..... and I am told that BP Momentum is 99 RON at Tescos... not sure if it's the same everywhere... Spec K

Very distinctive.... bringing it to Brum? Spec K

I could be selling my current t/c in the New Year... would make a good buy for 'entry level' street cred or TSS.. Spec K

Good idea, Rob.... say, 1.30pm? I have a major operation to undertake in the morning.. gotta get my hair cut... Spec K

<sing> He's a lumberjack, he's into sticks.... he's also got a GT86.. </sing> Spec K

Get with the times? I'm not a snob - I'll stick with the Telegraph, thanks... Spec K

Tnx for the clarification, Rob/Lauren... ... I don't deal with this forrin weights/measures stuff, gimme a pound of bananas for 3shillings and 6pence, ta... Spec K

Yep.... agreed.. Spec K

Jeez! .... I'm still sitting in the ferkin car park!!!.... is it Friday already..? (2.30pm?... I shall be there a bit earlier, as it's my birthday weekend and I have nubile virgins to entertain.. well, in my dreams I do...) Spec K

Teg - you are a diamond! You've gone through the whole process.. warts and all... if anyone wants to learn a 'how to help others customise' you've shown the way, in my opinion... Respect, my friend... cannot wait, like Keethos, to see the finished item. Spec K

Thanks Mark - ( if it 'sounds even better' get back to technicals, please.. (haha)..) For the sake of clarification - 'cos I'm an idiot - can we please quote a 'Bar/psi' comparison? I believed 14psi = 1bar. Is that wrong? (As for quoting kg/cm2...??!!??.... eh?... what anabollock steroid are you overdosing on, Rob..? ) Spec K

... and yellow door handles..? With carbon mirrors..? Ick.. love the idea, hate the result... Spec K

Ghod! Don't those wheels look awful? Spec K

I just pass 'em on.... don't shoot the messenger... Bloke at a horse race whispers to Paddy next to him - " Do you want the winner of the next race?". Paddy replies "No tanks, oi've only got a small yard.." Paddy and Mick found three hand grenades and decided to take them to the police station. Mick - "What if one explodes before we get dere?" Paddy - "We'll lie and tell 'em we only found two.." A coachload of paddies on a mystery tour decided to run a sweepstake to guess where they were going.... the driver won £52... Joe says to Paddy - " Close your curtains the next time you're making love to the missus. Paddy. The whole street was watching and laughing at you yesterday" Paddy says " Well, the joke's on them because Oi wasn't even at home yesterday.." Paddy to k - "Christmas is on a Friday this year, Mick". Mick replies "Let's hope it's not the 13th..." The Irish have solved their fuel problems. They've imported 50 million tons of sand from Saudi Arabia and they're going to drill for their own oil.. Mick walks into Paddy's barn and finds him dancing naked in front of his Massey Ferguson. Mick says "Oi, Paddy, what ya doing?" Paddy replies " Well, me and Mary haven't been getting on in the bedroom lately and the therapist recommended I do something sexy to a tractor.." Spec K

Mark, what boost are you running your development car at? Spec K

Smudge.... you haven't said.... do you really, really like 'em..? Spec K

I don't think ".. most non-catted exhaust manifolds..that make power.." are noisier. Because you do not address the options that are available to avoid the death wish of voodoo pin-sticking neighbours... First question is n/a or f/i? With n/a my prototype (Abbey) decatted standard exhaust manifold produced an extra 5bhp and was no louder (when a hfc replaced the second cat). Abbey prototyped the non-catted 'standard' manifold which (I think) is still being used by Knightryder with his lumpy-grumpy... and Mark still has the jig if anyone is interested.. With f/i you go one of two routes. You will need better exhaust sound consideration with a s/c car but it's no big issue, just stick a bigger (longer) hfc (or two) and a resonator in the system and make sure the back box/silencers are efficient. With a turbo you have the intrinsic sound-deadening of the turbo... options are open. It is just such a simple, simple, job to cut/shut the midpipe and put an interim box/hfc in it. I would go for the hfc, of course... sound and emission reduction is good. I'm a duplicitous person, haha.. I may be totally wrong here but I'm sure someone told me that Cosworth had gone 2.75" on their exhausts. If that is correct please confirm... I have comment to make about this, as it is neither one thing nor the other. Spec K

Jamie - I reckon you're a nutter (1) running at 40psi cold..... that's 45psi hot.... yes, it will stop a modicum of sidewall flex but you will be doming the tread and losing grip in the corners... (1) yeah, well... we all know you're a nutter.... Spec K

Good wheels and tyres for a n/a car, Smudge.. and a good price.. .. I'd buy them myself if they were 9"-9.5".... Spec K

WARNING! This is a public service announcement Due to the rising frquency of human-lion encounters the Ministry of Fish and Wildlife, Inhambane Precinct, Moxambique, is advising hikers, humters, fishermen and any motorcyclists that use the outdoors for recreational or work-related functions to take extra precautions whilst in the bush. We recommend that all outdoorsmen wear little noisy bells on clothing in order to give advance warning to any lions in the vicinity. We also recommend anyone who freqently inhabits the rural areas to carry 'Pepper Spray' with him/her in case of an encopunter with a lion Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh lion activity and be able to tell the difference between lion cub shit and big lion shit. Lion cub shit is smaller and contains lots of berries and dassie fur. Big lion shit is larger, has bells in it and smells like pepper... Rnjoy your stay in Moxambique..

Very sad news, Nigel... Mum will need you around, so don't worry, we'll keep your place here warm for you... Spec K

Yes - there is a bottom tray which protects it. (Well - there is on the GT86....) I've driven more than 15,000 miles turbo'd (lowered 25mm) and there have been no issues attributable to road crap or detritus which have affected the turbo.... only problem's been my driving! Spec K

If I did that I'd want a sensor fitted that would flash the brake light mid-corner when the Golf/BMW idiot was three foot from my bumper..... Spec K

Peace and tranquility... ? Teg - 3D print it.... Spec K

Blurry spoilsport... ... some of us had great fun last year.... then I went and left all of mine in the hotel.. grandkid got zilch... Doh! Spec K
