Joey the VNT boosted 205!

[padge]

hope all goes well tom, then again id darrens on it, im sure there will be no issues!

[Tom]

Just bought some running in oil and some Gulf Comp to drop in after a few hundred mile, also bought some oil filters and an air freshner! Phone the engine shop who are sourcing a headgasket for me, should get a call tomorrow about that, pay over the phone and they should drop it out to me

[Tom]

Got my headgasket and some new big end bearings cos mine arent the greatest.

[mr_fish]

Collecting some vital components there tom!

If Darren's got anything to do to the rebuild, you going to have complains from the council for ripping up the tarmac.

[Tom]

Thats precisely the reason the 205 is sat in his yard That and i know it'll be like a different car when i get it back. Getting boost withdrawel symptoms

[Dum-Dum]

Good progress mate. Hope she's back driving soon

[Tom]

Off to Lobb land with a box of goodys :p

[procta]

more toys tom, that's what I like to see! its getting closer now!

[c.gerrard]

Looking forward to seeing this at a few shows this year

All the best!

[Tom]

Im going to make pugfest or french car show, i promised myself i would save up beg cheat lie and steal so i can go to one of them.

I almost forgot what the bleddy car looked like. Tax is up end of this month aswell. Hopefully i get chance to drive it before then

[c.gerrard]

Why not both?

I hope not, seeming as it's your profile pic

its great when you push for a dead line, I managed to get the car on the road for its 20th birthday, and I did manage to make it to mg live and drive sliverstone circuit with the car too. so I managed to do all 3!

[Tom]

Money sadly. If i have loads of veg i could probably do it but i cant afford the fuel tbh. It'll be the first time i've doen either and i would love to go up the hill so im swaying towards pugfest, that and im only going to see peugeots and meet you lot.

Um yeah i meant seeing it with my own eyes, i got pictures to look at but they dont quite do it

Meh im not pushing for a deadline, just hoping Darren wants the car on the road as much as me aha.

[c.gerrard]

Tbh, if I had to choose one, I'd go for pugfest.

It's more about the cars, fcs feels fake.

I'll still go to it though!

[Chris_90]

Defo pugfest! So we can compare times up times up the hill if I'm aloud to go up the hill (sure the other half won't let me)

[Tom]

Im so keen for the hill!

[mr_fish]

hopefully see some diesel smoke going up the hill this year, I can only remember Jonny, Samass and Carl last year.

[Ricky]

I was never brave enough to take my XUD up the hill, be cooked by the end!

[mr_fish]

Thats my thoughts, but ought to give it a go

[Chris_90]

Just have the fans on permanently?

Not just the coolant, I mean things like EGT's. After having an EGT gauge in mine I realised how quickly it can shoot up to scary figures!

[c.gerrard]

Seriously lighten up!

What's the point in building these cars up if you're not going to have some proper fun with them????

[powerandtorque]

That man has a point - what's the point in tuning the engine to the point that you're scared to actually use it in anger in case it goes pop?

Prescott Hill is what - a 60 second or so run with each straight only a few seconds worth of full chat? That's pretty tame compared to a typical UK trackday, let alone say the 'Ring where you're at full chat for long periods of time (must be best part of 90 seconds on the uphill drag from Bergwerk to Karussell for example).

Hell, I can think of sections of road where you work the engine far harder than Prescott...

[Tom]

Yeah im going balls out, f*ck the car. No point putting all this effort into it to fanny it up the hill. Going to give it some barry thats for sure!

[Piggy]

Yeah Im not sure about taking mine on track but I will do a hill run for sure....its basically a 1or2min blast up a B-road...
Are we saying we dont give it the beans up a B-road everynow and again?!!!

[Tom]

I give it the beans on most roads.

[Carlos182]

I give it the beans on most roads.

Even when you don't have a car? :p

[Tom]

Yeah I just use someone else's car

[Ricky]

I always had fun in my XUD, I drove it hard. But for me personally there is a difference between having a laugh and knowingly sabotaging all the work that's gone into making the car what it is.

Didn't mean to start arguments though lol

Good lad

Yes, you did.

By implying that you had some kind of mechanical sympathy towards an xud, you angered us all greatly
