  1. Gary I have a P1 and I have been in the official P1 club/forum since Jan 06. P1 engines prove good if looked after and serviced. The most common prob is the Mass Air Flow sensor (MAF). When these fail its pot luck if the engine goes or not. We tend to stay clear of "foam" based filters and opt for cotton filters. Roger Clark Motorsport sell a different MAF sensor that proves more reliable. Olly Clark showed me the MAF replacement details on their computer and 82 regular MAF sensors had failed opposed to just 8 failures of their one. Most guys I know change the MAF once a year and stay out of trouble. Get a P1. You will not be disappointed and it's a good base for high end modifications.
  2. That black 420bhp was rapid and the driver "Melses" was a nice guy
  3. The car you are just about to see is powered by a rocket (not a jet). It belonged to Sammy Miller who had the car designed at Cape Canavral in USA. I have spoken to Sammy many times and the car IS 58,000 bhp. In the early 80's I saw him do the quarter mile where he went from 0 to 356mph in 3.56 seconds. It's an awesome machine when you see it go. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD-ODO8XOK0...feature=related
  4. This would be a laugh for taking your Nan to church on Sunday's
  5. "V12 Hilman Imp Roadster"

  7. Good day guys. Will be posting pics soon. For some unexplained reason my camera/PC connection is not working. On the case.
  8. A friend and I are going to time my car from 0 - 100mph as accurate as we can with a digital timer. We shall be doing it in the dry, me & friend in car, and a full tank of fuel. Nearest guess wins. Prize........ Buys the first round of drinks at the next large meeting.
  9. Here you go Daz
  10. Fudge <---- doing
  11. An option is "SPR Coachworks" at Uckfield. They do all my paint works and are faultless. www.sprcoachworks.co.uk ask for James or Darren. Check out their site. My car is on it and the orange TVR is my bests mates.
  12. k, The turbo will not be available until Oct / Nov time anyway Daz. Not sure if I told you but it's a Hybrid Garret RCM400 Turbo 1 of only 2 in existence. The other one is on a rally prepared Impreza in Wales I believe. It cost £1295 new and the new engine (as up to today's date has done 3003 miles). I guess it will have done approximately 5K by Oct Nov time. I will PM you a price to discuss. I will also have some other bits for sale at the time, ie 5 speed box / prop / drive shafts, diff's, and may be some other bits. The fuel system may be changed to achieve 630 bhp ? not sure yet. All of the suspension may require changing as well ? I will keep you informed, and I will hold what ever you want. If you don't require anything else, no probs. I will sell it all on the P1 forum no trouble.
  13. lol that was a laugh......bless, poor old Daz. I had better be nice to him now otherwise I am going to end giving him my turbo for pence. !
  14. Parking in the The Genital Complaints Clinic car park at Monson Road. Ran into surgery at alarming speed after parking. Could have been Stiggy ? .... not sure
  15. Please do not take offence Daz, but if you lost some weight fella you could use a stopwatch rather than a calendar when timing your 0 - 60's !

  18. I never realised the Mafia were in attendance ? (far right) Daz, I was telling you about my previous engine in the P1. This is it below and the present one
  19. I agree with Stiggy, it was no big deal where we were positioned. Thanks for your efforts Ian
  20. I have a way around the number plate issue on videos of the Tunnel Run. .......... make sure you are doing a minimum of 145mph........solved.
  21. Happy Birthday Fella
  22. Granby.... I fly to Toronto on the 15th June at 2.30pm. I don't think it will be worth me coming to Bromley. My wife booked the flight and I have only just found out. Sorry about that... I was looking forward to that
  23. Hi Granby. How much do I owe you? and could you PM your address again please. I have lost it !. Many thanks Mr S. Fudge
