Att: Adamr & Andyp
I had the pleasure of being behing your car when it was run on both occasions, I was cleaning my shower this morning and found one of your pistons that I must have cleaned out of my hair, where do you want it sent back to? ;)

Att: Adamr & Andyp
I wasn't impressed being told that the rolling road notoriously read low. Especially seeing as I only went on to see if my car was running correctly, how did they work out the flywheel figure? was it just x+60? for manual and x+150 for auto? To me on a stock engine 20rwhp is a lot, o well I'm sure there must be a reasonably priced RR out there which is accurate.

Scorpion Alarms
After talking a freind of mine out of a clifford alarm he's thinking about a scorpion, has anyone got one fitted, do they do their jobs with minimal problems?

Att: Adamr & Andyp
Your car was like a hurricane adam when i was standing behind it :) I know you were dissapointed with your results, especially seeing the mod list, what were you expecting and what do you think the potential of the engine is?

Rear Main Seal Leak
Personally after seeing the engine block of a TT at the weekend I wouldnt add anything of the sort, there are some tiny holes which if blocked by something like this would mean having a serious bill. uprate your clutch and replace the seal ;) thats what im doing to mine

Autobox transmission loss
Pete, there were problems I believe with the RR handling the rundown on autoboxes, it managed to give it a to high flywheel figure, all that matters is what you are putting down on the road really though :) those figures should have been concentrated on.

exhaust
decat pipes :D might be wise to ask PaulC where he's ordering his from this week :)

RR day piccies
yeah your scanner bled a bit so its difficult to read, sorry m8 ;) I wasn't going on until 5minutes before I did, I "only" got 263@fly but im happier than a lot of people as I am now sure my stock motor is running sweet :). Next time it should defo have some top secret B.O.B mods on it ;) MY figures were 263.1BHP @ Flywheel 205 @ 5348rpm @ Wheels 278.6lbft @ 3675rpm apparently my torque curve is quite interesting for a manual, ill scan it in tomorrow.

RR day piccies
Sorry chrissy your flywheel figure is wrong, its still solid for an NA though, around 145BHP @ the wheels, seems close to jocks and cerinas

RR day piccies
I hit 263.1 @ flywheel only mod is a mongoose exhaust, I was quite pleased with that as I have been worried about my car for a few months reguarding power loss. Thanks to SMW1 for running a conzult on her on the saturday which showed her as running perfectly, gave me a bit more nerve to try out the rolling road. It was a scary experience but well worth it. A top weekend and was excellent to see a lot of the guys again. Thankyou Paul for not letting an old joke die ;). SE are apparently going to do this all again next spring in 6 months. I am hopeing for 300+ next time. Now I am pretty sure I have a solid base to build on theres no excuse ;). Bob and Pete at SE are also top guys. A big thankyou goes to them as well as the absent macca for arranging a top weekend.

Thank Fook for Honest People!!
lol had he parked it up in the same space ;) I think people have to little faith in humanity, I handed in £100 at tesco the other week, and when I worked there at college people always handed cash in, there are a lot of good people out there.

NSX.....Naaaaaa
they are similar spec to a 300zx but they don't have blowers, also no rust because of the aluminium, the ones with blowers are fast as foook though, someone posted upa video ages ago, rear mounted intercoolers as well :)
