Hope you manage to make the trip, I'd hate to have to miss something like that due to misfortune alone.

[Nafoff]

Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77

the difference is you had the feeling prior to your build, its kind of eclipsed mine...

 

[Russ_16v]

Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77

Ha lol, as soon as mine was off the road i missed it, but sorting the tps out nearly caused me to throw the towel in, i threw my toys out with that, but now its done its great, yours will be the same

 

[Nafoff]

Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77

Building stuff, development work - it can get long in the tooth, especailly when you are making something totally different with no manual to follow - trust me I know

I think the entire front end has been off my car now at least a dozen times to experiment with different parts = many 3am finishes.

However, step back, remember how much enjoyment you get from the car and it all seems worth it. Nothing however makes it more worth it than when you start it up and go for a drive

 

[Nafoff]

Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77

tom - you sound all growned up

Funny you should say that mate, with what we did, I wasnt even sure if the thing would start, but the fact it fired up and ran fine left us speechless for about an hour lol.

Lots of time planning, trial and error, but its worth it in the end.

I don't know how the car performs, Neil's ignoring me the queer. Especially when I have pressing news for him.
