Seems I have an issue to fix now, intercooler keeps blowing a hose off :x :x Made the driver training yesterday a pain!
If it's the silicone hose blowing off, use some of the other half's hair spray t assemble the joint. Slips on easy and then sets like glue.:)

Mikalor clamps help too.

Gerry, done all that, need a longer silicon tube and going to get a bead of weld put on the end of the pipes.

I will be at the shakedown, for definate. Got the regs thro today.

PS, the surface is quite slippy, as I noted yesterday whilst going at 80mph fully sideways out of control!!!!! Plenty of space tho!

Just polished out some cone marks :roll:

80mph sideways and out of control sounds about right, well for you anyway :D

Cone rash is a symptom of North Weald. You ain't trying if there's no red on the car at the end of the day. :D

Curses. Just put a wideband on it and its running 12.5:1 on boost, too lean. And the loom has been relieved of the connectors required to put my management on it. Ah well, these are the joys!

96. Just need to fit a MAF and lambda and lose the GEMS (which is in every sense, horrible). Or get Simon to turn it richer briefly.......
