Getting Growler back Today !!!

[petros]

At long last, going up to Middlewich shortly to get my car back. Engine Blueprinted by Power, Protech Suspension and a host of other mods. Ian finished working on her at 5am ( Bless him ) and reckons she's the dogs. Can not wait.

I will be. Running a primary nos solenoid in case of fuel pressure loss and a progressive controller so it doesn't just get dumped into the engine. Also mine has cross-bolted mains so should be man enough. Not going for mental figures.
PS. Steve, brakes sorted via Phil.

Finally chose the new wheels today Mac, now I've got her back. Image wheels, billet 63, 17" reverse rim, take about a month to build.

What power does a blue printed 450 put out? My bog std 450 was 254bhp and 300lb so I'd be interested to see the difference. Sounds like its all going to be good though!

[petros]

Will let you know when I get her on the rolling road. Heads skimmed, sports cam, re bored, new rings, shells etc and balanced. Should be ok on the bhp numbers.

Hi Claire, yes, I know, I was there when he phoned. My appologies. Can't believe he was still setting up the Protech suspension at 5am on Sunday. And. I can't believe that I was awake when he texted me to say that he,d finished. Got to say he's done a great job though. Mind you, the cads only gone and lost my washer bottle cap !! Will be checking E Bay to make sure he's not flogging it !!!

Don't worry about it. I am used to it.

And there has been many a time when its been me keeping him at the unit till 7.45am.
