Do we have a running order for the day? I’d expect we’ll be last again (and I notice there are a reasonable number of 200sx guys attending) – if so there’s not a great deal of sense in me arriving at the crack of dawn I don’t suppose? Unless you’re needing a hand are you?

Yeah no rush for you guys, we'll run the RWD cars first I reckon. Cheers Matt, but there will be three of us on so no more help is needed.

Matt, can I drop off my downpipe to have an extra lambda bung welded on please?

Baz, if when you get lost on the way to mine just give me a phone.

It's alright, you'll be cutting the day short anyway to pick bits of my engine out of the walls, rollers, computer and everyone standing around watching. \:D

Im afraid I won't be running as my new chip wont be here and there is no point getting the same result as last time I ran the car.

If i get a chance i'll pop along to see how things are going (and of course to see bits of B's engine in the walls!)

Good luck guys!

Thanks to the guys at Wallace Performance for freezing their butts off all day to run the cars (in particular thanks to Matty for not blowing my engine up).

I made 260 ish before it was running too lean and had to be aborted. An ECU reset then meant it was running ridiculously rich.

I think it was a fairly comprehensive win for th 200SX guys this time round, but nice of them to invite us along again. \:\)

Got some time now \:D . I got better results this time (though probably due to the temperatures rather than any modifications I had done,it was fccukin baltic!). The Coop made 232.4 bhp and 234.1 lbft (i`ll scan my printouts later) which i`m pleased with and will do me for the time being \:D . I was that pleased I even treated the Coop to a tankful of V-power,which is saying something for a T.A.B like me ;\) .

Had a slightly hairy moment with loss of traction in 5th gear \:o (it looked more wet than icy but I guess it was cold enough for black ice) on the road back home when I was coming out from Dundee on the A90,so I took it easy for the rest of the journey. And to top it all off on Sunday morning my handbrake had frozen on \:mad\: . It`s the first time I`ve had bother with it since changing the cables a year and a half ago.

I felt sorry for poor Matty,I thought working in my garage was cold until I seen him getting blast frozen with the fan. I bet they were glad for that Skylines flaming manifold for a bit of heat \:D .
