    Yeah I'm fine thanks mate!
    Sorry folks, haven't forgotten this, but not a lot to report! Slower than a diesel Hilux with a broken turbo.......
    Trust me we are as excited about this as ever
    Pilot manifold is finalised and should be cast by now. Expecting to hear from SA that a sample manifold & intake pipe to be ready any day now!
    That will be DHL'd here, it will get bolted on for final position checks & we will really get on the gas
    I'll have some more pix for you guys too
    Rob
    The answer is more power! What was the question?

    With a wee bit of past experience with Alpine to draw on...

    I'll say that molasses in January might be considered speedy by comparison...

    This is a 'fit & form' casting that only has engine & SC mounts. The actual manifold run will be done when we're happy with this. Have pulleys and fuel rails in progress too

    Take a sleeping pill!

    Rob:
    Have to confess... ran out of patience and supercharged my Ironman yesterday with a regular Alpine...


    It DID boost my ride!
    on the other hand, it makes a lot of noise... probably need to replace a couple of bearings, maybe it will make it quiter??
    anyway, there are still at least a couple of hopeful VXers here, so you can count on orders from Russia... heck, I might go for an upgrade to M90 myself!
    Vodka... Connecting people
