Had to go to shi**y Brixton as the “road” wasn’t ready at Watton, the hole in the ground wasn’t right so Dave/Karl had to dig it themselves!They will have to leave Brixton by the end of this month when the lease expires, cant wait to visit the new place, it sounds superb [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif[/image]

don’t believe this…eek!

Dont panic, the new road is working and installed but all the cover plates are still at Brixton having just been powdered coated, yours will be at Watton [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif[/image]

Phil - to get the 220bhp [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/grin.gif[/image] what exactly have you had done?

13

Cheers Roy [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/grin.gif[/image], has Dave got your head then ?Simon,Head was ported by Dave Andrews, Piper 1227 cams with double valve springs and new caps, larger inlet and exhaust valves with colsibro valve guides, vernier cam pulleys, EBD manifold with SCRP and exhaust and of course an Emerald ECU. Throttle body “porting” carried out by me. [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif[/image]

It is amazing that in the past 5 years of buying a wide variety of auto’s, every one seems to be a bargain. eg. Lancia Integrale 5K, really 9k, Porsche Boxster, a snip at 25k, 4 grand under book (in reality, it was at book 29K, a BMW M3, unmissable at 10k, not so cheap at 13K however, an Exige too good to miss at 21k and a sound investment, maybe 22k was pricey. Not to mention a Cherokee which was a giveaway at 3.5K, well it would have been, but it was really 4.5k Not to mention the drop dead deals I got when selling them back into the trade. Every one a bargain…lolPS. Phil, hope this has not got you in trouble [image]http://www.exiges.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif[/image]
