[Phil_G]

Phil

[techie]

Pic Slag MK3 eh?

No 1 and 2 being myself and Olly :)

Looks promising mate. And with my recent desision (after SlimJim gave me a talking to) to go for twin 40's this could be a good couple of 1.6's to challengs the XE's...lol.

OK maybe not but well bloody try :)

[dave.gsi]

r you buying the engine or the whole car. could be worth breaking

[Ben (lurk75)]

bring it on!

[Phil_G]

Ho,

whole car but TBH interior isnt up to much much and rest of the parts are available from your local breakers...

will see whats left then will let peeps know

gotta get past me first lol :P , on a different note we need more peeps to venture to the pod so we can get some good league tables up with a variety of engines and slips/times

lol..

that is an unenviable task in more ways than one :P:P:P

[Ben (lurk75)]

Get organising then Dan :lol: :lol: :lol: , im sure would be a good turnout, i am going straight there at the first possible chance when the engine is rebuilt and fitted.

[Dan]

good job lol, the small block valver fields are looking piss poor for no.s. It seems everyone is either ashamed of their times or cant be arsed :( . If i dont get some times soon it might get knocked on the head, but if we had tables then people could see benchmarks to aim for and beat.

[Ben (lurk75)]

nah i was refering to organsing a day at the pod :lol:

Well my 1600 16v will be added to the list asap (can add it now but time would be about 3 hours by means of pushing)

ill be at the pod after my new beast has been run in :D :D :D

[wisewood]

Phil - got your text yesterday mate, had no credit to reply though.
was gonna phone ya but figured it'd cost a fortune as i aint got your home phone only mobile number.

Keep us updated in a "big ades garage" style post matey - makes for interesting reading and we lost ades post by accident a while ago, so would be good to have a similar post for people to read to see the work that goes into creating something like that.

Don't worry Danny Boy, I'll be making my way past you soon enough ;)

Jim

[Tilly]

ooooooooh i feel a war lol.

i'll do it in me bog standard 1.6 lol except for shes being tempermental atm :cry:

[wisewood]

but we already know yours is about 15bhp higher than any normal bog standard gte Tilly - so its not really fair to call it standard coz there is obviously some sort of magic inside there somewhere.

[Tilly]

Thats the driver :lol: :lol:

[wisewood]

:lol:

Tilly's Magical Car - its a title for a tots tv episode surely :lol:

Tilly pulls a blue gte from 'sac magic' :lol:

[Tilly]

hahaha yup. what elsemight she have up her sleeve or in her "sac"

[wisewood]

a pint of stella - a bottle of budweiser ;) and about 8 pounds of flesh. :D

[Stuart]

any pictures of mentioned "sac" ?? lol


all you have to do to slow dan down is have a burger van half way down the strip ;)

[locky]

Lol@Cambridge! :lol:
Il get some times in, i got the van this weekend, so my car will b off the road so i can sort out this fuel tank problem! and sort the brakes!

[Dicko]

ill be heading towads the pod within the next month as soon as engine is in/run-in+mapeed :D

and whats this about ya 15bhp+ car tilly :-//

can we drill your airbox at billing :P

plzzzzzzzzzzzzz haha

[ade]

Phil - you planning on fixing the shell?

Was it rolled ?

Looks like someone went at it with a sledge hammer!

one of the pics looks like the doors buckled - if yer keeping the shell better make sure you get the kinks out the chassis.

But if it just for the parts/engine cool!

Keep us updated

And speaking of rebuilds...anyone know how Ians getting along with his?

[Ste_Nova]

the engine is as sweet as can be found (despite the mess) and shall be making its way to my friends garage where i will set about it and start to strip it down....

Phil

why strip a good engine unless u gotta fit new bits?

[Phil_G]

Hi,

i am..

quite what the engine is getting is going to be dependant on what it needs - and ade - it wus set about with a hedge on a narrow lane round here about a month ago... Not repairing this shell - just taking the engine for mine

Why strip a "good" engine? Not being funny about this but ask Mike Oxford - that was a "good" bottom end he was sold. With the extra stress of more power going thru it i figure it to be a good idea to remove some of the possible "weak links"



Phil

[wisewood]

and whats this about ya 15bhp+ car tilly :-//


you not remember Dicko??
she did rolling road and found her 100% standard gte engine was producing more bhp than it should be.

[Ben (lurk75)]

Amazing what little wink to the mechanic can do :o

Only jesting :lol: :lol: :lol:
