You can smell it on my breath for days after though.

RedRaven. Of course you have to bring your car? What are you thinking of?

The distance is about the same I have to do. And I bet yours does more MPG than mine.

Cant beat a few gealic mushrooms

RedRaven, what are you waitin on, is the car driving? Will AKA Neil is the man for parts, just send him a line and he'll get you what you need.
If you had ordered the bits from summit yesterday you'd have had them on wed or thurs, if its only service bits your looking for try match bits up in southside motor factors, steven, mark or ger will help if they can.

Mostly stuff you could have got cheaper and faster at Summit Racing. I did tell you only to use Year One as a last resort as they are more expensive than everyone else.

Sixpack Speedshop will be there. They are bringing stuff people order so you can pick it up. I am after a new trunk mat for my Chally and at 65 Euros all in from them it is not a bad price.

Well Im waiting to hear back from them on one or two things and they told me they wouldnt proceed with the order until I tell em...

What from that list would you say they would have at Santa Pod Dave??

I have a ballast resistor at home and a spare coil, got new one from summit "mopar performance" coil kit with the bits $35, dont mind the rest just top it up with oil and it'll be fine

.
You can do the rest when you get back, its a long year to wait for the mopar nats again ask anyone here!

Ha Ha....Ive stripped the old valve gaskets off, they were welded on...I can only start the car from under the hood and I have to hold the key in the start position in order for it to keep running, when I let go and the key returns to the run position the engine cuts out...I dont fancy holding the key in the start position all the way to Santa Pod!!!

And thats provided everything else is ok...I wont want to hold you guys up..nor do I fancy being stuck in the at the side of the road in the U.K.!!!

Run 1 & run 2 wires from the ballast - power when you crank, no power to coil/orange box when you let the key go, easy fix.
