Saw Daz for a bit today, and his nephew...great to see Daz as always, and nice to meet Jack.
Daz kindly let me have a go in Obi (KX52 HVY) and it is bloody brilliant.
For those that don't know, that vehicle used to belong to me, a 2.6 manual MV6...then the engine seized. Daz has worked wonders on it, a 3.0 engine now that sounds and goes very well, new stainless steel exhaust.
I've driven plenty of 3.2's, auto's and a manual...and I'd say Obi is just as good...if not better. It's really a credit to you Daz, now where's my cheque book to buy it back?

Obi certainly does go quite well (certainly when The Master DTM has a go), all the miles we have covered today the computer when got home reads 29.7mpg.... such alot of heavy footed driving was done so I am impressed...

Sorry Josh but Obi has a certain Value to me so unless it was met He is stopping here

Enjoyed seeing you again, will pop down again soon

That sounds pretty good, is that achievable in a 3.0L

I have done something similar in Vader so yes

I filled the tank this morning I have done 347.7 miles and the range says 88miles. I have done lots of stopping and starting in a traffic jam on the M25, plus called at several peoples houses to. So I honestly am impressed

That's quite a livable with figure, I had them down as in the very low 20's, ........

[tunnie]

not trying hard enough! I can easily get mother T's 3.0 into low 20's on a spirited run!

Glad to see you got back home ok Daz . I would trade that sat nav in mate if it took you to Oxford via M1 and M25 from my place! Like i told you before you left i would go via Alyesbury. Around 40 miles not the 60 your sat nav said. Hope your "patwan" Jack treated you to refreshments on the way home as promised.. Nice to meet you both today and have a look at Obi. You did a 1st class job there mate. No Rick Astley cd`s in the car though... shame.

No Chris, used the 2.6 wiring loom, Plenum, Cam Covers, Coil Packs plus Fuel regulator
However the 3.0 engine I fitted I had done alot of work on it which being fair is like a new engine.
I fitted the Stainless Exhaust which I am sure was actually made for a Facelift as it looks right under the rear bumper where as it stuck out to far on the mini facelift..
I will be at Newent in "Him"
