Welcome to the forum/club "V8D"

The Woking area is filling up with Blue Monaro eh "Dan The Man"

[Dan_The_Man]

No way man - two of us in Woking with blue CV8's, they are just way too common now

Great to have you on the board - and I suspect I'll be seeing you around very soon

I've got 22 across 4 cars

I'll have a Monaro one day I'm sure. Just have to stick to my six pots (and 1 four) for the time being.

James, just seen from the Autobahnstormers site that you live in Witham....I'm in Little Baddow!

32cylinders, 20.8 litres accross 4 cars and a spare 5.7 V8 LS1 (Monaro) engine in the garage having some "work" done on it !! (and not even any shares in any oil companies !!! (now where's my stock-brokers number)

Dunno about the Monaro, but I do fancy a Pontiac GTO

Small world, you'll have to come down to the Essex meet at the Red Lion. What do you drive?

[sjc]

James, see my profile, I have a HSV GTS-R (which is now for sale!). Will try to get to your next meet, work permitting.

Thanks for the welcome, guys. Re the number of pots, in total its 36 over 5 cars, plus a spare SBC (L-82)currently used as a doorstop!
Cant believe another Blue CV8 in Woking !! I live just outside Woking - Maybe a pint sometime.
Has your speedo/Tacho/CTG gone berserk yet? !!!! - V8Dave

Hi Dave, yes a pint is definately on the cards, I'm in Knaphill to be precise.

My speedo is fine but I have had the Linden stage 2 mods and once you hear and feel the difference to mine you will be up the M1 like a shot as I'm sure you know what a real V8 should sound like which is nothing like a standard CV8.

Nice that you joined us - enjoy the Munjaro

[i just want one]

Is that another model coming out jagsy??

[V8D]

Dan The Man, I live a mile from you ! Pop in the Kings Arms in Bagshot on a Friday night and play "spot the Fat Bloke" !! My vette has 4 straight thro pipes at the mo so I know what an SBC should sound like !! Dont think its legal but no sods complained yet!
Looked at the stage 2 on their website - thinkin about it, but I really fancy a blower ! That Vortec thing is very popular in the Vette community, as is the Carroll unit. An LS1 edit remap on the rollers is a great way to find all the power that GM Chevy hold back for model upgrades. Did your insurance co. go loopy cos it aint stock anymore? - V8Dave
