Tony Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Blimey.... You've morphed the car into a bullet. It must be incredibly rewarding to do this since i know most of the fitting you do yourself.... I won't ask a monetary value for all the extras but i will ask how much time do you think has been volunteered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't ask a monetary value for all the extras but i will ask how much time do you think has been volunteered? I must admit it is and has been very rewarding, I am not a mechanic so everything has been a learning process from the start i wanted to do everything myself, the complete opposite to the lexus project it started of as a cheap project, but as allways costs and dreams escalate somewhat out of control, the joy is wanting to do things rather than having to, its great when theres no timescale and no rush the best part of it all is when someone passes a compliment, i tend to grin from ear to ear (thanks mat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I think your past example with the sexy Lexy has proved your abilities.... Being best car in the shows and displayed in the mags is quite an achievement and well justified in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Work has started on removing the old Emanage engine management system Makes me nervous looking at all those wires...... Something of a birds nest methinks!... I must confess when i was at tdi there was a car with wires allover the place and Mark said this will be running this afternoon.... To my non-educated mind i thought 'no way' .............. Wrong it was a done deal later that day! Needless to say i was impressed but don't tell Mark that...

TDIPLC Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 What does a scramble trigger button do? It provides higher boost pressure for a predetermined length of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 What does a scramble trigger button do? It compares the letters you've got against a dictionary and gives you the highest scoring word. Oh wait, that's a scrabble trigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark H. Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 What does a scramble trigger button do? It provides higher boost pressure for a predetermined length of time :ph34r_anim: Thanks for that. Sounds like something an X-wing from Star Wars would have. Press the button and it sends a signal to everyone in the convoy to go in a random direction. I would have thought something like overboost would be a good name for it. I think thats what Saab call it on their HOT models. Extra boost for 20 secconds iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree 'Scramble button' does read into insignificance compared with 'Overboost' may as well call the scramble a 'Dump blocker'. ......... Whatever the name, performance is the key, so Mr Bond we await the application of the 'Scramble button' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
