I got it cheap because they have a spend £50 get 20% off sale on. I had to get some stuff from there that came to £30 and I fancied this tool box and it was £19. When I went to the checkout the girl told me if I spent another £1 I'd get 20% off so I bunged in some masking tape and the total bill was £42.

Just saw that, not long got back, I didn't need anything else from there and don't really need it because I've got 3 other tool boxes :grin:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Big thanks to Mark, CV Joint changed and steering geometery tweaked. Car feels great!

All set for trackdays other than sorting a pair of R888's and investigating why the oil temp is running a bit high.

I'm going down to see the man on the isle in a few weeks, I could pick it up for you if you want? I'm often in Newbury/Thatcham so not far from Blaze 'n Smoke. Saves having on postage or fuel & Ferry.
