Dan - a blinding specification, you are to be congratulated... Pitman's power runs were on a rolling road and it is unlikely that identical results will be gleaned from elsewhere. Mine (currently still with 2.5" exhaust) is developing 240-245bhp at the rear hubs which, allowing for my being an auto, estimates at 300-310bhp at the flywheel.. Your locality would make it very easy for you to use Mark at Abbey Motorsport for hub dyno runs... well worth it, in my opinion. Totally agree with Pitman - stay on Shell V-Power for optimum performance if that is what Adrian at Fensport re-maps you on.. I really look forward to meeting up with you - us turboheads have got to stick together!! Spec K

As a teenager I had a similar problem to you, Lauren, but I was in a grey MG Midget... ... used to attract the birds.... Spec K

Oooer.... I cannot personally see the rear wing/spoiler combo being of any mutual benefit. There's a huge distance between them.... those pillars must put the wing at roof height! Spec K

Lauren, I'd be very interested to hear of any Japanese 'tuners' who have done actual wind tunnel testing on aero kit... especially rear wings/spoilers.. Spec K

Hi Tom If you look on the Hayward & Scott website pix are on there.. I have some on my phone which I can send direct to you if you give me your mobile number (by PM) Yes - this is the complete system from where the manifold flange joins the overpipe right through to the (two) back boxes. Spec K

Keethos... my dear friend... have pity on a poor old man's eyes, will ya...? Red + white/black, White + black... passable... Diarrhoea Yellow + white/black, Polychrome Green + white/black... vomit-inducing...! It's a car, not a fashion page in Vogue... Spec K

Steve - I don't understand. What do you mean "... a word filter.." ? Spec K

One day teacher was talking about marriage in class... " Johnny, what kind of wife would you like?" " Miss, I wanna wife like the moon.." "Wow! What a choice!.... do you want her to be beautiful and calm like the moon?" "No Miss. I want her to arrive at night and disappear in the morning.." Spec K

'..drag..' is a UK phenomenon... men dressing as women and performing in public... <..snip..> I spent nearly an hour putting together the technical response to the above.. .. then I realised - it's not important. Rob275 has identified me as the 'clown'.. so no-one takes me seriously.. Will300 has identified me as the 'drunk'. So no-one takes me seriously - and he has probably fucked up my insurance premiums.. Thanks. Spec k

No worries Keethos... .. ginger ones are as common as muck.. <darfc> Spec K

In yer dreams, Mark... ... faster cars get dirtier quicker, you cannot defy the laws of physics.. Spec K

I always headlight flash if I see one coming towards me.. usually get a waved response.. (I presume they're indicating they've seen two.. ) ... quick hazard flash when I overtake another one on the road... Spec K

I have no issue with the other forum.... simply because I don't bother with it.. it would lose 90% of its contributors if someone started a 'GT86 Pimp My Ride/Best Polish Advice' forum... ... err, not that I'm suggesting Pitman should... Spec K

A false calumny! Shame on you, young Will .... verbally 'mugging' an old man like that.... and on a public forum! My landlord will be turning in his grave... Spec K

Whatd'ya mean, "club clown"..... !!! That is no way to address your elders, you young whippersnapper... I was phlebotomising (as well as taking the p*ss) before you started skool! HRRMPH...! Welcome GTB ! Mebbe see you having a fling at a Sprint or two? Let's face it, the suck-and-blow brigade are gonna need all the help they can get.. (Grumpy Old Man - where is it, Rob?) Spec K

Yesss.... GT86's and bridlepaths don't go well together... Spec K

Home is where the Herts meet..... C'mon, Faith! Get yer finger aaaht.... Spec K

Yep - I'm pretending mine's a Shelby Cobra... Spec K

I've got front and rear disks floating around somewhere, I think... although, didn't you have some off me, Alec? Spec K

Broken driveshafts? Spec K

I am not a fan of hoodies but I will admit that they really look the business and Lauren showed it off particularly well on Sunday... very impressed. Spec K

Congrats Matt.... ... now go enjoy! Spec K

Madness!! Sheer madness.. .... detached retinas, testicles in your throat and congealed snot packed in your sinuses... ... (shakes head in total bemusement) .... Spec K

Try Rich at RRG Macclesfield.... ... or nick one off a showroom forecourt... ( I use Bluetack - when the brake and rim gets hot the centre expands and the cap pops off... I've lost five 'Rota' caps...) Spec K

Hi Dave - welcome to the 'serious enthusiasts' side.... If you found Oulton awesome you'll find any of our trackdays/Sprints a blast.. Blyton in July, you know it makes sense.. .... ho yus, when we came of age we put away childish things - like polishing cloths, gummiefluger and whibble... Spec K
