Nice one G

Hope you enjoyed today - the last car (Shorty's) went on the ramps at 6:00pm  Davie (and Jean) were brilliant as usual - thanks to them for having us.

My car is booked in for Wednesday to get some bits and pieces sorted out, but first I need at least 2 tyres and 1 alloy - so that is my task for Monday/Tuesday

Just sorting some photos out just now - so keep an eye out for them

Good day and turnout, appologies to those I never spoke to (rivetted to Davy's diagnosis of problems and solutions, a good day when you learn more..)

Nero it's not only the wheel thats dented, your wallet too..ouch bud! nice speaking to you. I pressume you've made it home safely (albeit a leisurely cruise back home)

I take it Sandy stuck to his appointment with a hangover then? (no show) 

Thanks to Davy and Jean for an excellent day out!  

BTW Welcome to the forum

Hi Graham and welcome to the club and forum, nice looking car you have mate .

Thanks to everyone that organised the meet, was a cracking day out. Was great to watch Davy doing his thing on our cars and always good to learn more about them.

Glad to hear you got home without any problems Nero, hope you get it all sorted ok.

Stuart.

Thanks for the compliment, I'm well chuffed at the comments she was getting

I've got a cat back system from this mob atm ....

Great price compared to some of the other systems on the market, not too loud, fits well and imho looks pretty good

You done any before/after rolling road runs w.r.t. power changes from the exhaust?

Nope, hasn't been anywhere near the rollers yet. I meant to do before/after runs with the exhaust and induction kit but didn't get round to it before I fitted them. Hopefully I'll be getting a remap soonish and will be able to check the power then.

She's definitely quicker and is a lot more responsive to the throttle so I'm guessing there's been an increase over the standard bhp with the two of them on. Probably not much but every little helps .

Stuart.

Where about in Falkirk you at? I live up the High Station way. Maybe see you around Falkirk, and at one of the meets soon.

Welcome mate, and I am sure that someone one here will be able to help you with ANY problems you have with your E36. Hopefully none right enough but you never know!
