[Andyp]

unlucky mate... jesus, that\'s a lot to go wrong at once... feel for ya

Can I suggest a mint card.. 10 months interest free! (250 a month)

If ya can\'t pay it off over 10 keep transfering it between credit cards so you get more free months

Dont joke about it Pogstar !

[Andyp]

best not happen, they are recording it haha

nah i\'ll treat her gently

[davefrith]

make sure you do andy, top speed challenges is where most blow ups seem to happen from what I read

How fast do you think it will go ? what mods you got ?

and get those some extra selotape on those skirts for the run

[Andyp]

well only got 2 miles so can\'t have it for that long.

Gonna do an oil change & put new plugs in...just done the belts about 400 miles ago

mods are the clutch, hks induction nout else really...

Been 160 in her already (kms obviously) seemed to sit fine at that though I felt like someone had thier foot stood on the car downforce felt quite wierd... had a lot more to it...which is why I need airfield

I treat my car with upmost respect anyway so I\'m not gonna be readlining it badly or anything

and my skirt has been bonded on, so yours is more likely to fly off if it\'s stuck with crappy kit tape that dies after a few years, cheeky arab

[davefrith]

well an induction kit is rumoured to add 100bhp so I think you\'ll crack 200mph easy

might come along and see ya run, what day is it ? where ?

kit tape ? moi ? nah bolted on weith big rusty screws mine is

Dave

[Andyp]

I got some cwest decals too... I think that\'ll push it way over 250mph

you may as well run slagger if ya coming all that way.. only £30 for as many runs as you like and it\'s limited to somminc like 80 cars.. there\'s a 1/4 mile and 2 miles top speed (guess a bit like ten of the best)

On a Saturday 28th of March I think... RAF Woodbridge... posted a thread somewhere on the meets page..

[davefrith]

ah its elvington, little bit too far for me

y\'know I don\'t like to drive my car very far

good luck mate
