Simple m8.
Sunday 11th July at noon (12u.00 for you) at the Carrefour parking.
Very easy to find --> exit 24 on the E34, take direction Turnhout, turn right at the 2nd set of lights, turn right onto the parking.
See you there.

Again a very small update.
Made a nice roadtrip today together with a mate of mine, Simon. He in the Skyline, myself in the Cossie. What a viewing we had. Well, all right --> Simon only. A Skyline is really a beast to see.
He had taken the G-Tech meter with him so that we could play with that tiny thing on a quiet piece of an industrial estate (except for that mister and his Merc E with Luxembourg license plates).
The results we got were pretty good although I had expected a better 0-62mph time.
Keep in mind though that the weather was horrific today for good power runs. Outside temperature was about 30°C
Power on the road --> 246bhp --> According to Simon, the transmission loss is about 23% which equates to about 320bhp at the flywheel. My experience tells me that you have to add about 100bhp to the power on the road figure. Nevertheless, it's a nice touch above 300bhp.
Torque --> 465Nm or 343lbf-ft
0-62mph = 5.3sec
1/4mile = 13.6sec
Please keep in mind that I've got ALOT of sympathy for the mechanical side of my Cossie so I didn't do a full bore launch on either run.

You can't, they are not available no more.
Thing is, they ain't accurate at all m8.
Gonna put in some other ones which do seem to be accurate and that also reads upto 2bar.
More pictures when that is done.

The new gauges are in and they are VERY accurate.
Boost gauge is almost spoton but the best part is that the speedo IS spot on. 200km/h on the speedo equals to 199km/h on the GPS system. I don't think that it can become any better then that.
Oh, and NO, they do not make a mph version although I'm gonna ask them that.

Where do you live m8?
Well, it's normal that you haven't seen it around as it hardly gets used.
Although I did a whole bunch of miles this weekend driving up and down to National Day.

That's indeed not too far from my place although it's more then the 15km m8, 18.7km to be exact.
She has been used more then enough in the last couple of dayz m8 including some playtime with exotics.
