Well, just got back from a trip to Blackpool, James has done a cracking job, closed loop + wasted spark on and got the boost up to 32 peak, its a different car, drives soooo nicely now, now misbehaving at all on the way home, and used half the fuel to get home as it did to get there

Yeah, i think the same, trying to get my fogs out of the old bumper now, the one screws being a bitch!

Coil packs fooking awesome mate, its a different car, no hesitations or mucking about (i had never really noticed that it did any of it before), can drive at low rev's in traffic now, used to kangeroo all over the shop trying to do that, its just like a modern car! Seems better on fuel too, with the lambda

little up dates, it ran a 12.49 at central day, which is its best so far (12.7 last year), so im happy with that , i do think there may be a 12.3 in there though.
And i got some new stickers




I was looking for the usual "object in the mirror are closer than they appear" which i think is a kind of cool little thing, but they made me laugh!
Pics from pod, i did put another thread up with them in, but may aswell chuck a couple in here too.

May aswel just update this thread than start a new one.......
As some of you know, it went pop on the way home from classic ford this year, and has been sat looking sorry for itself since then on the drive.

But, it got pushed into the garage the other day, and a plan is now well in action, and it is hopefully going to see me with a hefty power increase, and probably a very, very dead transmission.

I know Kev knows the plan, but i will let on a bit more on Saturday, all being well
