dont need the dyno time. ms is 150 usd as a kit. get the wideband (so you know where to set the fuel) and knocksense (so you know the limits of the spark).
go to t-bricks if you wanna learn about getting a car like mine

Was a bit more sluggish than normal - not good for overtaking coaches around the Snowdon roads.... :)

Thanks for you help Dai, looking forward to getting it in now!

And thanks to Steve for the bits and pieces from him - got plenty of stuff to do now!

About 5.5hrs to get home, including the slower route past Snowdon (couldnt resist!) and a stop for food so not too bad. 620 miles in total for the round trip.

Beautiful place you live in though. Looks like we'll be coming back in the summer for a proper holiday :)


That's one more post to the total...

Yes, Anglesey is a beautiful place. Dai, where abouts do you live? I've visited and stopped in lots of areas such as LlanfairPG, Nebrough, Dwyran, Malltraeth, Llanerchymedd... Really need to pay the place a visit sometime :) I have relatives in Tal-y-bont, near bangor off the A55.

and I suppose

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

translated means

itchyfannyisnotasexuallytransmitteddiseaseitsanitalianmotorbike

(To appease our Celtic mambers it actually translates as 'St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave'. )

I live in Rhosgoch in between amlwch and llyn alaw.
The roads here are great for a bit of road rallying.
There are loads of nice places for taking photos of cars like in my sig.

That reminds me, I tried to put an image in my sig using the same code as you use to put an image in a post, but it didn't show for some reason... What code is in your sig?

That should work. Try adding some text, in case it can't do an image alone. At one point Aymat removed all sig pics to the avatars (including mine!), and I thought he might have disabled it, but clearly not.

cheers

Hmm, now text isn't showing... I went to profile, added in some random text in the signature box, hit submit, but nothing at the bottom of my posts.

It dosn't just apply to new posts does it?
