Leaving the fold

[ARAF]

Today the Ute went to pastures anew. Look for it around the Swindon area as I've been told it will be used as a daily driver now. Mrs Araf sold her plate with the car so if it looks familiar, it probably is. The guy isn't an internet user, so don't expect to see him on here.

I'll still pop in, from time to time, as this is a great community. I'm not expecting to get another Aussie motor, but never say never.

Thank-you all for making me feel welcome and putting up with me for the past 10 years - yes, I know it feels like longer.

A GTR isn't anywhere on the list. I'll stick around here, just to read of your pain.

Sad to see you go Araf always enjoyed your post and contributions, always constructive and well balanced.

I wouldn't go that far. You have me confused with someone else.

Our ute went to a really nice guy. He's into American cars and wanted something a bit more user friendly than them, to use every day.

I've really enjoyed reading all your old 'stuff' on here in the two years that I've been in the club. You've also given me some top advice, so for that I thank you too.
Don't disappear!

How can you? It's clean.

Thank-you all for your kind words. I'm a petrolhead so I'll still be around.

What else have you had done engine wise?

It made 500whp after i had the charger put on, but the run stopped early as the fuel pump couldn't keep up. I never bothered running it on a dyno again after changing the fuel pumps and having it mapped again.

It would hit the rev limiter in 5th within 3/4 of a mile at thunder road.
