Not bad... Mine starts on hopes and prayers, and the occasional 'FFS start' for moral support. :) It really needs a new battery.

I've known a few people with these card now and all of them have had more power than they expected. As i said earlier even tuning companies have found them to be more powerful than the quoted figures. My lad had his detuned back to standard when he bought it and that was the figure he got. No matter what they are a quick car and 170 brake and over 300 lbs ft if torque make these cars fly. The DMF though needs to be in good order.

any risk of the paint getting damaged when the car gets warm?
Feb 25 2015 06:45 PM

It's only the paint on the engine and manifold.it's high temp paint so it needs time to burn the smell away, then it will be fine

Now I've got Parisian Walkways going round in my head! I shll check out Peter Green. In fact, I think I've got some splinter group stuff somewhere. On ancient vinyl. I went to see Bonnie Raitt a few years back and was pretty blown away by her. Didn't realise she was such a good blues/slide guitarist.

Ah, no offence to poor old Peter, but Splinter Group isn't a patch on the old PG fleetwood mac stuff. Peter suffered a mental breakdown after some heavy LSD action in the early 70's. He was never the same since that and although Splinter Group was a very noble venture, I would say it was more of a rehab exercise than anything. He really wasn't up to much in terms of his playing. I'm not too familiar with Bonnie, I'll check her out. Love findng new music!

Miniminx71

Me too. I've just discovered Robert Randolph and the Family Band. Sort of blues/funk - but he plays the steel guitar and I've never seen anyone outside of C&W play it. Pretty good :-) I shall leave my LSD induced muzak in the suitcase in the garage for now then.

Found your post and its the same accident. Although I didn't know the other guy had died too, I was told he had severe injuries, but was alive. Just so sad :(
