Yeh good little meetup, food was amazing as usual. It's pretty central so I think we need a monthly meetup there haha. Also, it was soo good seeing your BG on the road Ant. Felt good to pop your bonnet, I haven't been able to enjoy my car for a few weeks now.

Yeh it was sounding kinda tough when I left. At least you fixed yours, I think I'm gonna need a new stud for the dump pipe where someone snapped/rounded it off at some stage. 3/4 is indeed bad in this situation.

I would say get a ride in derbs cuz his is actually a bpt motor with similar boost to what u will run....where mine is a turbo bp running 8psi so its boost really quick and hard but not as higher power

You'll be waiting at least 2 weeks, more like 4, until mine is back on the road.

I've got rogerstrampoline giving me a hand at some stage too. Not sure what I'm doing Sunday yet, but probably working on the car.

Yeh but there is barely enough room under my car for me, let alone Mat and Ant! Plus Ant told me last night where to put a pry bar to get this damn sump off so that should be easy peasy. My current holdup is the rear lower engine mount is fouling the k-frame from dropping out of the car and I haven't been able to crack either of the mounting bolts to the block to get it off. Every time I finally get something off, another part blocks the k-frame. I'm so bloody happy that at least I only have to do this once.

Ah OK, sweet. Sunday it is, I use Saturday to melt into my chair and burn out on random American reality shows.
