I've created a monster. It's scary. Will update once I've eaten

That's an awesome offer thank you 👍🏻

vids needed for sure

I've taken a touch more camber out, filled up with petrol and loaded up the car ready for tomorrow. Chucked in some tools, spare wheel, jack and fluids just in case. I don't want to call the RAC for something silly. Paranoid much... there's a definite grumble from the drivers side shaft when...

Exactly like this with 100 more on each leg would be great. I asked Chris to do it like this on the 1.2 for the reasons above, made it very tractable rather than a massive slug of torque early on and it was like that for 2 years with no major issues.

I'd be mega chuffed at that, I will be asking Chris to keep the torque low especially early in the revs, similar to the old 1.2t map he did. Should put less stress on everything and i dont want to be trying to deal with mad wheelspin everytime I touch the throttle. A nice flat delivery will be...

Right it hasn't blown up yet (fingers crossed, touch wood, pray to the turbo gods) so all being well and I get there mapping is on Tuesday. What do we think the results will be? Recap, its a stock 205/225/r26 engine, Miltek 3/2.75inch downpipe and front pipe into a 2.5inch mid section and a...

Another spotted, this time on the m50, technically Herefordshire but also seen in Newent

We are ready (I think) Replaced some fuel hose and neatened a few parts up this morning. Cant find any leaks, or strong smells of petrol on that so all seems good. I did have a hissing noise from the map sensor, initially I though it just needed holding down tighter so I used a piece of scrap...

Need to grab some fuel hose tomorrow as a small section by my fpr is leaking, guessing I nicked it on removal or refitting but other than that its on the deck. Might need to tweak the camber a touch too. Then once that's done it's test drive time, yay 😁

right, mapping confirmed for Tuesday, best pull my finger out

Not actually sure yet 😂 but it should be ready if required if nothing else goes catastrophically wrong.

Busy busy day today. So id been firing off lots of offers on eBay since yesterday, but last night, whilst having a 3am s**t I spotted a gearbox that looked correct but it couldn't be identified. No pictures of the label or anything. So i fired off an email asking for the info. Got a reply at...

So, what a shite day. Its always the small quick jobs that go wrong and f**k things over. To top it off I'm actually awaiting conformation from EFI Parts of a mapping date change as someone else cant make their booking. That's meant to be next Tuesday ffs. Right, as we know my gear shift mech...

Anyone want to do a buy before I burn it ffs Urgh not a good day. A simple job now see's me needing a replacement gearbox :cry:

looks fantastic (y)

I used to rock a ph2 11 turbo. Had the most awesome seats. I stripped it and used it as a track car like a fool. Fell off at llandow in that after a rear brake pad fell out and the pedal hit the floor. Great car and totally unsuspecting at the time, was probably circa 180bhp and handled really...

Thanks 😳👍🏻 though I'd not put my pikey build any where near the standard of some of the stuff in here. This is just a lash up of spare parts and too much time on my hands.

Spotted in Newent this morning

Indeed delivery isn't the best, was part the ecu doing things and us throttling it back a little to try and stop it hitting boost cut. Will be nice to just plant it and not worry. Soon soon, will be great if it holds together

that van will be nuts, potentially another 100bhp on what this will make too!

Gave it a quick oil and filter change with the oil delivered from Opie Oils, came with a cardboard funnel which made pouring in the fluid easy enough. Filter itself is easy to get access too from underneath. Hand up between the rad and block and you can grab hold and twist with little bother...

crank it over with the injectors and coil disconnected, make sure it does so nicely and that the oil pressure light goes out (y) if thats good then send it (y)

Quick video for you, low rev limit and tapering in the throttle but you get the idea Sounds like a fart

not just yet.... soon lol

and power delivery that doesnt look like your running up and down hills lol

yeah, im kinda looking for a solid 250bhp out of it which puts me in sight of the e92 m3 in terms of power to weight.

Knew it felt pretty quick vs the old engine! So I have a friend who has a dyno, plopped the Twingo on there to make sure it was fuelling ok and not knocking its tits off whilst racking up the miles. All good at cruise and very close to lambda when driving normally. So we gently increased the...
