$10 donation to reub from each person to bring it down to warwick?
how many vw nutters does it take to change a box in an hour...? should be plenty there, just bring a socket set, use people for the hoist, jack, crane
etc

Dyno today! not sure what time its booked in.
The first guy to guess the correct horse power wins the ultimate prize...SELF ESTEEM!!! and a clap.
Be interesting to see what it gets, keeping in mind we want to keep the engine within the 'safe' range.

ha, just to clarify - a clap as in to strike the palms of the hands together with a sudden explosive sound, as in applauding.

Hi
What boost are they going to run it at?
If its any more than the 8 psi that Jak runs, maybe a bit over 200.
