Engine wasnt cold, it was the annoying indiglow dial kit that restricted the needles on the fuel and temp guages. Took them off eventually because I always had a 1/4 of a tank of petrol with them on and never knew if I was going to run out.

In serch of some as we speak.
So far only found this 1.



Keep you posted and yes it did go back out and kick as on a honda s200 after i let him come pass then it went to slow so overtook it again.

Of the rev counter at 7k in third gear and was seeing 100mph wile there into the esses cant be bad but very scary in a car youve just bodget together with some gaffer tape and cable ties in the pits.
Worked a dream tho.

I had better luck than my mate.

The vid was from my mates 2.1 that blew a hole in the block.

Mine broke down with some teething probs but went like a sculded cat on the next trip out and very happy.

As for the van it got my car up to at lease 40mph on the way back.

Great video, shame it went so bad at the end for your mate, he was mullering everything else in his path no problems!
