uRaBu5 Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Chris, Car is sounding fantastic – are there any original bits left? How did it get on down the sunny East Coast? Derek
braveheart Posted September 19, 2008 Author Posted September 19, 2008 Chris,Car is sounding fantastic – are there any original bits left? How did it get on down the sunny East Coast? Derek Hi Derek, ye the car has alot of tranformation over the last 8 months, however has been g8t to watch the proggression with the car and watch my savings dissapear and to be honest all my thanks and appreciation goes to Stevie Whitson i cant say enough about him, and the time and effort he has took in building my car in between the other 5 cars hes building at the moment and even finished it 3 weeks before he should off so pat on the back to him, and also to Andy F for again another day of magic, I got a text from Stevie and said put it this way you wont stop grinning, and he is away to wash it to get all the dead flies of it lol so thats a good indication it all went well it was a new venture to try NOS and menathnol, and will see the diffrence when i take it out on the track and Knockhill. In Germany and will be home in 3 hours Then it will be time to Unleash the white lightning. Cant wait Regards Chris.
uRaBu5 Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Chris, Sounds fantastic – if not a tad mental!!! – in a good way though! Must agree with you about Steve, and only wish i had the cash to let him work on mine. When are you picking it up? Will watch out for you round the Penicuik/Bush area – probably be better listening mind you!! Have fun Derek PS Hope you manage to spend some time with the family as well!!

Will watch out for you round the Penicuik/Bush area – probably be better listening mind you!! Have fun Derek PS Hope you manage to spend some time with the family as well!! Hi Derek, got off the plane and the wife and my shadow was there to meet and greet, then straight to Stevie to get the car,ye she was pleased lol got too the garage the fisrst question i asked him what is it like, he just handed the keys over and said go and find out.... He showed me the set up of the new coilovers and all the other bits and bobs, exellent job need the geo set up properly tho deep down all i wanted to do is just jump in and drive so a few words of wisdom from Stevie is be carefull lol. got in the car and took it for a small run just to warm it up once warm, then time to see how well this runs and tbh shxt its hard to explain the distibution of power in this car amazing springs to mind, the set up with the NOS and methonal and the new remap the car is pulling and holding boost even longer and harder, cant believe the diffrence in the car. Just need to remember to add the methanol and the nos so i have a drum barrel the size of a house at Stevies garage just incase. I think ill be needing it though. Family is all well wife was ment to produce another wee McCrudden today soo its sit and wait out.. So you could say im happy

Hey Mikey, lets hope the weather holds out today, its Hot Marques today hours between 2pm-5-pm the Geo has not been set up with the new coilovers , just means i need to take things a bit slower , and convinse stevie to come into work let me have some methanol, when he said he ordered some i was expecting a couple of jerry cans not a Oil drum lol.Cheers for the kind words you will notive a massive diffrence from the last time. Regards remember you said if i go on you will you still up for that lol Regards Chris
