Great project!
Not taking any short cuts are you..

How did you get all the alu bits (carb, gearbox, clutch housing) soo clean and shiny? Did you put a coating of some kind over it after cleaning?

Dazed and Confused....

Mate i taped my 1st FPR but i found that it would leak under load and when i niped them up a bit it would crack, so now i have 4 F##ked ones in the shead just have one on stand by.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.
