Some people are muppets: I was watching an old programme about the new Fighter plane project, and the tender for it, on sky. The narrator said "The Boeing fighter is literally a dark horse" What a twat! I hate the over-use (inappropriate-use more like) of the word "literally" Like David Pleat in USA94 "that player literally only has one foot" :rofl:

"shit!.jpg" - PMSL!! :rofl: Yeah you wanna think of what other bits it'd be worth replacing/upgrading ;) while you there. Pete

What about the throttle cable cover sticker - you gonna put that back on?

What paint did you use Stu? Did you prime, paint then laquer? You're giving me ideas... ;) Cheers Pete

Why I aughta...! :slap:

yeah milk and 2 please :) you post feels like its got coins in it... :confused: nah nothing from the chocolate machine thanks...unless it's got any Taz bars left? And can you let Hayley know that the Horse woman rang cheers?

Hmmm - we gonna try this new potion when it comes out?

Yep thats right (uncanny :eek: ) Grrr -when I see that "Bill" I'll make him drink the fecking milk! There's some post here for you BTW...

Yeah that'd be good ta, dunno how old the milk is though, some muppet left it out last night :rolleyes:

Ah thats ok then, crisis over, I think ;) Stick this in the fax machine while you're downstairs would ya, cheers mate :)

FFS Jez - I cant send this now :rolleyes:

FFS!! :mad:

Mac you tease :( :D

Yeah good point lol, percentage would be best :) BTW I'm running 0 FWBHP :eek: :rofl: Oh..."flywheel BHP..." :o I'm at the stage where things get more expensive from now on, bigger brakes, intercoolers, boost controller, etc, etc :D Keeping my eye out for 2nd hand stuff ;) Am keeping myself happy with engine dressup bits every now and again at the mo:) Pete

I'm just putting some headed paper in...

Ah that makes sense I suppose :) Do they have a range of pressures they can work under, or is there a certain boost pressure which triggers the opening of the valve? I'm a cheapskate really :rofl:

Dunno much about them other than they sound good and I want some :D (eventually :rolleyes: ) Would I need 300ZX specific ones, or are they all (the top Jap brands anyway) universal? And could I buy 2 x a single dump valve (eg from a single turbo car) and whack them both on, as long as they are the same? Cheers :) Pete

I paid £30 + VAT to SE = £35.75 :) EDIT - £35.25 even... :rofl: Funny that you couldn't get it to spin :S. Mine was stock except for exhaust and decat when I first raced it, it still span like a bugger. Maybe you've got miles better tyres lol? Never thought of using the handbrake, but then mines crap and am sure it wont hold the car, but I'll try it :D What mods you got? I think we should have a SE Rolling Road Day sweepstake - pay an entry fee and the nearest guess to their own BHP output wins the pot? :D Could cheat by sneaking a session in early mind... Pete

Nice one :) I'm gonna quote that figure now when ever anyone says "Nice car, bet it drinks petrol..." :rolleyes: :D

LOL I think thats the right weight for the 2+2 TT. Actually an autobox might add a bit?? Yep I've got an auto, hard to launch without spinning on the line but practice makes perfick ;). I dont give any extra revs on the start line - tried that, too much spinning of tyres. In fact I've never been able to hold it with left foot on brake without messing it up. My best times have been using right foot brake then ease into right foot throttle til top end of first gear before full throttle all the way. A little bit of slippage helps, I've heard, as it makes sure the revs dont bog down. Right foot only tends to increase your reaction time (typically 1.0seconds which isn't that good really) but gives a quicker 1/4 mile time. I've had much quicker reaction times but it tends to mess up the actual start. Next time I'm going to sit on the line after the green light and really take my time. Saw a 911T do it and got a beautiful start and good time. Your reaction time is only important if you want to beat the guy next to you, irrelevant in 1/4 mile time :) Rambling again :D Pete

:rofl: yeah yeah ;)

This site says I've got 360BHP :D:D 106mph, 3460lbs.

Red please. Auto.

Hi mate, can you get me one of these? :D Preferably the 21 speed... Cheers Pete ;)

"Tuned up" WTF?? All sounds very non-descript :confused: Check out the additional information LOL :D :rolleyes:
