<< Senile maybe but not old mate. >> Na he's old as well dude, was too engrossed in Eastbenders the other night. (Think its Pat that does it for him) The Rover and the zip up slippers are on order. I'll get a slap for this post.

Sweeeet Jim. At long last my rear brakes have arrived, only took 7 months! Should have them on at weekend with new ebc red stuff pads.

Evening dudes.

Sweeeeeeeeeet. Just come up the balla in the snow, but had my trusty de-icer on!

<< It'd better not be a disappointment seeing as I'm off to get it now, and neither of you tarts have provided a full review of it in time! >> Sorry dude, just off to the hotel, I'll plug it in to the projector and play on the 150" screen with surround sound. Dave to Manager "Have to test the audio/visual equipment now and then dont you know".

<< just got the new GT4 game for the PS2.... >> Mornin dudes, just went down and bought a copy to beat the rush. Only I aint got a PS2 so I bought that to in the GT4 pack, slim line tart model. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Tim if you look in the new phone book there is a JP Window Films, does Auto tints Tel:479989.

<< Front mount? Super sweeeeeet! What make/where from? Have you got a piping kit with it dude or are you getting one custom made? Bin the MAF?! How can you do that dude? Cold air box - take it you mean like a cone filter but with its own section boxed inside the engine bay to keep nasty hot air out? So many questions! I want to see pictures of this little lot in progress - should be fantastic when it's done mate! >> Cheers Jim dude. Here's project taRt so far. lol Before Bumper Off Core Fitted Custom Core Pipe Work Test Fit After Lifters Fitted Boot 1 Boot 2 Boot 3 Resprayed Bumpers & Skirts 1 Resprayed Bumpers & Skirts 2 Goes in tomorrow for the insurance work on rear quarter, plus the wing mirrors and scoop are getting a fresh coat. Going to run on 3 bar map sensor instead of MAF. Aye as you say box it in and am thinking of putting water spray bottle in boot so I can get a bigger filter in. Also oredered whiteline solid droplinks front & rear, adjustable rear ARB, fixed front ARB, Anti Lift kit & rear caster bolts.

PMSL @ Paul dude, had'nt thought about that. Trip to Amsterdam needed. lol

<< Makes a nice loud SSHHCCCLUURP noise as it is boosting then the dumpvalve when you take your foot off. Noisy sweetness Dave! Bike is already in lots of little pieces in the Mrs' kitchen. Funds permitting (on account of spending a lot on the car the next month or two) the bike should be ready for TT. I hope anyway! >> Sweet Jim, should be joining in the Sshhcccluurping soon, when I get the front mount all piped up and bin the MAF and fit huge K&N in cold air box. Thats the best part taking it to bit's. Just been told month delay on my whiteline kit.

<< 6 weeks to do what i thought i would have 6 months to do and not for a year or so >> Can just see you in Bob the builder gear!

No throwing grapes at each other. lol Hope all goes well.

Evenin Jim dude. Bike looks sweet. So the leggy is snorting and farting like a goodin now.

<< Dont you have any shame???? >> Erm.......... Nope.

Evening dudes. << Not at all mate. Why myself and the good mr Custom have just been discussing it the old shed..... >> Only cos I sent him your No. yet again. (Note to Jon, must stop buying new phones every other week) lol But then I suppose I am the custom secretary.

<< What have you set your warnings to? Boost 1.4, only had 2 short runs, peaks at 1.2 Oil Press 1.5, idles at 2 when warm, but will drop just below if backing into garage & revs drop below normal tickover Oil temp 120 at the moment, need to lower, maybe to 100? Does the above sound right? >> Dude, I have my boost set to 1.2 as that is the peak for the standard car, that way I can tell when it overboosts as it does hit 1.3bar due to my mods. This is just a safety as I aint got a remap, if i had i would have it 0.1bar past peak. Oil Press I have mine at 2.5 bar car idles at 3. Oil Temp got mine at 115. I would set yours at 0.1 past 1.2bar so you can tell when it overboosts, or set it at 1.2bar so you can tell when you hit peak and how long you hold it, your choice. Oil Press 0.5 bar below warm idle so yours it set right, but your idle sounds a little low, what oil are you using? Oil grade determines the pressure in your system, I use Castrol RS 10W60 which gives me 3bar warm idle, this is also better for your engine. It's not a big problem but maybe on your next service put some Castrol RS or Motul 300v in. Oil Temp 110 - 120 depending on how hard you drive the car, plus how often do you want it beeping at you.

Mornin dudes.

Lol, was expecting that answer. You wont be able to keep us apart the whole trip. Now am in trouble.

<< << Lol dude, thats timing for you, and I was only joking >> Dave I was only joking when I agreed he could get them I think he took advantage when I'd had too much to drink >> I?m sure Paul wouldn?t do such a thing. Plan worked then dude. So now you're ready for my next box of tricks when you come over.

<< << You got those defi's yet? >> Dave Dude Just fitted this afternoon well pleased Defi's Paul >> Lol dude, thats timing for you, and I was only joking. They do look good, bet you will be shocked to find out how long your car really takes to warm up, I was. Needless to say water temp means nowt What have you set your warnings to?

Hi Tim, good question. Have you tried Trimtech in Ramsey? I know they do alloys but I think they do interior repairs etc so may well do tints. Otherwise would one of the better sign writers on the island be an option, dont see how tinting is much different to putting on vinyl.

Here's a pic of the WRC scooby running in the rally today. It only did the first stage then dropped out due to steering rack failure. not sweet.

<< Evening dudes, how are you all? Paul >> Good thanks Paul dude. You got those defi's yet?

<< Evening dudes! I watched a bit too but not that much. Could have had a mini convoy! Got a new aerial in so I could get the car washed at last today. Trying to sort of the patchy bits of black/chrome on mine too. Saw you in both your scoobs in one day Andi!! >> Someone must have crashed out big time dudes on the first stage as nowt came through for ages. Lol, we did have a mini convoy Jim. Andi in his blobeye, my mate Graham in his bugeye and me from the roundtable to St Johns service. Got a few looks when we pulled in to servive area. Good to hear the cars coming together Jim.

Long time no hear Tim, hope things are going well. As Nick said API has a good rep, you'll have no problems with them.
