Fortunately for me my Missus step brother is a very talented mechanic who has agree to help me (do the majority whilst I make brews) with the turbo conversion. This was the state of play when we left it last weekend Unfortunately we had a few hiccups. Firstly was that on the day we were due to...

@JonC219 how much would you charge to do the turbo for me mate? :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As above, can anyone tell me the correct spec bolts for the inlet manifold please and if anything special is needed for them? Mine are looking quite tatty and would prefer to refresh Also if anyone knows the correct size torx for the airbox bolts as mine are rusted like crazy! Thanks in...

I'm happy to summarise these at some point, I've got an ongoing spread sheet which helps me realise what a t**t I am! I don't typically record sundries such as nuts / bolts / tools etc.. an example being when I did the tie rods, I went through 2 specialist tools before getting it right. Was a...

Big things a coming over the next few months Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

New bits arrived a couple of weeks ago. I've not got round to getting them fitted yet as I'm at an age now where all my friends seem to want to get married. Hope to get them sorted in the next few weeks, as I fancy Combe on the 13th. 8kg / 8kg with adjustable top mounts Sent from my iPhone...

Got some new goodies arriving shortly, to cure he crippling understeer I've grown oh so fond of. Had a great day at Bedford with a mate of mine on Wednesday. Also, looks good on its chariot! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I really enjoyed that, thank you! I'd love to get into racing, what would you say is a decent budget to get a standard 'track spec' car to 750 standards? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
