Hi all- I'm new!

Hope this is in the right place? (I don't really get the General Gassing Vs. Pie & Piston distinction)

Long time lurker but have been motivated to get more involved after the recent eye-opening experience of my 1st Le Mans. I'm ashamed to admit I didn't realise the PH 'thing' was so big; very impressed.

Absolute car nut, performance road cars mainly but also follow F1. Like watching MotoGP but never been into road bikes. Proud owner of every EVO since '99.

Got my 1st PHish car last year, blowing my 1st year of 'proper' earning after uni in the process- absolutely love it. Have taken it (and poor other half) to Cumbria, Isle of Man and Le Mans since, the 1st of many such trips I hope. I've been on Cliosport.net a bit if anyone else is?





Away from cars, I'm a 25 year old engineer living in and working near Surbiton, Surrey.

Anyway, I'll get off my soapbox. Thanks for looking.

Hi and welcome, nice clio

You didn't go to Kingston Uni by any chance?
No mate, Southampton. I have been trundling round the Kingston area for 2 years now though.

Mines been fine, besides the temp sensor, and the ecu bracket snapping.
Mine's only had a rocker-cover gasket leak and a broken alternater pulley but now my warranty had just run out the whole thing will disintegrate rolleyes.

Sure was/is. Nice bloke. I like the room where the dyno is, all that inch thick steel bolted to the walls.
