    Did I type that?
    “If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as the souls who live under tyranny.” Thomas Jefferson (1778)

    Did you know the EU says that you can't claim that drinking water prevents dehydration. So now you know for sure what many of have known for years that the EU is run by a bunch of nutters.

    well ive been busy again .i took my clutch and flywheel off to find that the clutch had been slipping with plenty of dust in the gearbox and the flywheel needs refacing due to heat cracks.so i have ordered my new ttv racing flywheel and new hd clutch whitch is a 240 mm clutch instead of the 228 mm td clutch .ive also took the me7 blue injectors out and fitted 580 delphis in there place .and also took off the water cooler that holds the oil filter and fitted a 19 row mocal oil cooler in its place.i was going to fit the cam shaft but ive decided that im going to fit that when i take the car off the road in october.then the car will have a good overall and will only be used for summer use.then the forged rods and pistons will be fitted.and the body mods and deep dish 18s will be fitted at the same time so i can do a big brake upgrade.i will then run the car at 1.8 bar to 2.bar boost.but for now 1.4 to 1.5 bar will be enough.im looking forward to york lol.

    You'll have to clean and polish it again when all that's finished.

    Do we get more photos when you've done it?
