Way things are going personally i'd stay well clear of diesels.

For those who arn't aware there is a monthly modified car meet at a pub called MFN (middle of F'ing knowhere) near nottingham (eastwood to be exact). First one of the season is Sunday 2nd April from 5pm till 10. Cost is £2 per person and its normally a good larf and see some proper chavs to point and larf at hahahaha Its a Static show so park up and wander, no live action stuff. The bar will be open as usual (just remember about not drinking and driving) and there's always food stands etc. Other thing to note is it happens every month for the past 10 years+ and the police are well aware of it and do tend to attend. Behave and make sure your legal and they are fine and they tend to have a good chat (you'd be amazed how many patrol officers are petrol heads as well ;) ) http://www.mfn-club.co.uk/Home.html There's a big ikea nearby with parking so we can meet up before hand, ( Giltbrook Retail Park, Ikea Way , NG16 2RP, Giltbrook ) plan would be meet up at 4.15/4.30 and to head out at 4.45 to get the best parking spot. Watch out for updates because last year first one was delayed a month due to bad weather List of people going, 1.Tidgy 2.Rps chesterfield 3.Allistair 4.DaveRAC 5.Rybo89 6. 7.Kyle (Tidgys mate, yes i do have some :p, in his Jag F type R) 8.Eddy (Tidgys mate, New Honda civic Type R, yes i have hurled abuse at him) 9.Jonno (Tidgys mate, V8 Mustang) 10. Anja (Tidgys mates mrs, Boxster S)

i'll set up a meet thread.

Doesn't make any difference i'm afraid, its just pot luck. If you can find a forged one though your larfing. If you dont mind having a rebuild then 2.5 is fine, built right they have loads of potential and make a better road engine than the 2.0 imo. Just depends if you want to go that route or not

J26 is easier one to get to it from :) we can set a meet point before hand anyway. Prob ikea at eastwood

welcome

hahaha, is that the polo mint version? you know with holes?

hahaha :D

If folks are up for it i'll have a chat with Kev up at clinic about prices and potential dates etc Last one was a charity RR day and a mix of cars, was a good larf actualy.

haha :D

That blackbird that tried to race me didnt do so well. Volvo 1, Blackbird 0,,,,,,,,,,, Pretty sure it was DOA after the volvo hit it :(

If i can yeah mate. Only about 4 miles from my house haha

Did you get one of the SCR branded ones? They add an extra 5bhp,,,,,,, hehe

So new one was ordered wednesday, The new blue isn;t very nice, more like polestar volvo blue, so this time he having a dark blue one, Almost DMB from the old classics. Be a few weeks till he gets it but heres some pics of his sorry looking old one :( Back didnt look too bad externaly, but boot was creased, Front end wasnt so good, front right corner was a proper mess.

nah about going rate, none widetrack and the guy's excuse for selling it is **** poor, plus advert is very dubious with information, RCM don't do an ecu.

Noice noice, front mount keeps temps down which helps map in a bit more timing.

Glad you got your money back chap, at least it draws a line under it

Depends on car and mods tbh, standard vs mapped will see an improvement because mapper can lean the mix out off boost so will use less fuel.

April 2nd according to the FB page, bit weather dependant though, last year first one was a wash out so was canceled

If get enough could always have a RR day :)

Shall do.

no mate, repair will was 14k and we noticed that was a load of bits and work missed off so just not worth it. Also dont think it would ever be right given the hit it had

So, was indeed written off. Dads been to put order down on a new one today haha

US has a very different way of tuning for some reason, they seem to get away with alot more than we do.

Becasue most in america get a cobb access port and tweak the map themselves. Open source software is typically ripped off ecutek software from america ironicly
