Been a while ey... So.. firstly I'm JUST about there with this poxy arsed blue ****.. I also appear to have got my picture order ballsed up..

Basically... Because it had stood so long my old battery which WAS new had died, the new new one was a different size so I had to make a new cage... The car went to a friend of mine to be mapped... There were problems...!!! Thermostat housing leaked Speedo stopped working over 30ish Nowt too major, or so I thought.. fresh RTV sorted the first issue.. The 2nd however.. oh what a ****!! Basically because the teeth on my trigger were so small the time of the pulse reached such a small period during use that over 30ish the dash just said "**Language** this" and stopped working... So, 12 teeth became 3... which meant I needed to access the dash software to tell it to look for 3 pulses per rev not 12... And then the smelly brown stuff hit the spinny thing that makes a breeze.. To cut a long story short, I got very angry then bought a serial/USB adapter from RaceTechnology and in 5 minutes had it sorted.. Some fella called Dan has started doing some lovely 3D printed cowls for us fancy dash owners so I got 1 of them.. and then decided it looked a bit plain... so fired it off to everyone's favourite leprechaun "dieseldave" for some flocking love... Came out lovely imo...

I also had a quick word with Col (satchell) and he gave me some baseline geo settings to work too so fashioned up a string box and had a go... what **Language**ing ballache!! Its certainly close now .. it's off to Matt Bentleys once MOTd for a proper geo and cornerweighting.. but it was nice to put into action the **** I was first taught... 20+ years ago..

And there ya go.... PLAYERS - **Language**ed ROLLHARD - **Language**ed... I've banned chinese takeaways from the house for the foreseeable future and god help anyone that offers me a spring roll.... Heres to 2021 Stay cool folks... Oh yeah... My footwell griptape is WAY better than yours....
