Ebay postage costs
How the **** do ebay traders get away with charging the postage they do - I reckon they profit more from overstating the postage costs than selling the ****ing item :mad: Like decals - cost eg $2 plus "shipping" - $3.50 - WTF??! Its a piece of sticky paper!! Stamps over here cost 28p you tosser! Rant over Pete

8yr old sod!
Nearly forgot about this... Queuing to race yesterday, a little lad came up to me (standing by the car) and said "Excuse me, could you write dwon what make your car is please?" "Sure little fella" or something ;) I said...feeling complimented and proud. Took the pen and paper off him, went to click the pen and got a fecking electric shock off it :mad: He, and other people around, fell about laughing as I yelped in pain and shock. Little sod! :D:D Funny though

They're for sale on ebay for around $7 IIRC. Nice sig mate :D
-
Woohoo - new PB!
Hmm you may have a point there, I remember hearing a capri owner mentioning putting sandbags in the boot once to keep the grip on the rears :eek: Dunno whether the reduced mass or the extra grip would be preferable? Cos - yep the new wheels were clearly the main improvement :D
-
Woohoo - new PB!
Stu - £10 to get in per person (not car :rolleyes: ) and £15 for unlimited runs. It was the busiest I've ever seen it today - doubt anyone got more then 5 runs. Mods to do with power ;) - Quad Mongoose exhausts, SS decat pipes, Stillen intake, ALC, JD Custom chip, boost jets - running 12psi. "Mods" LOL to do with mass reduction ;) I removed the spare wheel and had just enough petrol to get me to the BP garage on the A45 on the way home :D Pete

Woohoo - new PB!
Evening all :) Went to Santa Pod today and had mixed results... First run - something badly wrong :S Half way through 2nd gear the revs shot up and it felt like the clutch was slipping big time. No pull on the car at all from 60mph :( Trickled through in 17.06s @ 58mph :eek: I actually decelerately from half way. Driving back to the carpark the car felt v odd, still not biting properly. I shut down, checking for fluid loss, smells etc - nothing. Pulled the pass footplate up and fiddled with the Autobox ECU connectors, pushing them together. Car ran better and felt normal after that so I had another run...also thought maybe the power selection had something to do with it - I hadn't clicked power on since the new chip went in :confused: Second run - Felt loads better, used o/drive off but not "power", well until 3/4 of the way went it felt like it hit some sort of limited, I backed off then applied power again and finished fine :confused: 14.36s @ 95.4mph Had my numberplate removed for this run. Right, now the problem definately felt ECU related so I unscrewed the autobox ECU and ALC, checked all the pins, and refitted. Third run Sweeeet! :D Ran with numberplate back on, o/drive off and no power button again. Killed an M3 and finished with 13.517s @ 106.23mph :D:D Well chuffed. Wasn't a perfect run either, bit of wheelspin changing to 2nd and a slowish start, so I'm sure it can be improved :) Hopefully it was a dodgy ECU connection which was throwing up the gremlins. I'll try booting it with "power" on at some point - but can this interfere with the chip?? The revs rose and rose but no acceleration? Very odd. Happy ending though ;) Cheers Pete

99 Spec rears on a red zed?
:D Take this example - I got a boll0cking for ordering my oil cap last week, then another boll0cking when it arrived :rolleyes: :D - and that was £20 FFS! Spent over a grand on it last month on wheels and repairs and other bits so she's getting a bit mardy now.
