Gumball

Parked up the s5oob last night after giving it a good run and noticed that the fuel warning light had come on and the mileage was clocking up towards the 180mile mark meaning "tanks empty piehead, more fuel needed" This morning as i decided to drive to KH and see this 1-3pm track session that was on, i allowed the car to heat up, watched the oil temp rise to the go mark and then once i was happy that it was good to go.............i floored it and the car made a crazy CHUG CHUG CHUG SPLUTTER SPLUTTER on boost. Immediately i had visions of the equipment that i was selling/have sold not being fit for sale and a whole world of pain awaiting me. I was on my way to fill up with optimax and knew that the car had an easy journey to the garage as the light had only just come on. Made it down to the M74 and headed for the east of the city when everytime i tried to keep the speed stable, it couldnt manage it. 70, 60, 50, 40, 30..........im now doing 30 on the M74 and the cars got vapours left. So as i felt for the first time the car run out of effort as the fuel remaining vanished. I pulled into the hard shoulder and turned the car off. SOmeone i knew phoned me at that precise time saying "did i just pass you ???" "yes..please buy me 5 litres of fuel, ive miscalculated having reset the ECU and more power burning more fuel" 5 litres of BP ULTIMATE later i was running off boost to the shell garage i had aimed for to begin with and had endured toots, and get it right up ye salutes from the passing village idiots[:'(] Lesson learned?? 1. Dont let the tank empty completely 2. Booster is fun and gets higher figures but is a nightmare to manage as even in emergencies your scared to use normal fuel. 3. the general populous like to see scoobs "broken/stopped" at the roadside as it seems to make them feel fast again"

goes very well indeed. []

went to KH this afternoon and it was snowing there but not lying. went to see "all the evos and subarus"?????????? and stood in the cold whilst one scoob and one evo went round amongst the goat mobiles.

1kg/cm2=1barboost 1barboost= 15psi

dont know what to be up to today. into glasgow around the shops for something to do lie on my couch and watch football go to KH not sure

Notice the event in the events section that is starting today at 1pm with jtuner. will this still be on or is there snow everywhere? whos going?

I think you would be better using double cream as an additive to red diesel like they used to do in the late 90's with optimax and booster. the octance levels gained from double cream and in some cases a macaroon bar are astounding. I would try putting the boost bar in your tank though, you should use that as we used to use defi gauges. if your running at half a boost bar then your usually ok and shouldnt see any engine noise/knocking. If you do though and your half a melon lights up then its time to back off the throttle. banana fritter anti-lag is a must for all cat pumpers

well thats a big help. the raffle wont be drwan at anything crazy like 7pm will it? "sorry guys i have to fly back early cos i dont want to miss the cheescake" "no worries, chris, get your P45 for afters"

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssss, west of scotland this time!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes, i can make it. what time does it start? i might not be back until 8pm

lol, thats how he managed it[] to be fair if duncy did want to drive it at those speeds then he could be my guest as i know he would allow it to heat up, can drive very well and knows its limits. No "6inch nail into a pan loaf" members can drive my car other than me of course[]

the cheescake is the easiest way to get more power in my experience. hence when asked on which mods one would aquire the answer could well be from now till eternity....."yeah thats a cheesecake rated to 1000calories"

This morning i sold a company an HP server. IBM said they would install and confirgure it FOC if they bought it from them.. SO instead of thinking outside the box for ways (similar to that in which they had done) i called all the commercial accounts and said it wasnt fair and i wasnt playing anymore. OR I said to myself, will i keep sanctuary within the marketplace and do what I CAN to ensure the business comes my way? I then realised that the competition wasnt trashing the market, but was infact using the various USP's *unique selling points" available to them to win the business. All was then fair in love and war. the marketplace was fluent, the consumers were happy with the pricing/quality ratio and we all had scrambled eggs for breakfast again.[]

have a good weekend, back on topic

LOL

hence the reason the car is only taken to hypertech.

nice photos, maybe you should repost in the burrel collection or the tate gallery. if anyone wants to go faster, quicker, safer and better, get you @ss to the for sale and wanted section pronto.

nice
