Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

Only slot i can get on the rollers is friday morning!!!

And as you've probably figured out, yes its Friday 13th!

Hopefully its rollers in the morning then straight to avon afterwards.

I was kind of hoping to have a few days to sort any issues but doesnt look like it...

Fingers crossed!!

Hopefully you'll have a day at the RR like I had yesterday.

Once we stopped the car wheel spinning, all it needed was a tweek of the needle.

Good luck, I'm looking forward to having a poke around your car.

cutting it fine as normal. changed the turbo last weekend then found the oil feed pipe leaked. this weekend i removed and stripped the turbo to bits to fix the feed pipe and refitted the turbo.

sunday afternoon, took it for a drive and the clutch slips!!!

new clutch should be here tuesday and its a bi*$h to change due to all the stuff under the bonnet!

i cant see me making it to avon:(

stripped mine out ready last night with the intention of chipping away the stuff from the floor but there's none there!
trouble is some cunt had superglued the carpet underlay to the floor so now it looks like a wookie. been scrubbing it with white spirit and its taking ages.

Heads coming off on wednesday night aswell so i can get some new guides fitted on thursday save smoking everyone out at avon :)

So will I. Baldwin has come down with a case of shingles so my RR session has been cancelled. I might have to run an un-set up engine GULP.

I seriously doubt it!
