arrrrgh matey's,

thought i'd spend some time on piston heads to learn more about the V8 TVR's - so ive called into the Jap corner to say hello.

I drive a 91 import Celica GT4.

I also keep a summer Celica Convertible 87 GT with nitrous. I'm also in the middle of another celica project - 89 rev 1 GT4 with a rev 2 carlos sainz engine and gearbox swap.

see some of you at japfest no doubt.

Glad I've kept my MR2 now, was looking at Chimaeras for a bit. Found out the other day that when i drove it back from buying it 2 years ago I fiddled with the AVC-R on the way back and cut the power back quite a bit without realising it (had 2 settings and I didn't realise which was which), only now with a bit more knowledge of the system did I realise what i'd done, all this time I thought I was running a 300bhp tubby when it was only pushing about 265-270 tops, it's boosting a bit higher in every gear now and I can really feel the difference, loving it again.

Eh?


for you, gazboy;

MrE explained that he may know me. He does.

benjc may know me from Barry boys last year.

mrflibbles asked to see pictures.

in all, a spontaneous reply to posts made by other users, quite simple realy.

if you will reply to posts, it isnt too much to ask that you try to post more than two letters and a question mark.

what do you drive?

Nothings happened, just I have to chop it in for something a little cheaper and more economical (ie boring and slow ) so all spare funds can be directed toward my new project.

I will still be floating about Japchat every now and then, you cant get rid of me that easily. Plus my new project does hap a Jap engine, so that sort of counts.

Intersting is not the word.

As a rough guide, I have been informed it'll do 1/4 miles in 12 & a bit secs, and doing 0-60 under 5 secs!!!!

It should hopefully be built and ready to be thrashed by January/Febuary time.
But thats all I can reveal for now.
