Roy

ah hah - a man that i can understand finally ... LOL

hey guys - looks like a split decision here, 2 for the afternoon and 2 for the evening of the 27th. unless i am very much mistaken, supraguy is a bit flexible on timing and i guess i could stretch to the evening too. if i may suggest, a late afternoon get together then ? hopefully a few more will come along ... so all we have to decide is where ? now the timing issue is resolved (hopefully) ...

supraguy - i was kinda leanin' towards a sort of late lunch-ish time meself ... maybe out by maidstone way ?

hhmmm - where have i heard this before ?

greenhouse - u crack me up ..............

right guys - it's time for pictures (and lots of 'em), well aside from Si's lil adventure (yes si - we all heard about it ) ... LOL. millhouse - i hear you are the devil in disguise ? you naughty boy you ! giving people treats they can't handle raoul - thanks for the blow-by-blow but need more details mate .. come on the rest of you - dunk, pulse, ash ....... give up the stories already .....

do exhausts have a running-in period ie. like brakes ?

just a thought guys n gals - if a few people are footloose on the weekend of the 27th (assuming that this southend thing gets shifted to the following weekend), what do you guys think of having a quiet lunch (if thats possible with you lot!) in kent somewhere - maybe a pub in maidstone ? it's a nice drive (if the weather holds!) and a chance to have a bit of food/pint n chat ? alternatively, if anyone has any other suggestions .....

fer you mate ......... anytime LOL.

chris - i am happy to push it back a week and i think if at all possible, you should attend as you started this so come on people, shall we say the weekend after ? all those who prefer 27th and those for the week after, put finger to keyboard 27th ==== 1) week after ======== 1) roy 2) geeza (cuz he's always free!) 3) 400bhp 4)

only the friendliest ....

with si's sat naff - you should be able to hit at least athens - by way of portugal if lucky .... .. ohh just about christmas time.

well at least we know you will find your way there n hopefully back! if left to that thickhead - you all will probably end up in st petersburg

millhouse/pulse - go get some sleep! someone needs to have their wits about them with that loony leading the convoy!

laff all u want u wanker cuz it is gonna be SUNNY in the SE ! u wudn't know a rave if it sat on yer schnozz n bit yer ...

enjoy guys ......... oh n pls have a beer for me

dude - that is one sweet pic in the avatar ......

i take it that there really isn't much else to do (other than what was discussed) but pray for reliability then ? thanks guys

he he - as long as they are sf's dude ... any of the tech gurus have any advice as far as this is concerned pls ?

alex - thats what i was led to believe as well hence the look-out for side-feeds ... which should fit the stock item unless i am mistaken? i am more worried about the engine not having an excuse not to perform within it's optimum parameters thats why i was wondering about things like oil n tranny coolers ... if that makes sense.

not overly mad but i guess 600-ish cc sized side-feeds would do it but i take your point about the fueling - doh, how did i miss that! i haven't budgeted the dosh yet but am looking to do things in stages (hence the order of mods question) so as to spare the wallet too much grief ...

isn't that one of those new-fangled super lite-weight gone-on-a-diet jobbies outta japan ?

evening guys - am coming to the end of a self-imposed 3 mth ban on spending any dosh on the supe (having spent a fair packet by my standards! already) and am looking for as much reliability as possible from the beast. i have the current mods so far (engine-wise) : hks type S i/c, 264 in/ex cams +gears, walbro pump, FCD/SLD, FSE, UK spec discs, blitz SUS induction, downpipe, hiper exhaust, blitz BC, racelogic TC, turbo silicone hose kit and i/c + rad hardpipes plus other bits n bobs like hks tt, braided brake and fuel hoses, s40i sparkies, defi gauges etc etc. i have the following coming in : new rad, safc 2, erl WI kit and a hks sqv bov. i have also been thinking of the following - bigger injectors, fuel rail, hks DLI, underdrive pulley (if applicable?) and i suppose ultimately a single or hybrid set-up i am trying to lay the groundwork for reliable power so what else do i need to consider / purchase ie oil/tranny coolers? proper air ducting? nose-cone? spark leads? undertray? does any of it have to be done in any particualr order ? any thoughts/suggestions would be most welcome - thanks...

amen - geeza, just fer a laff, shall we inform french customs that a certain unsalubrious member of the london underground will be making his way back from the hash capital of europe with bulging pockets ?

geeza - stop givin' away trade secrets mate ! whats your licence plate number then nick ? LOL ...
