Well happy with how it looks now. £60 for the seats and £170 for the wheels. Now it's ready for the turbo.







This is how it looked when I got it. http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=314305

Yes 998 turbo. The V5C says 998 so it's ideal really.

Looking for 110 to 120 bhp with a GT15. The plan is to finish it early next year then go to the Classic Le Mans in it.

If anyone interested I'll be putting up a thread soon about the planned trip. No modern cars alowed.

Metro Van is fine, you can carry the beer!

I'm building a fresh engine for this one, pretty much the same spec as the green one, but with a 266 cam (I found one in the garage) and a GT15. also I'm using a skimmed 295, so I'll use dished pistons (or dish some flat tops.

There is less roon than you'd think for an IC, got a few ideas.

You can't go to Le Mans Classic. That'll be Avon weekend.

I've got a set of five 20773s at plus 20 if you are interested.

RR day followed by MITP it is then.

Was thinking of using a set of Hypertecs to be honest, they've been great in the TT.

Is that the 295 you had on the green one when it was NA? If you're skimming one, don't let Paul find out haha

Very much like a mini, a bit quieter as the GRP is nice and thick at the bulkhead. the 13" wheels are a lot stiffer than the ols 80 profile 12s, so it's even more mini like now.

There is one street in my village, along it house range from £200k to over £1 million, I have without doubt the oddest car, but no complaints yet.

One neighbour used to ibject about me parking the Justy outside his house though.
