Sorry to say I haven’t popped my head through the door for quite some time. I guess life just got in the way!

Thanks Rich and the team for all you’ve done, especially keeping the forum alive after...

Sad Times, I’ve met some great people on here, and my God spent many of hours chatting away helping and learning.

It's a sad time but understand the reasons. I believe FB was the killer? Anyways, I fell honoured to be part of such a massive community and glad to see all the content will be archived. There's a...

Sad news, but understand the reasons as to why.

ooooo nice yeh, its a fun hill climb ... leaning more to the scary part towards the end there where the fence disappears and the hill just drops away, so if you come off, you are in trouble. Should...

Wow, can't believe it's been over 2 years since the last update on this thread.

Unfortunately not a lot has been done to it. I still need to remove the entire rear suspension and fuel tank to...

Thank you ive got a few more jobs to get done on it yet.
I've kept the rear lights standard but polished the plastic lenses back up

Great fun at the ring! you were lucky to miss the barrier and not get a bill from the circuit!

Just come across this thread and thought I'd update.

I bought N750 GEV at the end of April, sight unseen on eBay and arranged transport up to Scotland.
As you can see from the photo...

Bit of an odd update on the car.

Decided to go for the same semi slicks again as there was still a deal on their website, so got 4 semi slicks for about £280 delivered. I went for the Accelera 651...

Hello all, first post having wanted to write one up for a while as I bought the car a few months ago, figured this was the best place to start. Did some digging and this car used to belong to Dan850R...

Starting to have a look at getting the car cooled before the next trackday, im certain I will have to go water meth route as I cannot replace my Bell intercooler with anything bigger without having...

I got to Sitech Racing in Dunfermline just before 1 pm. We put Betsy on the dyno & started fairly gently around 1.25 bar just to see what was going on. We did 14 runs in just under 90 minutes...

Our new house has a steep drive and getting in and out of the garage is a PITA, especially with the low ground clearance on BR coilovers. I finally finished the necessary ramps needed to get Betsy...

The new actuator bracket has been painted and fitted now and the port on the W/G opened out to as much as possible. I've had the bung welded in to the downpipe and redone the...

Apologies, we had a daft fault but now the site is back.

Although this site seems to have less issues than Facebook of late, due to the nature of technology these things do happen unfortunately.

Quick update so I don't forget it all

Have been re-mapping it as I go really. Some more advance, some VE table tweaks, and I've got PID control working for the EGO so I can manage about 500 miles...

Volvos never die - they just live off old ones.
I used the opportunity to have some long overdue paintwork done on Betsy. Windscreen has been removed to sort the rust around the apperture...
