Voted for you too. Does this mean I get away with not buying you a drink at Avon? If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Voted for you Simon but was very tempted by the Minivan resto ! Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

I'd be tempted to change the centre main bolts as the ones you have are only three stripe. Carl Austin can sell you some tip/top finnings CAT bolts with washers which are of a much higher grade. Hi John, Have you every had these fail mate? If so at what power? |

If you fancy a read it was discussed at length in this thread:- http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=154716 Agreed - just wondered.. as i guess these were the ones in my block when i sold it to Simon. If i was building it now i would also use the 5 dash, but they obviously did ok at the power i ran. and minimole im well aware of the benefits 
Simon, sorry for your loss - but keep up the good work, your making great progress mate. |

The banjo could be a problem in the turbo drain, you might have to swap it for a straight union.
