  1. I hope it all works out for you mate Not sure about Badger mate, there are a few guys I know that are still serving with the 2 para etc but I left in late 1994. Most of the guys I served with have now left and are doing other things - mostly privately security work out in Iraq/Afghan. Hard to let go and be around civvies I suppose! Once again I hope you get what you deserve.
  2. Ex 2 Para myself mate, how are you fella, another Airborne Warrior;) I have a few questions mate if you dont mind as it may help me to answer your dilema. Were you a regular or TA attached to 3 Para If you were a reg, did you get MD (Medically discharged) Was the injury cause whilst on active duty What caused the injury Did you report it to the Medical Officer Did you have PAX insurance or any other forces insurance whilst on active service Sorry for all the questions mate but if you were a regular and were M.D based on the injuries, you should be able to apply for some sort of pension, not sure if your are TA but fairly sure the procedure would be the same or similar. The time limit on claims is 3 years so you need to move fast if you feel you have a claim. Good luck
  3. have you got any dyno figures for it mate, what it made at what boost levels - it would be good to compare so i can see how they differ.
  4. Cheers mate, i will take a look - who provided the turbo mate, did you get from the usa or uk supplier
  5. Sorry Alex, made my post brfore seeing your reply, i hope my responses help you in what i am looking for. Yes mate, I will have a look the T04Z, whats the differnce between this and the t51, they are both HKS and seem to quote similar power figures!
  6. Thanks guys for the info, the exisiting turbo on the car is supposedly a 67mm turbo but it is laggy as hell, it was making 1bar at 5000rpm and 1.75bar at 5500rpm, it is nothing and then everything. I have 272 cams and veilside intake which I know will increase lag but I was expecting a bit more response. The power delivery is honestly pretty crap, it has low power upto 5500rpm and then goes through the roof from 5500rpm to the redline. it made 600bhp at 1.75bar with the hp increasing from 480 - 600bhp between 5500 to 6750rpm and did not drop off at any stage upto the redline. The power seems abit down on members cars of a similar spec so i think the problem lies with the turbo. It was mapped on a Dyno dyanamics dyno in second gear (auto)so I expect the figures to be there or there about correct and was mapped by Mark Shead. This was done of vpower and Mark said there was no detonation and the charge temps were all good so the turbo was not under unnecessary stress. Mark said obviously the lag can be reduced a bit further but in his opinion the setup was just very laggy. For this reason I want a turbo that will allow 700bhp but generally produce 600bhp at say 1.3/1.4bar with moderate lag. For this reason I was thinking of the T51 as there is a member (ash maybe) who seems to be producing 650 at 1.4bar. Your opinions please on the above would be welcomed.
  7. I am looking to change my turbo, after a recent remap and dyno, i am not happy with my existing turbo (PHR Stage 2+) so I want to change to something better. I was thinking of the T51R, members opinions please on this turbo and where the best place to purchase one would be, ie - uk or usa - any deals going? Also my exiting setup has the HKS GT Wastegate and HKS GT Manifold so the turbo should bolt on but I think I will need another downpipe as it wont fit the PHR downpipe. Can anyone confirm this and if so what downpipe will fit my setup or is it as simple as a new flange to make the PHR downpipe fit the new T51R turbo. Thanks in advance
  8. sorry, dont work for me but i prefer the stock body look.

  15. Hi Keron The pedals and footrest arrived today mate, already fitted them and they look great. Many thanks
  16. Got these on mine aswell, slightly different colour - great wheel
  17. Keron You about mate, I sent you a PM regarding the pedals, get in touch mate, money here waiting.
  18. whats the service history like mate?
  19. Hello mate stupid question but do the heatar control plates just push straight over or is there any fiddley bits/adhesive required to fit these. They look like they just fit over! cheers
  20. As i said the figure seems very high but the guy has no reason to lie. With regards any allowances published regarding food, call me a sceptic but if they can lie about weopons of mass destruction, they can certaintly lie about food allowance. £800 per day, is that alot, a couple of meetings with 3 - 4 eating in some restaurants in London and I am sure you would be looking at £800. Is this so unbelieveable, did'nt Cherie Blair hairdressing bill come to £7,700k for the election campaign, who do you think paid for that!
  21. I was chatting with a well to do fellow who knows/has various friends within local governent etc. Not sure if this is genuine but he had no reason to lie. * He told me that MP'S get £800 per day to spend on food/lunches etc per day. He told me that they do not have to present receipts for this. 650 MP'S x £800 per day x 365 days = £189,800,00 per year * He also said that MP'S can travel 1st class for free, however if they do not travel 1st class and decide to go economy/busibness etc. They can claim the difference back. * Finally - the shop in the house of commons is tax free, no duty, no VAT For me they should declare all expenses but if the above is true, they wont. There would be up-roar if the public found out exactly how much they get. It might be a £50k salary but it is probably a £200k bill on expenses. They are crooks! there are not 3 major parties - it is them and us
