bhp question
Aye mine was at 479 RWHP and MACS was at 505 RWHP, from memory Boomin's car was at 530 but thats not at the wheels as his turbos would not do that at 1.2 bar so at a rough guess his is running at 1.2 bar arounf 450-460 RWHP. I know the guy i bought a plenum off is running about 500 at the wheels as well but he doesnt come on here and i believe theres a car being built in this country with a similar spec to mine with 20g turbos!! so like me will be looking for over 600 at the wheels :) Once ive finished building mine, i'm (well my dad) building someone elses project which should see 550 at the wheels in a slicktop ;) so that should be interesting The futures bright

Campsite Recommendations??
As its pretty late to book anything major we have decided camping is the only thing we can do for a quick cheapish holiday. So if anyone can recommend any sites they have been to with good facilities, lots to do close by or within a reasonable drive. Cheers Mike

BMW X5 - Any good?
i think in all honesty its not the car, to have a 4x4 is now a status symbol rather than whats the best car for the job lmao Mike

Exactly at the end of the day its a job, yes they love what they do buts its still a job and they have (if there lucky) a 10 year window to earn as much money as possible to secure a future for themselves so as i said before if your offered more money, a better job ie like a promotion would you turn it down??

oil dipstick ???
you need to do a leak down test as it shouldnt be pushing the dipstick out, its usually caused by the PCV's being blocked then it cant remove the pressure from the cams which makes its way through old piston rings into the crank and once its builds up it has to come out somewhere so it can make its way up the dipstick or if your really unlucky it can blow the rear crank seal get yourself a leak down tester, i got mine from ebay Mike

timing
are you saying the timing changes as your revving it? because the timing does increase up the rev range and is only 15TDC at idle :) Mike

Was Carrick right to leave Spurs and go to Man Utd?
LMAO well what have spurs won of late?? yes there an improving team but still not in the same class as the top 4 teams yet man u are not the same team they used to be but as it stands taking chelsea out of the equation man u are still the best team in this country and in the champions league etc i agree he was too expensive but he wasnt 18m but 14m but still a good 6m too much IMHO Mike

Guess My Bhp / Torque ??
Loss on a RWD car should only be approx 15% maybe a little more but not much so looks spot on Scoobies and Evos only tend to work on 25% loss with 4WD Mike
-
Was Carrick right to leave Spurs and go to Man Utd?
