The Faff is back on the road!!!!!! Whoopeee
« on: November 22, 2008, 06:24:38 pm »
Well after a whole load of dilemma's with parts not coming on time and Andrew not being able to map the car because of other customer commitments in Dubai!!!! My car fired up to life early on tues morning of this week and Steven (Spud) took it and done the first 150miles, there was a little niggle with stalling down low in the rev range in the low gears whilst in traffic, but thats being looked at on monday morning coming and then i'm collecting it in the afternoon. Well i was about Lisburn today with bazza and we dropped in and i took the car a run, even after stalling it twice because of the heavy new clutch i wasn't used to, it still gave me the biggest smile in the world........ i'll be hoping too get the car mapped in the coming weeks to get to use the full power its capable of....... i'll get new pics of the engine bay soon.

Roll on monday whoopee!!!!!

Went up there today and momentum had a few other things on the shelves and i took a liking to them so they're going to be fitted before collection on monday so i'll do the pics when i get her home. Hopefully i'll have the time then to get them uploaded. Probably not as i'll be out doing the miles, making up for lost time.
