neil went and had a look yesterday and pretty much as expected theres a hole in the block at no.3.

cars at burgoynes in airth john neils going to try and nip in tomorrow and see if theres any obvious signs of cause i.e hole in block

still a bit too steep for me mate

aye i still cant beleive i blew up my engine trying to keep up greig

cant say the widebody 2 door hasn't crossed my mind lol.its a bit like when i wrote off the wrx i kept saying "right thats it moddings for mugs ,you'll no catch me doing that again"but we all know what happened next. yea steve did mention there was no rush for the service as you were working away mate thanks greig,sorry i didn't get the chance to have much of a chat today.no doubt catch up another time cheers si,dont know much about many cars but kinda got a bit of an idea on the scoobs now and like yourself you cant beat the satisfaction of knowing its done right

thanks again for all the kind words guys grant i really don't know what my next move will be,if i could buy the same car again as minted as the one i had then that would be my first choice.as already talked about by text i'm keeping my options open as per type r but it would need to be a minter of a fresh import or enthusiast owned car,just have to wait and see cheers greig,glad you were there today to advise thanks for the pics/vid chris see above lol,never been into the newage v classic thing but i reckon the bug spec c has the best of both worlds ie. not much heavier than a classic with a stronger chassis don't think the next one will be as heavily modified callum but can't see it being totally standard either. will have to start thinking of what i can do a bit different next time how's yours coming along?seen it at steves the last couple of times i've been through there. lovely car mate

same here,good stuff

pretty much fubar'd mate no mate caitlin wasn't there thankfully,though when i phoned to tell her what had happened she seemed quite relieved that she wouldn't have to pax in it again lol

cheers for all the replies folks not sure what started the fire and never will unfortunately.car was running fine,overboosting to 1.95bar but thats nothing excessive.felt like it had fuel cut or similar and then an almighty bang,no power and a big puff of white smoke stopped the car,first thought was oh well there goes the block,i'll get it towed home and plan the next stage. saw the amount of smoke still coming out the engine bay,jumped out the car and went to open the bonnet but the fire was well under way.too late,greig phoned the fire dudes and ahem 30mins later they turned to put out the fire by which time as you can imagine it was totally fecked. not sure what i'll do next,the spec c is a hard act to follow

as a few already know i had a bit of mishap earlier today with the spec c not the nicest of things standing watching your car deteriorate for 30 mins after all the time,effort and £ that went into it but thats life.

theres a few of us heading up tomorrow from the glasgow area if anyone wants to join us. we'll be meeting leaving the old inns at 8.30 1.borheed bomber 2.kirky killer 3.paisley pansy 4.basher

since your car is blue i would go for the dr motorsports one.if your car was another colour then i would have a different answer lol

be like zammo mate,just say no

only kidding of course

sounds like fun boys,just wish i could have made it along on sunday. got a rollcage to fit and crash helmet at the ready for the next run

awesome amount,well done had a pop at no.553 but unfortunately fell well short of the winning bid buyer looks like a collector of rare items,just hope not a wheeler/dealer

yea me too,might get ma head done

yea mate shinsinaki reckons it should take 2 bar ok but just have to see how it goes,would like to change the fuel mix and take the methanol out of the tank and inject it in to the inlet via the aquamist.considering this e85 stuff as an alternative to the toluene/methanol mix but not sure if it will give the same benefits?

should be a nice car to drive with that torque mate as for pads ferodo 2500's are good for the road,speak to alyn at as performance,he'll sort you out.next day delivery and top bloke. AS Performance 82 Imex Centre Station Lane Birtley Co. Durham DH3 1QT UK Telephone/Fax: 0191 410 3770

going fine mate and after speaking to that well known engine builder fron penicuik shinsinaki whitson im considering upping the boost a bit this year.

well since its that time of year when everyone is planning the next batch of mods,heres a few of my plans................................ should be good eh?

first 2.5 to be using Gas O Ring system?

good stuff,looking forward to see it in action this year

what are the manifold spacers made of john? the avcs heads will certainly help with low down torque/spool up.nice to see the newage cars were good for something lol
