Blue Thunder will be back in action soon
Yo Peeps
I went down to Steve Scotts on Tuesday night to see how he was getting on with my engine , the engine is built and it's ready to be fitted
It's the built as the same spec as before nothing special that will do me
All i have to do is run it in , then take it back and they will give it the once over to make sure everything is ok
I will have to use the car as my everyday run about because the Focus wrc tdi has gone , atleast i will get use to it allover again
I might do a few practice sessions down the local track
lol
one of my gearboxes has been re-built by Tal Motorsport the gears have been shot peened polished with new bulkrings /bearings basically whole new kit , hopefully that should last a while
My Gripper lsd diff will be going in to Tal to be check over once i have run everything in ,basically the car will have all good running gear , the bearings shalfts were done in sept last yr so i know they are good
If i still have to car next yr , i'm going to treat myself to a low lag/high torque , 450/500 bhp engine with some good, rods pistons/cams/different head work and some trick bits 
I would like to thank Steve and everyone down at A1 rallysport massive thanks
Cheers Marco

Matt
i owe every one a ride ,
Listen Matt you can't just put any spring on any shock without knowing the rating of the shock eg: say 450/150 insert then i would say for rd 12" in height with a 2" helper spring and may be 400lbs or a bit less ........ it's so hard when it comes to suppension because it's like a personal setting .......what i run could be too hard or soft for you... .it's really a sore subject to be honest it' not that i don't want to tell it's just so fooking complicated to get involed with
