Fatty McBoostwagon should be ready in time, ticket bought, fingers crossed it’s out of the garage/bodyshop!

Mine topped out at 136, at 7500rpm on the rolling road (FRZ gearbox) :)

Total waste of money, don’t go anywhere near it! Instead spend your money on servicing with quality parts!!

Pretty much the same parts as I had done :)

Had mine done, no prep just gave it to them, they did sandblast it then paint it with zinc primer before coating it, any good powdercoaters will do the prep for you, one bit of advice: more is cheaper with powdercoaters, one or two small bits will cost a bomb, but if you do a whole pile of stuff...

A few more pics :) Fuel system, pump and filter now under the car, new -8 bottom hose to replace the restricting -6 one that was originally used, i might redo some of the other hoses to neaten them up a little Being recovered when the fuel pump crapped out and left me stranded in...

OK so its been a few months now and I've finally got a day to update this! old 'Turbo Tubby' has had a few ups and downs over the last few months, its had a couple of teething issues and I've broke a few bits but its going well. So i finally got it running after many a headache with the ECU, i...

This looks like it’s shaping up to be a great turn out already :)

Yeay!! Count me in :)

As per title, I’ve not been to s show in the last few years and I need my fix! Anybody else fancy it? Sunday 5th August :)

No dude, externally it’s very similar but the bores are different hence the difference in capacity

Same on both dude, no difference :)

i think you just need to accept that the cam belt needs doing at the same time, no garage is going to replace just the water pump, because when something goes wrong after you’ll be back saying it’s their fault, cars cost money and you can’t cut corners by getting just one thing you know is wrong...

I love these vents now they are fitted! The bonnet is quite easy to sand down - I used a random orbital sander with some 240 paper, took a couple of hours and around a dozen pads, cuts through the faded top coat nicely, I did this 2 years ago but the UV light fades the lacquer over time :(

Picked up the bonnet from the body shop, looks nice and shiny now, the vent were gloss black but unfortunately the paint reacted when drying, so they got redone in matt black, i'm pretty happy with it, also had half hour free this AM so i cut and stuck on some heat shield material

Haha thanks dude, ive had to make a list of people now who are keen for a ride, il add your name ;)

No probs ;)

More progress achieved, the car is half way through getting its exhaust, hard boost pipes and inlet pipe fabricated up, i've also been inspired with my new horn button to call the car megatron lol anyway here are some exhaust pics, its a full 3" system from the turbo back including v-band...

Whole big pile of awesomeness right there :)

This project rocks!! Love it
