Well they have never said it to me and ive been usimng them for years. They have possibly never said it to Will either as we both personally know people at Prodrive and I know one of them recomended Central Blast to Will personally.

Sadly not, stopped for a pizza and some more reprogramming. Still got some gremlins to chase down, but we have 36psi midrange now which is somewhat more lively in the rain. Will do one more run now then its home to bed, up with baby at 5:30am so will have to resume the work tomorrow.

Right, this is a quick update in no particular order as i'm shattered having worked a fair few 16 hour days this week and just driven 300+ miles to pick up a new clutch!
So...
Modifying the front cam cap for the VVT delete:
Tapping an M6 hole:
Look closely, there's an M6 grub screw in there!
Then it was off to get the 888s fitted to the new rims:

20Rebuild/Image0191.jpg[/IMG]
Then on with making a start fitting the APs:
Some of you will have spotted the rotor is on the wrong way round, only because i've been mocking up how to mount a speed sensor in the mounting bracket:
(We'll come back to that when i've finished it!)
New nitrous bottle mounting bracket and quick release fasteners arrived:
Bit of time spent on the dash bits:
And modified a 2.0 Zetec cambelt cover:
Modified the coilpack bracket so No.4 lead wasn't rubbing on the aeroquip fitting:
Took the snout off the supercharger just to check for any damage on the gear teeth and put fresh oil in:
Then it was on with the final build:
Finishing up with this:
Hopefully blitz things a bit more this week!

Wenny - speak to you tomorrow
Paul - hopefully soon!
Todays work:
Stuck the old 17s on to move the car round - perfect justification of the new 18s lol
Then carpeted the boot floor:
And the rear doorcard area - i've got carbon doorcards (front and back) on order - they'll go over the top:
Then my mate Dave (davemurphy007) popped over and lent a hand putting the dash back in:
New gearknob and handbrake:
Dash centre section back in:
Clock section back in:
Go go footwell dave!
And just to massage his ego a little more:
End result:
More as it follows

Dashes are a bit of a twat to remove as well, perfectly doable, just make sure you don't need to go anywhere that day
Todays progress:
More as it happens!

Chris - LEGEND 
Right -today's progress...
Car went on holiday:
These bargain shiny bits arrived:
Then it was on with the APs:
Clearance is a little tight!
As you've probably seen - the new wheels are on!
Then it was time to fit the clutch:
Which meant the box could go on:
You can guess what's happening tomorrow?
