Kids eh?   Im glad im 21 and no longer associated with such childish behaviour :rolleyes:

Thankfully, at 33, I still haven\'t outgrown this loutish and foolish behaviour.

Maybe they\'re not being impatient but are sick of being gassed by the FDs rich emissions?

From what Pip said there wasn\'t a radiator in at the moment either.

Did it look like it\'ll be ready for the weekend?

8" in the air? So he got the hover mode working again! Tim told me about that in the same sentence that he told me it makes 900hp. See - it was all true.

Now I just need to get the flux capacitor working. :p

Does anyone produce a stainless steel bonnet - I might need the extra cooling.

Mine was pretty evil to be behind before xmas - engine on way out burning coolant.  Made your eyes water it did!

pmsl you know what i mean & er couldn\'t possibly comment on what state of rediness it would be in by the weekend as primarily i dunno booger all at the best of times let alone when it\'s all way over my head (both in terms of the magic hovering car & the silly big engine you got :p lol)
But i\'m sure it\'ll be worth the wait although have you got the bank manager on standby? http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/3/3_2_4.gif\' border=0> lol

Speaking as an essex boy and someone who used to (a long time ago!) buy alot of max powers.

i think your getting the \'up your @ss\' thing all wrong.  

if i see a quick car i\'m not familiar with the performance of, i\'ll get as close as i can hoping they\'ll want to show me up and floor it. surley you do the same if you see a ferrari etc...? obviously realise i\'m not gonna beat a 911 in my 90bhp saxo but want to see just how \'done\' i get....

Think of it as a food chain ---> the 1.1\'s annoy me, i annoy 2.0L\'s and upwards and they annoy the 1.3\'s...hang on a minute.....

To the best of my knowledge no FD has made over 300bhp on a Maha setup in Europe.

I have a printout at 284fly hp. But that was on old plugs with 2.25" exhaust with crush bent piping before the catback, stock IC and old plug wires.

Since then I installed 3" midpipe, 3" catback, new plug wires and PFS stock mount IC. As the weather clears I will be going back to the MAHA dyno with hopefully over 300bhp printout.

So that would actually mean my car is running just fine ? :p
