Grove garage probably rings a bell

That'll be it then. Going to have to google them just to reminisce!

I'm wondering whether Graham Goode used to sell their stuff.

Grove garage did all live mapping on the road , I sat along side the bloke while he live mapped my 1.9 st2 specialised engine from grays essex in a h plate series 2 Rs turbo oh it was fun hearing the turbo spool up peaking at 21psi and tailing off to 20 what a beast it was

Brave fella, I reckon I'd have a melt down hearing my engine being caned on a rolling road.

I drove past skip browns the other day on route to Nottingham had lots of old school Peugeots out side 205gti 309gti
They did a kit to convert a 206 into cosworth powered

This was done on the open road oh it shifted, the bloke had Clarksons old escort cosworth at the time as his daily drive

 

[andythom188]

Yes I think his 180 map is very well sorted.

I've just looked at my emails Martin from pendal has pencilled me in for Saturday the 29th 9.30 4wd rolling road remap happy days

Not quite in the same spirit, but my cousin has put a VAG 1.9tdi into his winter car, a Subaru Imprezza. Don't ask me how, it came from a old Audi A4 quattro, and took a lot of time.

In a similar vein, a T25 Synchro in Galicia had the same 2.5 Subaru engine as our Outback put in it. Maybe the VW and Subaru engines are fairly cross compatible?

I'm sure I read somewere about splitscreen campers fitting Subaru engines but if wanted big power needed to fit a Porsche 915 transmission
I've come across a splitty in Birmingham Volkswagen magic with a 2.2 Honda engine

This was the T25/3; raised, nice interior. Only that van and ours could get to the cliff edge spot thanks to 4wd.

One of my favourite vans. And yes the brakes had been upgraded..

Hasn't Jamie Oliver got a Splitty with a Porsche Boxter engine in it? Seem to remember the Stig taking it around the TG track whilst J.O was in the back trying to make a salad.
