Hey ajm55 ... another saffa here living in London now for my sins...

Good to have you on board. I got Kleemans and they had to be "dressed" to clear the steering column nothing major just to make the down pipe clear it neatly, but needs to be done properly. Also you need to weld the bits in place that probably a decent kwikfit shop could do...

Dunno if you know them but when I was still there Rob Green did some amazing stuff to BM's and all cars dunno if he is still doing it but was a top shop when I left.

Gave SL proper carrots in the first ODI !

Thanks Steve. Decided to go with locally manufactured (TNT) long tube headers. Heard good reviews and drove a 55 a short while back with those headers and an ECU remap only and was impressed. They will hopefully be fitted this coming week. Thanks foe the feedback re the Kleeman though. I almost went this route. Cory from Kleeman was very helpful

As it happens, Rob has done a pulley upgrade, decat and ECU remap for me. Got 311wkw on his dyno which is close as dammit to what he told me to expect. I'm hoping the headers will help a lot with the breathing and add some noticeably grunt.

Good job in the cricket. How's the weather?

Good to see Rob still at the top end of the modding world. I would say TB next coupled to some Piper / K&N filters... v nice. U still only get 93 RON fuel on the reef?

All Shell and Sasol filling stations, some BP have 95 RON, while all the other branded filling stations only have 93 RON. At the Reef.

What was once the Majestic Witwatersrand.

Selected few Shell filling stations owned by Zunaid Moti, have 100 RON pump gas.

The "weather" actually isnt so bad, its the daylight hours that get to u in the end.
