just having a 300 puts in the non standard category as far as the voc is concerned

A 360 won the overall prize at the BKV this year!

Count me in, naturally. I should have the bodykit fitted and (*) twin carbs / hotter cam by easter. I'm planning to do a run at the pod and get a dyno print both before and after the engine work, so that gives us plenty of chances.

* Definitely if they have cold-start-chokes...if not....hmm...I'll have to think about it. I'll be able to answer the choke Q next weekend!

cheers

Meets wise, i will be there! (where ever there is)
As for not running stock power, im not, mines supposed to be doing 135bhp, but due to me slightly upping the boost a bit (like double stock boost), shes now putting about 170bhp (rolling road figs).

Im up for a weekend pissup at somepoint durring the holidays (we are planing such an event over at tbricks).

perhaps we should consider a meet at Billing aquadrome which is just up the road from Santa Pod.Loads of car clubs already use it for meets

Good idea - I go to JAE every year there...but isn't it a bit OTT for us...plus you have to pay to get in. Worth investigating though...

cheers

Duvel, you WILL be there.. even better if you can bring one of your 300s too. If Francois can do it, so can the founder of V3M... you have no excuse if we organise this early :P

Not sure about Easter Holiday dates, as long as its a weekend (preferably Sunday) it should be fine for the UK guys to meet. If you suggest an approximate date, we can see if it'll be a problem for others?
