LancerG - Change profile name to Midlifecrisis71

[Midlifecrisis71]

Not the most exciting news, but im bored of looking at this forum every day and seeing "no meets" for me to attend (i'll organise one soon)

So while being bored, I have decided to stop calling myslf a name related to my car and then changing it every 2 years !

So Giles (aka LancerG, aka S2Giles, aka XKRGiles) will now be known as Midlifecrisis71. Hopefully for a long time.

See ya soon

Nice one Steve, I like the name.

Meeting - I will probably organise a lunch meeting for Christmas, usually early December. Not sure if anything else is going on in November. I may have to do something along the breakfast meeting idea, maybe Exeter, Honiton & A303diner.
I am waiting for the SW facebook group to set the date of an upcoming event, as I don't want to clash etc.

I still have the evo, just fitted new shocks, some replacement bushes at the back and a service & MOT this week - so she's ready to roll after an unusual summer of being in storage and moving house !

What do you fancy

A drive and a nibble ?
Breakfast, Lunch or dinner ?

Options:
1. Meet Exeter - Head to Honiton A303 Diner for brekkie - drive chard road
2. Meet Exeter - Drive over moor for lunch at Bearslake Inn
3. Meet Plymouth - head to Route 38 Diner in cornwall for brekkie

[Midlifecrisis71]

Just a thought but how about Sunday 7th December, meet at exeter services at maybe 9am ? then drive for brekkie at 9.40 - 10.40 at the A303 american diner then drive to crewkerne & chard for those who want a drive ?

If it suits you guys I will post up a thread

[Midlifecrisis71]

Not sure whats going on now - forgot i'd started talking about this & then my car has developed a small gremlin that probably means it wil be off the road at some point.

Im told the 7th isnt good for John or neil either

i'll know more in a few days and formulate a plan

My cars back on the road woohoo and, just seen me in my funcup car on the front page of PH, fame at last!!!!!!

Overtaking a white stock polo at Brands Hatch?

I spotted that and had a chuckle - the guy got 8 months i believe.


My car is going in to the garage for the week from 2nd Dec, needs an AYC & ACD pump rebuild, so im having a couple other bits replaced at the same time, and maybe a remap !! That will be a lovely bill at christmas time.
Anyway, if its back before the weekend, i may still go for a blast on the 7th, but i cant organise anything until a day or 2 before when i know the car will be back.
If its not back - i'll organise something for 13th/14th Dec

OH - And of course, i will go for a run between christmas and new year too, blow away the cobwebs


Paul - has the Nob been rebuilt all together or did you finally do those bodywork changes ?

Yes mate the car is back together with a healthy 503bhp. Haven't done any body work as yet, that will be for next year along with a re-trim.

Time to sell it to me now then Paul ?
How on earth did you squeeze that out of it ? Forged internals, bigger blowers........ I want to go out in it

Upgraded injectors, GT28 turbos, adjusted cam timing, bigger intercooler, larger fuel pump, stronger actuators, high flow exhaust stronger valve springs and remap. This has all been gradual, once passed 400bhp its only a matter of time before the gearbox lets go as mine did back in April!!! It's taken a while but now has a much stronger upgraded Helix clutch and a strengthened gearbox, complete with oil pump and cooler. It is fairly lairy with only the one boost setting, will have a high and low boost setting eventually.
Edit to add, anytime Giles, just need to get some decent rubber for the rears, my SO2's are like concrete!!!

That sounds awesome, ive done most of that to the evo now (intercooler going on at the tuners as we speak) but with only 2.0 litres there is a limit before the rods risk bending. However the tuner keeps nagging me to forge the engine and spend 6k on it to get 550hp from a 2.0 litre block !!!!!!! I reckon it'd be undriveable and a waste of money. His own evo 6 is aiming to be 650hp but its a track weapon only.

Anyway, when i get the car back, i'll stick up a thread for a drive out

[Midlifecrisis71]

On the assumption that I get my car back this week, I have set up a breakfast meeting for new years eve.
