Horndean - Near Portsmouth

Had the MOT yesterday and the car passed without any major problems!!

Only advisory was one of the front lower shock rubbers had come out of the eyelet abit where somone left out the washer on the back.

Other than that the backbox mounts sheared on the way over thanks to the previous owners bodge-ness.

Thankfully one of the guys at the garage tied it to the subframe with some braising wire which did the trick till i got home.

Took the opourtunity to do a Brocky-esque backbox, buy heating the bend of my old side exit box and bending it straight to come out the centre, but having the tailpipe poking out at an angle still.

So im well happy!! Had some overheating problems but there must have been an airlock so its fine now, other than that think the drops gears have seen better days and the gearbox needs some new gaskets!

Gonna spend the weekend attempting to get it set up nicely and running good so i can trundle up to Avon!

Happy that I only have to pay £18 a month for my insurance aswell - cheaper than my phone bill!!

So yeah, on with the turbo build now. I'll carry on updating this thread when i get some more shizzle done!

Cheers
