turbo ftw!

Got the wastegate tag cut and rewelded on the turbo so it points the right way (With help from my brainy assistent)

.

That tag will now add 20bhp because its on dead straight (if you look boss eyed ).

Getting there mate, I see ive left my diff there I will pop round and pick it up at some point .

haha nice try mate! you're welcome to come and try to collect the diff, just bear in mind i have a drawer full of various hammers, lol.

we're fitting the engine tomorrow night if you get bored.

[Turbo Nick]

engines been in a couple of days now, still can't start re-fitting ancillaries untill my flange turns up which i'm assured will be monday






Off to the show in the morning to pick up a few last little bits and bobs.

[Pauly]

Get what you needed from the show dude?

Paul.

[Turbo Nick]

a few bits and bobs yeah, main thing i wanted was a subby for the monaco but no-one had one and huddersfield wouldn't split em. Going to try and pop into minispares tomorrow and see if they've got one in stock....haha.

[Pauly]

"Sorry mate ay got none, gunna be a 4 wick waiting list on um" .

Paul.

[Turbo Nick]

they've only got them on the shelf! will pop in tomorrow afternoon and grab one methinks.

[Turbo Nick]

Getting there now slowly, MOT is booked for 9am saturday so fingers crossed it might go ok...

Flange turned up yesterday so me and kean made the elbow last night and got a few of the ancillaries bolted up.

Managed to squeeze a quick hour in this afternoon between jobs and got the drivers seat fitted. not happy with the subframe at all, needs to be lower and further back but it's not stopping me getting it MOT'd so i can sort it the weekend.

Ant's checked all the wiring for me tonight and all lights, gauges, indicators etc are good to go.

Had to adjust the subframe slightly to get a bit more downpipe clearance and re-engineer my actuator arm a bit.

Looking good for first fire up tomorrow night with any luck.

Big thanks as usual to my mates Kean and Anton and to our new recruit Pauly

[Pauly]

Nice action shots mate, will pop round tonight to see it fire up.

If you need any last minute things give us a buzz.

Paul.

[Turbo Nick]

no probs mate, just doing a bit now

only things i could with are a small miracle and a couple of blonde 18 year old virgins wouldn't go amiss

[mini_mad69]

didn't take me long to ditch the front seats and fit my recaro's. Got shot of the metro brakes and fitted my modded 8.4's and my 10x6 wellers

What mods have you done too fit your 10" wheels? Because they're the wheels I want too fit too mine.
