I was speaking at great lengths to the phase 5 owner, his best 1/4 time was 12.2 before the Phase five kit was fitted, he hadnt tested it as was still running in- The guy was a student and worked for EDS part time in return for engine mods :lol:

Was definately going to pod today, obviously something happened on the way.

Got to say what an excellent marketing ploy by Regal to team up with EDS, Regal and Courtney stands next to each other and Regal was rammed all day with people- Only thing on Courtneys was tumbleweed :!:

Asked the Phase 5 owner why he hadnt strenghtend the engine bay when building the car, his answer was he wanted to run it as normal to see where the major stress areas were so he knew where to concerntrate on to strenghten it.

Has been running it for kk's of KM's and it hasnt given anywhere :|

We drove past it still in Northampton, near the fire station at about 5.30pm sat on the side of the road.

I seen that EDS twin engined Nova on the A43(?) on the out side of Northampton with Regals Astra Coupe Turbo behind it. Only Nova had hazard lights flashing strangley.
Also saw it idling on Sunday morning and looked good to go, then later in day it was fizzing round the on the VxlSCC stand with a bit of smoke from the one exhaust......

Apparewntly the eds lot did turn up at the pod at 3:30 but got refused entry because it was too busy.

Which is bollocks because the ATC nova was managing to get a run every 15 mins
