I can't believe it's been over 2 months since I updated this. quick one before I go out. Last night I offered up the improved intercooler...



It's now running and after hopefully having reslved the issues I had with my brakes on tuesday another big step closer to being on the road. Let's see what weather the weekend brings us

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

Well after doing very little for a long time I picked up my new dash this week and have been working on fitting it.


The other half is in the car and its a bit too dark to take photos at the moment. Progress is at a halt until some more cutting discs arrive for my dremmel, but it's nice to be making progress again

Move the exhaust closer to the bin you mean.... ?? Apart from that it looks like it's coming together nicely.

OK: Thermostat stud sheared in the 'head. Precisionally (?!) accurate stud extractor secured. Stud extractor "handle" wrecked. Mole grips. Slipping. Pair of Stilsons. WHACK! Stud extracor snapped. Black eye. Job [not] done.

Give up.

Cylinder head exchange.
