Sorry Ken, thought you were building it up yourself. Good article that but remember we have the crappy PRB Manifold as Standard rather than the PRC. So we can expect even better gains :thumbsup

Tut - Driveshafts just arrived all wrapped up..............I'll get the Stanely Blade out :damnfunny

Fcuk off........

Don't think that I posted the dickhead of the day post, but when I received the drive shaft assembly, it was covered in bubble wrap and tape, so I cut it with my Sumurai kitchen knife, and sliced through the outer CV boot. Fortunately I had a couple of spare ones, so no real problem, just that I should not be allowed out on my own.

:damnfunny

Off topic a bit, but Iv visited Minneapolis before! Back in 2000, just before I met Alan, I went over with the youth brass band I played with. I stayed with 3 families, two of them their kids went to Thomas Jefferson High School? It was a great trip, we visited the Mall of America-some place that is!!

Just to make it clear Ken, Jen is Alan's wife, they are a lovely couple, but a complete waste of oxygen.

Alan has just gone through a mid life crises, so stopped posting and dictated everything to Jen concerning Colin's Honda conversion. So although she appeared to be a rival to Cosworth, it was dictated by Alan. However she is a smasher and takes good photos.

So endeth the story so far.......

And if you hadn't noticed already tut calls it as he sees it, even though he is nearly 90.

Actually, I had my car there on display over the Easter weekend. Folks loved it because you don't see Lotus Elise S1's here. Many thought it was a Ferrari. LOL!!

I love your lovely orange S1. It's way nicer than Alan's (plus he's one on those Honda d*ckheads). :wink:

That is ACE!! Id love a shopping centre like that here!! Would never ever have to leave!! Is that weird snoopy themepark still there? That was a little bit lame........ :blackeye

He actually turns 70 in November, and is only attached to tubes if its transporting alcohol from the bottle to his mouth! :wink: :lol:

After a very lates night(s) the Engine is ready.

Modified wiring loom to fit the new throttle body/sensor positions, chuffed with that.

Slight eh muck up with the Driveshafts, a case of 4 boxed driveshafts. One standard set and the other uprated for Colin. We got one of each (DOH). Lets you see the difference though.
