Yet again I feel the cosh of the insurance companies...

 

Graeme, if your is back for next weekend, when can I come and look at it?

[GCCK]

Bob

I'll call you if that's OK. Life has taught me to believe it when I see it!

Graeme

[bermudabob]

Fine by me! I think I'm slowly learning that too...

Don't ask about the bits... we were getting better, then things took a turn yesterday :tdown

 

Am plodding on, just losing hope of this ever ending

 

Aside from that, do hope Graeme's car stays on the forum, will be weird to not see it on the runs

Yeah, Stevie has the 135 S2 and neither of us could tell a difference with my standard S2 (before I put the hurricane and decat on).

 

S2 has the CR box anyway so no difference.

 

Waste of money on the S2 I think, however don't know with the S1.

 

 

I've not logged on for ages so have some catching up to do... It's not easy finding time to have a mid life crisis AND play on MLOC!

 

It's true, there's not *that* much difference. As Graeme says, it's only at the top end that it has a bit extra power.

 

...but whilever my head gasket lasts, I've got just enough to power overtake standard S2 + hurricane + decat!

 

This is a picture of your face as I overtook you yesterday! ->

 

I must admit it surprised me too, cos you can't really 'feel' the difference when you drive them seperately.

For the "non-official" upgrades, how would an insurance company know its been played with? I'm no expert but i look at my engine and apart from the cold air induction, I wouldnt have thought that one could tell the difference without taking the engine to bits.

Valid point Steve, but if the insurance company think it's been fettled they could take the head off etc... i'm guessing you have wilder cams etc - they would be easily spotted by a professional.
