Welcome back gaz how's everything goin?
It's nearly the first anniversary of the tree that got run over lol

 

[evogeof]

ay up gaz hows tricks and the family

 

[GAZ5EVO]

family is good, alisha's eyes are getting better, she is on different meds now for her arthritis. Debts have nearly gone from £6k to around £1200 in 3 months so thats all good just need to clear the last bit then save for a car.

my vectra would run rings round your car craig lol Has it been that long bloody hell.

martinthegooner I sold my car to clear debts but also as above my little girl has arthritis so putting family first.

Lee are you going to silverstone sprint? Im going up for a few passenger laps and have a laugh.

Geof hows your lot doing? knackered with work at mo, they are doing a shares things soon so might buy a few and try and make a few quid that way, company is always growing but dont understand anything about how it all works lol

 

[foxy lady x]

Welcome back stranger ! Glad lil one is doing well

 

[fq-craigus]

Ignorance is bliss lol, quiet ones to watch out for lol

Good to hear family is all good so soon be time to get an Evo aye

 

[GAZ5EVO]

we will see, feeling old at mo so might be time to buy a old man car must ask geof what one he recommends lol

hows your car coming along? are you near 400bhp yet? you just need a 3port and a remap you have a walbro pump dont ya and a decat? you should see near 380-390bhp at 1.7 bar like mine, chuck in a set of gsc s1 cams in and 400 will be there.

 

[GAZ5EVO]

foxy lady cheers never really left just took time out and had family stuff to do, going to silverstone sprint and oulton park so that will be good to catch up with people and might go to a big show this year as well if i have time.

 

[fq-craigus]

Yh I'm just waiting for the map properly now just stuff gets in the way like a new clutch at the moment grrr. Not sure what the car is currently running but it's running sweet (obviously before clutch slipped)

So what old man motor you thinkin of if you gonna ask geoff? A blue 9 maybe and keep it in a garage sorned off the road. Come along to fastshow buddy even if u just come up for the Sunday, will be a good weekend

 

[GAZ5EVO]

What bits have you fitted so far?
Yeah I'll ask geof how to make sure the car is fully covered and how make the battery doesn't die.
When is the fast show I might come up. Not sure what car to get might just get a diesel focus or something like that but it will be next year now before I get a good car.

 

[fq-craigus]

All stage 1 has been done uprated elbow, 3'' downpipe, decat, fuel pump, 3port installed not plummed but Dawes on the car in the interim fuel pump, lash adjusters, just every time I go for a map summat comes up.

24th 25th march it is mate a load of us will be stayin over night so will be worth a laugh at the state of some of us on the Sunday lol, and from pod I gotta get up to Boston on the Sunday I'll be ruined by the time I get there lol

 

[GAZ5EVO]

Why did you fit 3" downpipe, why change elbow, gather you did adjusters when you fixed engine? For 400bhp the standard elbow and downpipe are fine so could of saved some money there, did you get an apexi 3 port all you need to do is trim the two taps and it fits straight on then just need to run the pipes, cable tie it to the wiring harness that sits just under the air box not to metal unless it's with a boost controller. Get the car mapped to 1.7 bar and you will have a nice car, fit a set of e9 bilstein shocks and eibach springs and it will be perfect, then come take part in the mlr sprints.
Sounds like it should be fun at the show only prob it's the weekend before silverstone so doubt I'll be able to go family wouldn't be happy.

 

[fq-craigus]

Car breaths out a whole lot better with the 3'' opposed to 2.5 so needed doing, the car feels like it was holding back before but not any more. I'll plumb the 3 port in for the map I don't want to have actuator pressure in the meantime and to be honest the downpipe and elbow all in was only 110 so a bargain I just held out for the right deal. Lashes I did when engine went yeah, as I was told it was the lashes causing the problem, if only!!!!

Yh will be a good weekend, shame I can only limo my car there cos of the clutch but at least it will make it, jays car was temperamental last year for the show so I think it's a curse of the silver 8.

I prob won't be doing any sprints tbh I'll kill my car in a track im sure of it

 

[GAZ5EVO]

You won't kill your car on track trust me, you won't even get the car near the limit. The standard stuff is 2.75" not 2.5
I just want my car lol

 

[m7gsr]

Hello mate. Good to hear things are getting better, especially little one

 

[GAZ5EVO]

Cheers mate, she is getting there but she will have it for the rest of her life, strange thing is thou that if you see her you wouldn't think anything was up with her unless she is on a bad day
