Nope!

Not yet anyway.

The new engine gilttery mini is now mostly built, just needing a few bits like fit turbo oil drain and oil pressure releif.

The bigger jobs are:

Fit: flywheel and clutch
water pump
turbo

:cool:

Oh yeah then I suppose I have to fit it to the car and run it in. The car probably needs an mot too *angry*

Its gonna be close!

i cant get my hands on an AP rally plate from anywhere round here, and i dont fancy paying avonbars prices for one then + delivery aswell. Just got me fingers crossed that minits get some in stock this week. I'll find out on the rollers this week anyway how badly i need a new plate.

got a list of odd jobs to get sorted out aswell as helping kean move house...glad i got the week off work *wink*

My engine is nearly ready to go in, just sorting the little things like turbo pluming (it wasn't right - and finding this out now is annoying!).

Hopefully thursday/fri for fitting.

The problem is then MOTing it... I might just be there on the sunday :(

Arches, one door, one quarter light window, an MOT and I'll be ready.

Going for a spin in it tomorrow night once the paint has dried and the door is rebuilt.

Bloody alternatore is making more noise than the engine

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

If my plenum sorted (and the car makes it!), I’ll be arriving at Avon on Saturday afternoon and camping over

It would be good to catch up over a brew or two, so do you know where you guys will be camping, or should I look out for the TM banner flying high!

i'm having clutch issues at the minute. kean wound his up to 15psi the other day and it fried the clutch so we both had our flywheels off and got the backplate lugs machined down so the spring sits flat. put em back together and his drove off straight away whereas mines being a cunt, had no clutch at first and now the bites in the carpet, jus doesn;t seem to get enough movement on the arm for some reason and its a new arm/plunger/slave etc...

early start in the morning now to get both cars to the rollers for 10:30am.
