st3ph3n Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Picked my car up this afternoon from Greers after dropping it off yesterday. Getting from Edinburgh to Glengarnock on a crippled train service was interesting.Back in my hands now with a nice new clutch and lightenned flywheel which means I can actually pull away from junctions without the car going jujujujujujujujujujujuuddery. They were quite impressed how much ..... eh, "use" .... a clutch on a 54 plate car had seen. Crail and knockers at their finest. Not sure how but the car seems to have lost the last two catalytic convertors whilst it was in too [] The noise is actually now down right insane with that H+S back box on the car. I tried to refrain from giving it too much welly before mapping on Monday, but had a couple of wee blasts that left me laughing like a mad man. Couple of sweet pops too. Car is now just about fully prepared for Monday. Uprated fuel pump, plugs and a wee Zero/Sports Cool Thermo in there too now. Bring it on. Also my big thanks to the inspector for sorting out getting my car into Greers, and for his wee lift back to Glasgow yesterday morning. He's both a gentlemen and a scholar. Oh and the price was tip top too!
gus the bus Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Nice one Stephen. Did the DP fit OK mate??? Paul was asking me about it the other day. Likes to know that folks are happy.[]
st3ph3n Posted March 9, 2007 Author Posted March 9, 2007 Yes Gus. No complaints from the fitting crew. The full project thank yous will be done on Monday afternoon when I return from Port Seton []

fai17 Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 It's was my pleasure[]and you're welcome anytime m8.... Stephen was sitting in the passenger sniggering away like a school boy when i puy my foot down in 2nd gear????[] I take it you like my chariot?
st3ph3n Posted March 9, 2007 Author Posted March 9, 2007 She goes well peter. Stops well too! Handles better now too I hear. It's very difficult to hold a conversation with you when I can't control my laughter at the great noise your car makes.
micra_wrc Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 good news st3ph3n. Cant help but notice the common denominator in both you and jimser's mods..... DCI Lee. i wonder whether your modding plans are hatched at the OSIDC.... guess Peter is more than just a restaurant owner []
sti pretender Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Must be something in the food. I said I wasn't modding the car since my first meal last week I've bought a backbox and had a strong urge to by a dump valve. Either that or he is a master of mind games.
ally-b Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 You must have had the 'PPP' - Peters Performance Pudding [] That alone is worth c25BHP [][] Al

Go on Robert, you know you want a dump valve! And I know of a very good Turbosmart one available! []
dipsy Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 I bet Stephen will have a bigger grin when Andy F has finnished maping his car
st3ph3n Posted March 11, 2007 Author Posted March 11, 2007 I hope so! 36 hours to go. tick tock tick tock
