Basically the v-band woa kit 76r. Forged ie rods and je pistons uprated bearings with steel pins, intank pump and arp head bolts. Realistic finish would be mid feb. Dubtek are "massively" messing me around "hugely" delaying things. Think i will be asking for my money back tomorrow and having a chat with Alex see what he can do for me manifold side. Stevie.

I'm itching for the BSH tb pipe but I haven't got money to give to dubtek to not hear anything for weeks.
Heard a few stories like that now   :confused:

Hope you get it sorted mate, will be amazing when done

Cheers Mike. Its poor show, just go direct mate. See how i get on tomorrow. Just dont want to cancel my order then Alex cant help. Wait and see. Stevie.

Yea, fingers crossed.  I have a few bits I can be getting on with any way

Get yourself there Mike, it's a cracking day and you see some serious bits of kit too..  :drool:

And get humiliated even after ploughing £££££ into my ride   :ashamed:

Have to make sure enough money is left after moving to England next month. will be a mint day if I can make it like.

You wont get humiliated if i turn up in my little golf cart.  Ill most certainly get my ass kicked  :grin:  Mines not designed for this, but its worth a laugh

No such things as holidays here Mike, its not like normal places.  You get time off when theres space in the schedule for time off, otherwise, your away working

That's the impression I have.

I meant exercises/ tours but I'm guessing there will be Lots on.
Falklands for 6 months in spring was mentioned for my trade.

Silly question. Does the days price include more than one run? This will tempt me even more to get a remap done before the day. :driver:

Will be an ideal way to easy myself into the uk track day scene it's not 1/4 mile so a bit friendlier on the clutch too :)

And the queues are very short as it's very laid back. You certainly won't feel like you haven't got your money's worth...

'TOP SPEED' is a little misleading. It's more a case of what is the maximum speed you can reach on the 1.6 mile runway before you have to drop the anchors, rather than what the car will do totally maxed out..
Last year I only did 1 top speed run in my Stage 2+ ED30, due to the fact it only had OEM cooler and I was more interested in the 30-130mph time. IIRC my official GPS speed was about 157mph, with the speedo reading over 170mph. If I had done a few more runs and braked later, I dare say I could of got a little closer to 160mph, but not much more unless I wanted to end up in the back garden of a Marham resident..   :driver:

Good fun trying though..  :laugh:
