Let me get this right tom,you first put the 2ltr 16v engine in with an F16 box,then replaced it with an F20,and now it whines like a girl? Thats bad luck that is.
At least the engine is good,(thank god!! As i checked it out!)

Yus ; they are inertia as opose to braked rollers. It's just whether or not I will keep traction...

and TBH ; I think you're gonna have that problem Sam.

AndrewM · 13-11-2003, 08:52

A few fatties sitting on the slam panel should help...!

SammyP · 13-11-2003, 09:03

Yeah Dave last Rollers I went on I had to have as Andrew says 'a couple of fatties sitting on the slam panel'

DaveB · 13-11-2003, 19:08

Bren tried that with the same power you're running...made no odds.

Well Lane isn't renowned for FWD power over 200bhp unfortuanetly

BTw: Sun is forecast so get out the polish lads

AndrewM · 13-11-2003, 19:36

Hopefully itll be dry Saturday to give mine a clean, no doubt itll be black by the time I get there though
