Rod,

I thought that the sponsorship deal with Toyo meant that you afford to spend '24/7' on it? Give it a go

easy to get it done to be there just to look like it will do the business if you trailer it up with all the right bits on in that time. i would help as it's local to me (3 miles away), but i am sadly not available. could be a good crack with everyone helping out get on it lads

If you want crazy paving we could lay some normal stuff then turn rich upside down and use his bald head to beat the slabs with, not like he'd get any uglier

They count for enough to be able to talk loads of birds into thinking a 3some with said ugly cunt is a good idea, which is more success than you've had while relying on your good looks

perfect for chip:

http://www.startyourowncult.com/



phil, the 400bhp engine went bang at the nurgurgring, i think it was all the power going thru it. makes rod's gasket problems seem inginificant

now it's running a standard 282bhp engine...


...altho strangely enough it feels exactly the same pace? wonder how that could be

Just any old YB purely to look like its complete, wouldnt even need a crank or rods or pistons etc, just a head and block and the manifolds etc, ie all the stuff you see from the outside.

Ive got a spare block we could use, or by the sounds of it, so has rod.

Rod said he wanted to take his car along to keep toyo happy, but was short of the resources to get it read so we offered to help.

a bunch of ppl not costing me anything to get a demostration car to an event

to ensure that sponsership was kept

i dont think thats a load of grief

much less than if they loose the sponsership IMO

You load of generous BASTARDS have made me feel so guilty, at 11 to day I got in my car & went to Marks. Told Mark I really ought to be there & he said when Deano has finished an EVO service you can use him for the rest of the day.
Well we built up an engine from every spares box in the place, such mods as 3 bearing crank, no clutch or Flywheel, No spec cams etc..

Left at 6 with the engine in the hole with all belts on. The graphic guy arrived at 4 ( had forgotten about him comming) so the car is now all stickered up. Will put Turbo on tomorrow & RS500 inlet cos aint got pipes for new inlet yet. Will also fit Loom etc.
It really did need you lot getting on my back to get me into action.
Chip about Daves trailor is that a deal cos my guy is not keen on the 320 mile round trip in a day.

In all honesty, if the track is wet, I am not racing. I have 888's on the car....and they arent exactly ideal wet weather tyres and I am not forking out for a set of more suitable tyres.

Id like to try for 200....but Im not doing it in the rain.

I havent booked the ferry yet.....and Im almost in 2 minds whether to do so now
