Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

you might want to think about some mesh on the clutch cover.

stones into the clutch might get noisy *smiley*

ok then 2 pics of yesterdays work i have loads of room in there. I have no pics of todays work as i was to dark. I got all the fuel lines in.




So will the fuel pump work on the back seat? As i have not got much room in the boot as the wheel gets in the way.

It does look damn good.
How do you find the Stack gauges?
I've been looking for the right gauges for so long and these aren't too expensive, look nice and simple, just wondered what you thought of them.

Simon, quick one on the pump.

Usually the pumps push so need fuel to them, they dont suck very well, so the back seat maybe too far away.

Hi-Great looking car and great rebuild as well, the gt17 is a fab piece of kit. As for rear seat mounted pump,not sure if you mean this exactly, but this is my setup-not had any problems with it so far

To be honest havent got a spare and never even tryed a wheel in there,Its not a massive setup but I suppose it depends on your wheels, mine are 5x10 minilife, can take a wheel off and try it in there after work tommorow if thats any help.

That look a proper job! Any chance of knowing the sizes for lazy folk! The amount of times my carb came off last year these would have been a god send :)
