Seeing as almost everyone I know (or work with) is on here, I thought I may as well join! :lol:

Ok I may be a track virgin, but I have every intention of getting out on there when the car's up to it.... which involves spending more money..... of which I have none...

Stuart- Don't worry about the "text-type" username- it's my Xbox gamertag and PassionFord/Fiatforum name so those that know me will recognize it (Christian/Gary@APT, Jason + Chris at work, and Maff). None of that text-talk rubbish here mate!

My car- Ford XR3i Turbo (yeah, I know.... stop sniggering...)
Spec- APT low comp 1600, lightened/balanced bottom-end, standard top-end with Newman cam, Cossie-spec T3, VEMs management, Denso injectors, GRS intercooler, Focus ST170 300mm front brakes, etc

216Bhp (fly), 181Bhp (wheels) @ 1.15bar boost.

Dont worry mate, this club isnt about what type of car you have its more about how you use it.
216bhp from an XR3i is good work mate !!!

Get some pics up.

Welcome to Big Power and am sure we will be running a 'Trackday Virgins only' evening next year.

Danny boyeeeeeeeeeeeee
Welcome to the place we call home..
Just for everyone else info Danny is very modest about his car :?
Its a very cool minty motor with respectable power (Given that its a Ford :-D

)
I work with Danny and his work ethics show through with his personal car I love it and I am pretty sure most of you will think the same
Once again mate good to see you finally made it over here

Jay

Cheers guys, I'd love to get some pics up but if I'm honest, even after owning it a good 6/7 years, I've got little to show! :oops:

With the dark clouds overhead and the camera battery being flat, I probably won't get a chance today.

Hello Jason! Although I can wield a spanner competently, when it comes to bodywork (and cleaning it!) I often don't have the time/technique to keep it upto spec- which annoys me, especially as the tin-worm is setting in. ](*,)

Hi and welcome. You don't see many XR31's about now adays, when I was in my youth many moons ago, every body wanted one, top motor, love to see one again.
