Progress of my 3.0 build.

Yes it's great news and will be fun to catch up with many of you. I'm still trying to figure out how to shrink my car and just add water when we get into London to show you guys how well she's going. I've had it up to 1.2 bar and it pulls like a fighter jet! We've got the a/f's pretty right now. High 11's at WOT which is just right. It runs a bit on the rich side for now and makes some impressive barks through the straight 3" no cat pipe. Hope I don't burn the rear valence...seriously.[] We're going to dyno it and see just how much difference the different head & cam makes once we get that back in a week or two. It better is all I can say.[][]

Plenty of water falling out of the sky in London this summer without having to add it specifically if you do manage the shrinking trick.

IIRC you have the Vitesse MAF and Piggyback to control things. Have you done any work on the timing for a 3.0L engine or have you only adjusted the AFR so far?

I would like to have made it as well but will be on holiday - i'll wave as you fly past

Paul, with the Vitesse 'kit' it comes with the timing pretty much spot on, you only really clean up the a/f's. While I'm away my mechanic will take it to the dyno and have a play around. That's after the car comes back from having a big front mounted i/c custom made and fitted. In our heat it's even more important to bring down the charge temps, especially in Summer.

Well I have just received the 'All Clear' so I shall be able to make it which is great. I was looking on the Google map that Paul posted and thought that it looked very close and I'll just hop a cab. Helen, my partner and the reason we're going to the UK (she's English) looked and said it used to take her 1 hour to go 5 miles! So she suggested catching trains some, or all of the distance. If I can get myself to Central I might take up Nick's kind offer. I'll just need to find how I get there but that should be easy enough.
I'll be wearing a pink carnation in my lapel. [] I've got Paul's mobile so I'll call once I know what I'm doing.
Thanks guys. I look forward to meeting those that turn up.

If you are in Westminter then you already are 'Central' all you need to do is a short hop on a tube or bus to Waterloo (5 mins tops) and then take the train to Surbiton. Get off there and you are 1 min walk from my place but I will grab you from the station anyway. There will be no traffic by the time we leave so I should be able to run you back into Westminster after as long as I dont have to be up too early for work!

Ok good news Nick. I'll call you when we get into the flat and figure out the timing. I can't make it a huge night either as I deferred the family thing to the next day and I can't be too shabby for that.[:'(]
Thanks again.
