True - but I had to get that public transport thing to work, it's so uncivilised...
Saw it last night on my way home from work (Fitzroy Place), taking the shortcut to miss traffic.RDH wrote:You can have my coolant for free - if you can separate it from the oil?philthy wrote:

It's sitting round from your office - dead.
, just a case of putting it all back together now along with the 192 ecu and pulleys. 
I'd have thought proper verniers and an Emerald would have been better - not heard very complimentary things about the fixed pulleys and factory ecu upgrade... Unless of course, you did a Kelly and got them for 20 bob and a couple of Beanosphilthy wrote:Got the head back from Dan

Yea the kit was bought for a lot less! I dont really want to spend that kind of money on the run up to christmas, especially whe the girlfriend has expensive tastesShug wrote:Aye - poor wording. It's just supposed to overfuel, the map isn't great and the concept of a one-size-fits-all map & pulley setup on an essentially handbuilt engine is fundamentally wrong. Not quite a K for an Emerald either! £580 + the vat, plus £179 + the vat for the verniers - all at tip top pricing. I'm sure a deal can be done in this weather...
That said, if the lotus kit was bought for significantly less, then it's not really a comparison.
