Recommended Posts

Definately turbo, driving Dave's made my mind up :)

 

Rotrex are good but I think turbo's a better way to go

 

Good man, Turbo is the only way forward mate 8)

 

Dave only running 8psi, you want to try 1 bar :cuckoo:

 

Nice work on the bay, need to do bit of paintwork on mine

Blimey I didnt realise how long its been since I updated this thread!!!

 

Havent had the time to do a proper write up so heres a quick update

 

Itll be a Ultimate Dubs next weekend if anyones going...it wont be as finished as Id hoped,the guy who owns the paint shop has had a death in the family so I cant get in to paint some of the stuff but his family is more importanat than my car...RIP John :salute:

 

Ill get some pics up and write up done after the show...

 

The current news is its all back together and driveable and the MOT's booked for Thursday, just need to fit the interior before the weekend.

Text you earlier mate, lift up is no probs, just dashing out now to top up on Meguires to hopefully get mine looking slightly better than it does in time for the weekend. Did the golf this weekend and it looks cracking! (apart from the rust).

 

Looking forward to seeing yours back in one(ish) piece! :clap:

 

Laters.

Fitted the rear anti roll bar

Goodridge hoses all round

Fitted Wilwood brake bias valve to get rid of the seized up standard one

New handbrake cables

 

Engine

Running a spacer plate and short runner intake in preperation for the turbo so its rather slow :lol:

Header take deleted just running a filler in the top hoses

 

Bodywork

Front wings, slam panel and bonnet still to do ( due to a death in the paint shop guys family)

Servo painted up

 

From UD's
