so blunty what boost would you run if you were in my dilema.? still thinking 20 to 22 psi.?
i'd say get a few hundered miles, heating up cooling down and an oil change and run it as you want it to be ran
Well u get up to 4 runs so maybe start at 10 and work it up a bit. But id listen to what justin says. Went out in your car with him today to get a cossie fmic and go the engineers so did a few miles lol.so blunty what boost would you run if you were in my dilema.? still thinking 20 to 22 psi.?
One prob there grants car is in stoke he is in leicesteri'd say get a few hundered miles, heating up cooling down and an oil change and run it as you want it to be ran
Ah..... difficult choice then, think i'd rather play it safe, think of it as an excuse to organise another meet up
Indeed iv already been looking at potential dates in the summer.
yes that is the problem. anyway blunty hows your car coming along? hows me old girl running? hows it feel runing just 5psi.?
Its all good had a few set backs but the new turbo oil feed has arrived a day earlier so thats good. Should have it thurs evening. Your car felt.ok mateengine seems nice and strong n smooth think justin has gotta adjust somethin on the external wastegate.
yes mate he told me about that its the bracket on the wastegate justin said it will be sorted for saturday. good to here about yours coming on. roll on this week. did justin say anythink to you about what boost he wanted to set my car to.?
Hes not.said exactly what he wants it running at but i get the impression he dont want you run much i think.one run at 20 at your own risk would be enough.
cool mate thats what i will do then. cu saturday.
And you will mate goin b a good un.cool mate thats what i will do then. cu saturday.
looking forward to it
pulled my finger out tonight, made time to drill my 2nd stage. drilled it to 1.2 rest of my carb is std, it was too rich so had to keep upping the boost, its at 12.2ish at 19psi, so im happy with that. couldnt believe the difference..... wish i'd done this several years ago lol. i couldnt accelerate for very long, so didnt do any 4th gear pulls but i dont drive that fast anyway, 1st 2nd 3rd will do me
Think ill lay off the accelerator untill ive been on the rr let him check its not detting.

Re: staffs/cheshire new year meet/rolling road day
A much needed day in the 5! Nice to see some old faces and meet some new ones...
Great to have the 5 back on the road..good times!
was a really good day guys, was gutted i had nothing to run, but enjoy the social aspect and seeing some 5's the weather was awesome aswell which always helps.
A good call to the organisers and also the geezers at the rollers for putting up with us... even going through the trouble of modifying the hub adapters to fit the 5s..
yer good to see new and old faces
Look forward to the next meet
