Hi Tony yes it's Rick.
Still got the Lotus but the Furies gone now - wasn't gettin much use so had to go.
The Esprits a bit wide for my garage though so that might be off soon too.
Can see me back in a Tiv soon maybe.
Actually thinking about a GT6 with a 2.5lt 6 and 3 webers if I can find a nice one or someone wants a deal - who knows?

Best of luck with the hunt for a new car Rick, hopefully I will catch up with you in the spring at the Wheatsheaf.

After another spell of open wallet surgery the new Emerald ecu installation begins this weekend and after much thought I have decided to have it fitted by an aprooved installer (JDM in Carlisle) due to severe sciatica preventing me from doing much under bonnet work or even bending over! mad
Will report on it's progress in a few weeks.

On the upside, I will have a few interesting bits available if anyone is interested;
JE doctored Jag big bore AFM and an adjustable Lucas 4cu ECU.

The belt for Supercharger also drives a modded pulley on the power steering pump and as such has quite a tortuous route around 5 pulleys 3 of them are quite small and all of these have proved difficult to keep in perfect alignment and the belt running true, so with a bit of head scratching and measuring, I have decided to ditch the PS pump and one of the idler pulleys and replace the lot with an electric pump off a............
Citroen Saxo!
