lol

i had a decent chat with andy h about his fez and a few of the redline+fast ford lads, i had a few problems i'd liked to have sorted before coming (actuator and lower arms) but i just thought fook it see what it'll do! it can only get quicker
it needs a bit more pampering and setting up again, but im happy for a 1600cvh. i was only getting about 120ish top end but according to renton i was letting off after only 0.6 of a mile or so

great fun, hope to do it again as i know i'll smash my times

tell me about it , i was a bit nervous as it was my first time , i didnt wanna have one of those bentleys or porsches come screaming into me, my last run of the day felt great from start to finsh, it launched great and i just thought fook i'll keep my foot in,it as i know what it can do! it was off the clock when i broke , so i came back feeling pretty smug + renton jumps in the footwell to check the data and he says "erm i think we gotta prob, has your bag hit the computer when you lanched? its not logged it!" DOH!!

I just laughed and said fook knows, that was the last thing i was lookin at mate!
he offered me another crack but i was fooked and the coolant temps were getting high, so i left it. had an awesome time learning more about my cars stopping and handelling capablity in one afternoon than five years of driving on the road with it


once again thanks

Funny all the dis's the car is now getting

Ahwell, it was a propperly awesome car, not many engines do what that one did for the price thats for sure!

How much was the standard CVH rebuild I talked you out of getting Lewis? I forget, Four figures if memory serves!

That looks fantastic! Is that a Focus RS uprated manafold?

I suppose if it does go bang, can always get a new bottom end for it

Has no one noticed that the compressor housing has been anodised
Looks a bit if you ask me, but the manifold and wastgate look a million times better!!!
