    you go for the interview for practice, take it out of your annual leave ofcourse and it will be worth the experience. then if you get offered the post in the new place you go back to your manager or preferrable the ultimate boss, and say ive been offered a post elsewhere to progress my career, BUT i would be happy to stay if i can have a payrise and insurances regarding my future, and then explain the sort of training/progression you want to see. PS do you keep recorded time for tasks in the panel beating industry? if so what is your percentage efficiency ? Phil
  8. absolutely mint 800ish average 500 Phil
  9. thats is the stuff, now the heart ache really begins. and your previously mentioned 'high speed runs' become something you can do in only a number of seconds Enjoy Phil
  10. Or you could get yourself a FPR and FCC remove the fuel cut and add some fuel, but you'd need to know somebody with a wideband to get it set up. but a ct9 @1bar with fuelling setup goes dead on, crude but good. i happen to being selling both parts you would need for this setup, and if you were in ireland i could get your fuelling sorted too. but your in east sussex lol Phil
  11. when you say 'keep stock bottom end' you should be say 'keep stock block' as thats what you are meaning. as other have pointed out to replace the rod and pistons with forged items is upgraging the 'bottom end' but as per your request you would need a kit with stock diameter pistons (74mm) to allow you to simply rehone and fit without any serious engine block work. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. if the car is a longterm commitment & daily driver i would put the extra machining costs to the back of your mind and go for 74.5mm pistons and therefore a 0.5mm overbore on the block. if the car is a weekend toy/drag/track etc then whatever slight nastiness may occur from just a rehone it probably wont cause you undue heartache, just the amount your choosing to let yourself in for lol Phil
  12. would straight swap you no problem, but im in Northern Ireland! Phil
  13. its a date. Ill stick a thread up on Tgtt as something for us all to work towards Aidan still got the GT? Phil
