[ P.S guys I now have a WORKING 8track player fitted with speaker - I should be able to hear it to with that new single quite pack  That is a glass pack not a quite pack.. Still should be quiter than the dual cannons you had. Nice job Lee Dave Rhoads [/quote] I've called 'em dual Cop callers for years  No worries, I'm sure the glasspack will announce your arrival Lee  ~DR. |

i didn't get to have a good look at the new engine, cos i kept seeing you fly past. but i guess that's a good sign, then nice to hear and see you spinning the wheels while driving through the pitlane on sunday afternoon. and i was standing on the showground, can you imagine!! |

Hey Thanks dude - sorry I should have more time to chat - just too much to enjoy Well all I can say is I am VERY happy with the new set up - I went with 55idles/120mains/28 vents - 2 turns out on the mixture screws/air bypass and with some ver minor linkage adjust ment she idle'd at 1000rpm dead! ok it is running a little rich but its still waaaaaaaaay better than before  I must be gettin around 25mpg (very roughly) oh yeah and she pulls like a train I clocked 86.1mph on the sat nav in THIRD GEAR!!!!!! Those FV guys KNOW what they are doin! I was a little silly though and ran WITHOUT filters but hey you only live once I'll just have change the oil a little sonner Anyway she drove all the way there and back and ran a 15.8 (with loads of wheel spin!) and she didn't miss a single beat!!!!! I am well happy guys - SCC here we come If anyone has soome pic's from ebi that would be great as I didn't take a camera  |

oh yeah did I mention that............ the carb parts didn't turn up till friday well I got a letter at 11am saying I had to go pay customs charges, then we get pulled on the way back from there for no seat belts then I stripped a stud on the new race trim manifolds, THEN we blew off TWO HP1's and lost approx 3ltrs of oil over the garage floor so another trip to the shops for more oil and a Golf filter this time, then it turns out the cause of the oil pressure was a badly fitted hose end (by the hose shop!) so ANOTHER trip out for a hose repair (5pm friday afternoon!) then the dyno went down oh sorry I should have said I made a wrong conection (thanks Gav ) and after a couple hours tweaking she finally fired up properly at 9pm! So we gave her 2 test drives and at after a few more hours fiddling and CLEANING (after the filter incident) I finally left at 1am saturday moring drove through the night to dover and missed the 4am ferry by 10mins slept in the manx for about an hour and got the 6am ferry - I hit france at 9am local time and then nailed it to chimay and pulled in around 12noon - so there you have it 1hrs sleep in a manx in 36hrs Hey you only live once |

Cool I was hoping someone got a shot of us That was our first ever race against each other, and it turns out we are pretty even - Ok i got off the line first but I didn't pull away from Nicolas at all - I think I ran a 16.03 on that one with ALOT of wheel spin later on Sunday I got a 15.802 which I was VERY VERY happy with I am sure that there is a 14 in there somewhere as this is my FIRST tune up/setup and I feel sure there is a little more to come on a rolling road Plus I plan on fitting a pair of 13" spun ali rims to the front when I go to santa pod next time and I'll be taking off the front shocks AND fitting a Stinger - Wheelies here we come |
