Kev a look base line set up should see the suspension working better for straightline and then you'll know both settings so makes it good for track and drag action.

With regards FWD 60ft 1.9/2.0 is very good however I'd like to see more high 1.8 and low 1.9's, then on a full built car i see 1.5's possible however this would be far from cheap.

good luck mate , in the first six months is definatly the hardest, after that it eases slightly but you start to get a slightly easier ride, as stu say look after the pounds pal, they dont come easily, and as for employing people, its not so hard, just remember everyone is contracted, and every situation is in black and white, no if, no buts , oh and pay the Inland rev on time !!

Chip, when I get my LSD I'll see what they come down to. But I'll be interested in dropping it even more

I'm not planning on learning how to drive anytime soon

Thanks guys, with regards to the alarm and security my premises are already belled up very well indeed and a shutter door is being fitted on reception & offices so its all good

Once I get going I can start thinkin about membership discount but at the moment I'm planning on an amount of work disount, i.e anything over a day's labour to a Passionford Gold member will get reduced hourly rate after the first 8hrs. so example: 3-4day's to do a full multipoint cage will see 8hr@Ł30per hour and the following @Ł25 thats Ł40 per day labour saving, and Ł160 saving if you've booked in 5 days worth of work

Rscat how good is you tea?lol

Website is being done by my friends company.

good luck Danny,

I work with Stuart from Gastech, I'm sure hewill also wish you his best with your new venture

regarding 60ft times, I must be doing something right to be getting 2.03 60ft times on nan kang ditch finders,

if I could get that any lower then I would be well happy, if I launch any harder then I just get more wheelspin and worse 60ft times, seem to be fighting a losing battle at getting off the line properly, well thats how its feels anyway

done those times with 210 bhp xe on a 50 shot of gas,

run again at the weekend with the nitrous not working right and still managed 2 sec dead so was quite happy with that.

did wave at you when you drove past in the lighning, met you once when I popped to see Jeff with Stuart, got a white nova with perspex windows.

oh speaking of Jeff, hows he doing ?? I heard about what you told Jem Quality lol
