    Well, if an occasional misfire on 2 cylinders and belching black smoke (prob wet plugs from owner abuse/lack of knowledge) and then of course, an entire shut down once in a while is what you like, then good for you!

    Lucky you took it back to JA to fix the problems, 'cos ff wouldn't have done it for you. ;)

    What would Gil know? He's never been a customer. He's very happy with GV I understand.

    NO

    BRETTS car will have 10-15 BHP more than your old GT4 would have with STANDARD jetting...

    get it right, for ONCE.

    the rest.... yeah yeah...

    Don't worry A26 boy, at the moment you can tell FF his 308 is the fastest based on lap times, and ATEOTD that's all that counts. ;)

    I'm looking forward to HORSE bringing his car out of retirement to challenge me and I'm up to it. :D

    Neither I nor ff are worried one bit about anything!

    Except what he does with all the money, of course, I know "I" don't get it!

    was no misfire it was very fine holes in the headers as pointed out by JA.one look at your Boxer was enough for me,FFS race tap holding the dash togeither,P6's tyres and of course the many years of pommie roads and lack of cambelt changes,what was that Phillip island lap time again.
    the mods need to ban you as without any doubt your Phil.

    It was mifiring, it's the reason you came to see him ("me") you silly old fool!

    "My" boxer is a good car. Bought and sold for prices reflecting condition. Dash was stuck to prevent further shrinkage... big deal????? It needed a dash trim job. And got it.

    lap time was 2.12, using 10 year old tyres and 8 year old cambelts, not revving over 5000rpm as sodium valves still installed, and not using the brakes either, as the discs were so badly warped.

    thats not the reason i came to see you ,you asked me or I said i'd drop down to show you my car,as I don't think you had scene it ,remember it was under a cover at JA's for years.
    the misfire was long after that when as it turned out a coil had failed,which happened after my trip to Sydney in her which as about a year latter.

    sigh....

    HE fixed it, not me... how on earth do you think what you think? I do know what a misfire sounds like though, and you had one, or two, occasionally.

    Yes, the dregs, hey, we all gotta eat?

    Apologies, on behalf of Robert, (pity him, don't punish him) to ALL V8 Ferrari owners for insulting your cars.

    I'm going off line NOW, but one last copy/paste

    >"That was the shutting down I referred to. And you had it when you visited. As well as the misfire. I offered to look at it if you couldn't get back in at JA's for a while (he's a busy man).

    It did it when the car was demonstrated for sale too."

    what a stupid thing to say, then.

    So in other words, there is no HP advantage in a dry sump car any more, which is exactly what I said. *sigh*

    Thanks for confirming.
