Yeah for sure dude, as me and Ben call pandsmoc - POSmoc haha. I think they find fitting CB radios and fluffly dice more interesting than engine builds.

I'll give you a shout when I take the arches off mate, probs get the car on the road first though and then get some new arches!

You can have the actuator whenever I dont need it, no cash monies needed or anything. I'll help you with the cam timing fo sho! Ben - can we use your timing disc? *Idea*

Cant get over the wheels, the look ace, who refurbished them?

CB radios, how true..

yeah, whenever baout the arches, as for the wheels.. i did them, split them apart, polished them at work in the polishiing shop and shot blasted the centre, spot of paint.. new bolts with nilocks, job and done

just not decided what tyres yet, as for the cam timing and actuator, top dog.

and yes, hurry up with your car, surely being at home all day makes you wanna crack on

Nice, the look wicked!

Yeah ive been trying too, did a few bits yesterday but I need a few brackets and shiz making really which is going to be the pain in the arse.

Hopefully finish it soon though, im debating on going for an offshore job or not which is on a plate for me, 4 weeks on 4 weeks off though but with a massive salary, would ideally like it done asap if I do go for it...... *oh well*
As for tyres, i reckon yoko A008's are they?? Something like that, the semi slick style ones anyway *tongue*

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.
