Been to busy and to lazy to update loads of shits broke in the last few months and been fixed but have no pictures gearbox died a while ago taking my 4 paddle with it so bought a 5 paddle clutch rated for 400lbft from CG motorsport but it only lasted 500miles on low boost so they've replaced it and It's been fine since holding 18PSI

Trip to Leeds and back required some Rockstars



Four hour + round trip ended up with this;





With the clutch fitted I needed to see what power I was running as I felt like the power was dropping off really bad top end and didn't seem to pull as good as it should so I went to a rolling road day with Vauxsausage and managed to get in total vauxhall with the 3rd most powerful car out of the group witch I didn't think was to bad because my car wasn't running right the lad who owns RS tuning told me it could be alot better if I could fix it and get it to hold boost rather then bleed it off and only hold 12PSI (Sorted now with a new amal valve)

Graphs, Only managed 272bhp only held 12PSI so power was dropping off top end really bad as I thought it was





Total vauxhall pics









And maybe a few months late but PVS 2013 pictures I managed to take













And last but not least the new daily 1.2 8v power horse trip with 25k on her Sat for almost 5 years in a old mans garage, he's to old to drive so was going to scrap it so I saved it from being squashed











More to come as I find more pictures

Forgot about these pictures, new drag wheels Never got to use them because the car is in bits atm flywheel bolts managed to work them self loose, turns out you can't re-use them








And some random pictures I took after a good clean, I removed my inners from my lights because it looks much better but the police officer that pulled me over the other day thinks different

you get extra pay for doing the driving mate? dont do it from my branch but i'd be tempted to shift to peterlee if i could get the place, sick of lugging fruit and veg on the shelf like

13.4, with plenty room for improvement id say... keep pushing her mate, get the weight out from the rear end and get those tyres let right down, reaction time aint too bad

Same pay mate more graft, up to 24 drops a day but more freedom and you are your own boss really it's 10x better then my other job but still looking for other jobs and cheers I reckon i'd get a 13.0 with more practice and grip
