Ok I understand.


I am getting the bug again....... its not good.

Nutter came round in his mates moonstone 3dr the other day and just sitting in it (totally std 60k car) and going to Macdonalds made me all nostalgic and wet LOL...

Then I was over at Rich's at the weekend and my old car (White Saph 4x4) was sat outside his garage as he is prepin it for the head going back on- he;d been moaning it was looking sorry for its self as it hadn't been on the road for a year but you could just tell it was still good under the dirt and dust...

Hmmmmm..... gonna have to give it a few months of the new job first and look at selling the clio- down grading to somet really really shit and then getting another cossie....



HMMMMM Somet about I wanted to buy a house too.
