cheers broseph. all that cleaning to go out in the rain tonight! on the plus side, the rain is beading right off her which is uber, and i absolutley SAVAGED an MR2....doesn't make sense, should be quicker than me, fairly sure its a turbo, yet i pulled easily away from him in 2nd, odd, because i'm fairly sure he was goin for it at the rate he appeared behind me and he came past me at about 90mph because i rolled off at around 80mph...ah well, can't complain! obviously Jay and WeeJohn have done something right lol! i'm sure we can have the GT all shiny man, Tar remover, SRP, Extra Gloss Protection, and Wax, tis the way forward i tell thee! tis not a turd man, she runs perfectly, she boosts perfectly. she just needs a clean, some polishing, and some new brake pads! and hey presto. we'll get her sorted man! you forget u live in the same house as the Nanjewbadger, as Riko calls me. there is no problem we can't solve! been in talks with Jay about the belt already! brake fluid could do with a change, but the pads should still be ok, EBC green stuff, should last a while. Perhaps Yellow Stuff will be tried next! i hear good things! boost gauge....yes, its time it lit up! also, UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! got a phone call this evening, my Volks is repaired and ready for collection!!!!!!!!!! YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!! 4 MINT Volks 5/4s ready for the Spring! Phil.
