Are these the bad boys you do with the feeler gauges & take about 5 mins to do?

I think your the corsa I saw in roth the other night? My mate in the XE smoked you didnt he? lol
Thatl be me yeah, was chasing tappits' XE off migweb. His corsa is stripped and well quick round corners, caught him on the straight tho. 
Round that bendy duel carrigeway, my wheels we spining all over the shop as you saw, kinda scary at 100mph! An xe's always gonna have the advantage of smoother power delivery tho.
T'is all good fun

Where you live then dude? You running p3.5 too then?
Your back end went for a bit of a wander on the duel carrageway when you were after him on the long right hander! Must of been when you changed gear! Looked a bit mad.

More or less standard LET power mate, think I was in 4th round that long right hander about 5K RPM, was right up behind tappits, then backed off, all the power went, weight shifted, then backend went walkies, then put the power back on and straightened out etc etc, did that a few times. Decided it was a good idea to slow down rather than skid or drive into the back of tappits motor
Tappits motor is proper quick round the curly bits tho

Your car shouldn't be spinning the wheels at 100mph then dude! I'd be pissed off if mine did unless it was raining bad! Is everything ok on the front end?
Tappits certainly isn't scared to push his car hard!

Nah, coming down crookes valley road, just past the traffic lights/cross roads, just before brookhill roundabout.
I was well shook up when I parked my car, I parked it in a 2hr limit zone and forgot, went back at 5pm and I still hadnt got a parking ticket (all day!) - THERE IS A GOD!
Bastard! I got a parking ticket today in Sheff.

Bit longer than that Matt.
You've got to take wear into consideration aswell.
(Pintos are bad for this, that's why i'm not a fan.
You can ruin your knuckles doing a set to factory settings, put it all back together and knock knock knock knock, the bastards are still out due to wear).
Plus there's the removal and refitting of anything that's in the way, and the prepping and resealing of the head to rocker cover join.
