Cool there are a few bypasses around here to rip around. Would love to do mitp but no can do bloody typical as i'm off shift then but i have arranged to do other things that weekend.

[rick.spi]

well after confusing myself with the inners of the most simple carb around martin (from mra) kindly helped me sort it out, which meant i could assemble this load of items (plenum is a john flan special and its a jason G heatshield, both turbo minis members if you want to purchase either).







deadline is the end of this month now for the car to be in MOT able state.

more updates soon

Can I ask how much that plenum chamber was? and did you have to do an exchange?

[rick.spi]

yes its on an exchange basis, or he will take yours and send it back. i live close so i didnt have to deal with delivery and the likes, best bet is to PM giallofly on turbominis for a price (but he is quite a busy man so dont expext a next day reply) as i honestly dont know how much it is as i had my intercooler modded aswell, its is very very reasonable price tho, especially as its comes back as good quality as it does. well worth the money.

edit: you also send him you turbo outlet pipe as he modifies this for intercooler fitment aswell.

come on rick, ive had mine mot'd and blown it up already lol. wheres yours at?

also where did you get your heat shield from and how much?

[rick.spi]

haha sorry, its getting there.... martin+co and me will be making a real big crack at it this week to try and get it ready for mitp...

there should be some big updates soon

heat sheild was from a guy on turbominis called jason G, i would highly recommend them as they are a top quality item .

so keep you eyes on this thread next week, and with a bit of luck maybe just maybe on the strip on the 15th.

i like the way your thinking!

If there's anything that could motivate you to work on a car, it's got to be caning it down the 1/4 mile.

Either that, or overtaking a Saxo on a B road.

Anyway, good luck chap.
