Once again hats off to Frank for organising another cracking day out =D> =D>

Turned into an expensive day for me as my clutch started to slip on the rollers, Thought i'd take it nice and easy on the way home and only just made it 8-[ #-o

Ben - hurry up with THAT video - should be a great IMOC moment

Julian - nice to meet you mate - hope you had a good day overall despite your dissapointing figs... at least it gives you a starting point.

can only get better now !


The video is viewable in all its technicolour glory!!! I must admit it did look funny :whistle: One for the memory books :oops:

Thanks Frank I had a fantastic day, the figs will get better and like you say a starting point. Patrick assures me its the exhaust thats stifled the power and the baffle exiting at MACH speed illustrates the weak zorst.

Hopefully with a new zorst, the figs will be better!

I agree, no burger van or donuts- was more gutted at the lack of unhealthy food! Would have liked a nice greasy burger!!! :wink:

Love the pictures, shame i couldn't make it (just to watch)

What's the deal with that N/A without the heat shields over the exhaust?

Oh yeah ;-)

*_*

Heat Shields were a little extra weight and I wanted to show the manifold off. Considering that metal isn't the best shield against heat anyway and that the gap between the carbon lid and manifold is greater over stock, it seems to be fine. temp guage is lower than before :)


By the way

When is the J-Tuner Article coming out on this?!
