Well the car has been in hibernation since September so I thought I'd get her out today and do a couple of small little jobs ready for this years meets and events for those of you that did know I had an issue where I had lost a lot of Power and could only boost to 19psi but I found the issue and it now appears to be running well and making full boost again found a boost pipe off its got no tax so I just took it up the end of the road and back and it felt very powerful god how I have missed not driving it. Here is a little video I took earlier

I didn't even realise you still had this Phil, thought you'd scraped after finding out the floor was worse than Fred Flinstones car.....
Only kidding mate.. Looking fresh as still, can't wait to see her in the flesh at some point!
Just a little update to let people know after always wanting to see my car featured in a magazine it's finally going to happen it will be in performance French car mag not sure yet what month but the photo shoot is tomorrow at 12 pm in east grinstead I would really love to see it get front cover but will see what they rekon when they see the old girl
Just had some more great news received an email letting me know my car has been selected for the themed paddock area for the French car show at castle Coombes well chuffed
Get in there phil....well done buddy
Well deserved
Cool - looking forward to reading about it and seeing it in the flesh- well done mate, it's a nice feeling, my r26 was In pfc 3 times last year - not a full feature but cool none the less

Well done bud
One of the best cars in the club attention to detail is amazeing i cant believe its not been featured yet well done phil
Broken down yet?
Lol
Looks awesome as ever matey. Did you get the boosting issue sorted?
Well just got back from the photo shoot that lasted about 5hrs but was all well worth it and the editor is a top bloke the initial shoot was meant for 90 minutes but once he saw the car he said instantly it will be front cover and it will also have a 7 page spread with a pop out poster so really chuffed he also thinks redline and fast car will want it to as he is also the editor for them as well have some images I done on my phone that ill put up in a little bit
Well done mate, I new it would make the cover
Awesome work matey if anyone deserves that many pages in a mag feature its you, credit to your top work.
Top job. Look forward to seeing it in print

Evening chappies we are on route home from scoffs and to say I'm happy is an understatement for those of you who know me you know my goal has always been to try and brake the 300hp barrier with minimal lag with a Vnt still on a c1j and to sit here now knowing it made more feels a great achievement the cars had a right pasting today and probably took a good 30+ runs on board with no real issues the potential power was 309.9 bhp @32psi running slightly lean so a healthy 301.3 bhp was achieved and finally id like to say a massive thanks to mike at gt turbo spares for being a true gent and offering to get the car up there for me what a great guy and what a laugh we have had this weekend cheers to mike scoff and anyone else who's helped over the years I'm now in the c1j 300+ hp club
Well done mate!!
Know its been a long road for you with a few ups and downs but its finally done it!
Now bolt some tyres on and get it down the strip
Sounds and looks awesome and no doubt goes like stink
Awsome motor
Can I ask a few questions about your set up?
When does it hit full boost and when does it make peak power as in rpm?
Just curious as to how it feels with the VNT.
Do you have graphs?
wow just wow
phils asked me to post this vid up on the RTOC Youtube channel
