Re: Central Day - 19th April - Santa Pod
lee.boy :285Andy :weather permiting i'll be there in the rs turbo powered pop i'll be on the surrey rs owners club stand would love to run it up the strip but i fear a gearbox explosion as its done about 100k miles in a old 1.8 cvh sierra estate, then i go and plant some rs turbo power through its ass hence i'll be taking it easy
thats sweet mate, what sorta power u running?
the weather's meant to be alrite
atm its a standard un-chipped OFAC ecu with 1.8 zvh and kent cvh34 cam, not 100% sure about what boost its using as the gauge is very untrust worthy. i have no idea what bhp it has as i genuinlly have no idea. but due to its complete lack of wieght, it does go like a cat with a firework up its arse

Re: Central Day - 19th April - Santa Pod
well my mate says he'll have time to finish welding my external w.g setup tommorow, he welded the flange on the wrong way round 1st time around
so once thats done and back in my hands all i gotta do is fit turbo, rad, intercooler, cossie pump, replace rear wheel bearing, get screamer pipe welded up, insure it, tax it, then hopefully spend saturday afternoon setting boost and giving it a good polish
if i dont get it done i dont know if i'll even come on sunday as it'll be too depressing lol

turquoise your correct but if you ask him im sure he'd say its blue, ask his missis its turquoise
anyhow, im not going now. i got too much to do really and wez has got the gearbox to fit back in his FRST so he'll probably be doing that if he's not working

Re: Central Day - 19th April - Santa Pod
well shes coming tommorow! (today)
todays been quite a day, sorted quite a few things so shes running all good...er had an engine bay fire, no joke proper flames licking up! was all my fault though but is sorted now and all soot cleaned lol.
wont be taking her on the strip as i never fitted my cossie pump so only running 11psi, so not gonna set any great times.
maybe see some of u guys there.
ps. is there anyway i can get my car inside the show without being on a stand/going on strip? seems a shame just to beach it in the public car park all day and not be able to show off my sweat and tears work lol

Nice to meet the ususal suspects today, I had a good day, bloody shattered though.
Thanks for the support too in firing ideas and techniques to me over the past few weeks.

Im surprised at the time tbh I can see how addictive it is now, never been into 1/4mile before...
