They were pretty popular with the nissan guys a while back cause they were cheap and made reliable power - a lot of them also used the larger 380 model. It's been a while but I canoot remember anything other than positive reviews.

I'm going to try and get myself up there today guys - fingers crossed!

Looking at the wheel sizes It sounds like they are claiming its bigger than it is horsepower wise, which is good, if the wheel size is right... one would hope... then it should match up great.

is there a welding job ahead of me...?

Myself, Muzdaman, spikes and dandaman all turned up. Dandaman's ITR turned red since we last saw it, haha. No sign of Sean. I forgot my camera again.

yep probably,but have to do a few other jobs first and I dont have a good track record anymore of doing things quickly,still haven't put those cams in for instance.
will probably drop round for a chat in a couple of weeks.
I mainly bought it because it was so cheap!(if it dies,I just get a decent one)and I was impressed with how much stronger Ken's rx7 feels with a smaller turbo.

Is there a May 13 meeting?

Postby **NitroDann** » Tue May 01, 2012 8:48 pm

Hell yeah. :mrgreen:

What did you want to know?

Dann

PaulF · Postby **PaulF** » Wed May 02, 2012 4:23 am

May 13 is Mothers' Day, for the record. Doesn't affect me as my parents are on holidays, but it could be an issue for some.

dewy · Postby **dewy** » Wed May 02, 2012 8:48 pm

As long as I am not working (might get chucked on due to it being a holiday people will want off) I'll head up the hill to say hi in the new roadster.
