Nice meetin u and everyone else as well mate.

Big up to everyone who pulled over when I had heatshield problems (fowler 3 times!).

200.4bhp which is fair enough but is running well lean

Karan your tourer stole the show in more ways than 1!!

u boys went the wrong way at the cross roads!! u had to go straightover and loop round! I take it u didn't get too lost mate?

Post Sun Aug 14, 2005 5:21 pm

Yea I wondered where Adam was takin us..we did like a complete u-turn but was on the m-way after 5 mins of leavin u. Damn we got home quick (Adam got sucked in by a Skyline so naturally I had to keep up

)

Yeah was good to finally get my arse to another meet, it's been a while.

Was nice to put some more faces to names and talk E30!! Will hot up a few pics and a vid of Dave in the drift slag touring in a bit.

We didn't get too lost Si, I thought we might have gone the wrong way.

Those Skylines are f*cking fast, I was topping out at 155 and he was still pulling strong!

Was a good day, my first rolling road session!

Loved it.

Pete! Get the results up!

Couple of donuts in Karans touring!

LSD didn't really wanna lock up with three people in it though, and then some bloke told me off.

Excellent fun today!

Nice to meet you all lads, felt a bit sick when the bloke told me that he's never seen a car over fuelling so much

He said it's over fuelling as much as a Rover V8

Was not happy at all for my first run

But on a good note the weather was fantastic

And once my car is running right i'll be running more bhp than the 320i Cab :lol:

Post Sun Aug 14, 2005 6:47 pm

What figures was everyone getting? I'm interested to note how they compare to the factory figs

Post Sun Aug 14, 2005 10:14 pm

i need a new chip

Post Sun Aug 14, 2005 10:15 pm

Decent results there considering the age of our engines! I hope mine is putting out at least standard power.

Post Sun Aug 14, 2005 10:16 pm

wouldnt mind putting mine on the rollers. I can sense it being pretty low though. and IS lump with 150k aint gonna run too sweet. Not sure if mine will put much grunt out!

Need.....3.....5!
