However the day was cut short, as some of you know we had problems at MITP with it blowing a core plug out, this was put down to the sealed cooling system getting overpressurised after doing three runs one after the other. However after running it today, the cooling system was pressurised a ridiculous amount after every run, and required lots of bleeding etc, it seems we have a head gasket problem, so the day was cut short. . Are you using the steel 3 piece gasket or a turbo one? Loaded question bearing in mind this set up cannot be retorqued like 5 port or as easily as a 5 port? On 5th Sep, 2011 Vegard said:

Currently a turbo BK450, I'm going to pull the head today so we'll see whats what, as you say retorquing not really viable and hence didn't get done!

i reckon with a roof chop sprint-style, you could get pretty damn close to 11s with the setup you've got there.

No the quaife would be worse to be honest. The salisbury is a very old design which makes the car not all that easy to drive over bumpy surfaces etc, but on a drag strip it transmits maximum torque to whichever wheel has any grip.

it may just about be possible to get an MOT but that does not make it road legal. |

it may just about be possible to get an MOT but that does not make it road legal. So what would it need in your opinion to be road legal that it does not have? It has wipers and washers, that both work. It has headlights and sidelights that work as they should. It has indicators that work as they should. The tell tale lights on the dash work. It does not have a rear fog light or hazard lights as its too old to need them. The wheels/tyres are fully covered by the arches. The seat is securely mounted as are the belts, which are E-marked and road legal. The handbrake does not currently work, but I have drawn up some plates to fit behind the rear pads to allow a mechanical cable to be attached and connected to function. Regarding emissions the ECU can be altered to make the fuelling whatever is required to pass the MOT. It has two door mirrors and an interior rear view mirror. It is fitted with Yoko A008 road tyres with nearly 5mm of tread on them. It has a glass front windscreen. The front doors can be opened from either the inside of the car or the outside of the car. So what, may I ask, is the problem that does not allow it to be road legal??? Edited by Tom Fenton on 28th Aug, 2007.

Tom. I think you should put a I-pod holder in it as well. That then also ticks the box of having 'ICE' and is another tick in the box for actually qualifying for a vehicle that 'could' be used on the road... On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

It has two door mirrors and an interior rear view mirror. Handbrake is a pretty big thing, but also largely irrelevant IMO as it isn't going to turn a 12.7 into a 13.5 due to weight or anything else. Two mirrors? It only needs one. Think of the excess weight!!! What about the boot floor? If this is steel, then it ticks every box I reckon. On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:
