Call me persistant.
Well went to my Bank first thing this morning, saw a very pleasant young lady & told her I could not believe it took 4 working days to transfer money. She asked her boss who said that a urgent business transfer would get their next working day (monday), however I read the small print & it said that if its done before 4pm it will be there on the same day, I point this out & she agreeded so it looks like its been done on the same day, so why do they say it cant be done, beats me, yes it cost but only £27.

 

good stuff! Banks are an arse, glad you got it sorted out and hopefully it arrives soon!

 

Wow a bigger Turbo, sounds good.
Prob is this part only costs £673 +£250 to ship. .

We will not be fitting a bigger Turbo cos it wont fit but it will be a different Spec one .

 

Yeah, same day BACS/Swift payments usually cost about 25 quid.

 

Happy days looks like it will meet your deadline

Why is it so difficult to buy something when u have the money maybe this is why the world economy is in such a state

but u can buy a house which u can't pay for

Strange!!!

Hi Rod, things look to be going well for ya, 2 things Bud.
1) If you're heading up to Brunters etc for testing and it's not through the mags let me know and I'll sort you some safety cover cheap cheap in exchange for a lil bit of advertising. (Hell I'd just like to be there when it does 215!)
2) Who's the photographer from TG mag, I know a few of em from the test track.

Andy

 

May need that will keep in touch, my contact with TG is the editor Bill Thomas.

 

Well my new part is on its way from the States .
Lets hope the Post Office this end dont lose it .
My uprated GT42 Turbo is also on its way , so lets get this show on the road.

 

When is the grand reveal going to be of the special part?

 

Maybe theres a couple of specail parts.

Mark

 

like more than one headgasket ?

 

Is that what your daddy told you to say

quickest way to keep the invites coming your way Jimbob

Mike

 

obviously someone cant take a joke
fuck some ppl are so up tight

 

no i just thought this thread was progressing nicely then comments like that are made

 

If it dont work I will say they didnt arrive .

 

Not me Jimbo, I understand your humour its a bit like mine so will always land you in the shite, Im laying coffees on for you & Mike so dont let me down .

 

LOL .

Fingers crossed for you !

 

i not sure if i dare come now after that comment i might get killed

 

Just read this, all the best with it guys, very interesting thread...always is.
Hope you meet your dead line.
Wish I had read it earlier as I would have helped out with the paypal side of things seeing as though im a verified user.

 

Hi rod.
Fingers crossed this time
My main interest is if the block / headgasket can stand the power, if it does, i will need to know the secret

 

good news Rod nice to see pushing the limits further and further

Russ

 

Hope it goes well for you all.

 

One of the new test parts turned up today

Mark

 

WOW!


Fair play mark, from what you were saying earlier you expect 900+ out of this mod OFF GAS?

 

Who told you about the ZET we were confident we were going to be the first to use it now our cover is blown.

 

250 mph at Brunters with the ZET

 

Dont exagerate Rich will run out of puff at about 243.781mph.

 

Nightmare , Nightmare , Nightmare.

The parts from the States arrived this morning, didnt know what was supposed to arrive so took them too mark. 50% is ok & just what the doctor ordered but the rest was a no go. Didnt hold out much hope of sorting it out when I phoned them in the timescale.
However he had supplied a part he considered would be best in our application, he still insists its what we should be useing & mod to suit, but its too late for that. Its thanksgiving overthere but hes going to sort it & hopefully can get it shipped tomorrow, if not he will travel to buy them & ship it on Monday. Good service methinks & several thousand miles away .

 

Rod,

Told you not to get too upset until you had spoken to him. Did seem like you had been done over, but im glad it has turned out ok or at least looks like it will turn out ok

 

Rod,
Glad you're getting it sorted, but where's my PM telling me what you've bought ?

 

Mike.

PM Sent with details.

(oh, im on your ignore list, so you might not be able to read it, oh well )

 

Its a special hair dryer that blows hot air directly into the inlet. It replaces the intercooler. HTH mate

 

Despite what you think, Rod is usually quite open with me .

 

 

How will I live?!

 

Is it possible for any thread that's anything to do with Mike, MAD, Rod, SCS, etc., to NOT turn to shit?

 

its going twin turbo

 

i think nothing Mike. I know Rod is quite open with you.

 

no, its one of the singl emost irritating things about this site

 

Between Mike & Myself it rarely turns to shite because I PM him if it blows up on here & sort it out . I have respect for Mike, he knows its his fault that I got hooked on Topspeed runs , I was present at Mikes 180.9 run a record at the time & was well impressed.
Dont always agree with Mike, but certainly he aint on my dislike list, only 2 people on that & they dont use this Forum these days.
