Lol, it'd be a right bender bus then! TBH it doesn't look like that in real life, the iPhone made it look pearlescent!

I've relented and washed it after 10000 miles. A customer commented there was mold on the outside and that's not a good look. Centre caps are back too!

It's no taller with a dry sump than my current K is. A built 2.3/2.0 duratec is about the same money. Base 2.0 duratecs are cheap, the bell housing is only £200, bodies and cams on a std bottom end would give 200bhp and 170lb/ft. A ford ranger 2.3 with bodies and cams might do 210bhp/190lb...

Saw one of these today. Amazing.

Re wire done. Fires up like a beast now. I really want a new manifold for no real reason...

I missed dry sump off, so add another £800 for that. £3300 is big dolla for a conversion.

Well, after a lot of measuring a K20A would fit. I can have a bellhousing cast in aluminium to fit my type 9 for £500. K20a with ECU = £800 Loom = £200 K pro = £300 Bell Housing = £500 Manifold = £500 Mounts = £200 Other bits = £500 £2500 ish for a running 220bhp K20 conversion with me doing...

Its got the K click. I'll make a direct 12v shunt for the solenoid. The original rover set up only gives about 11v to it.

It seems my starting issues are down to a small fire I've had at some point...

I've been offered all the parts to turbo this for £800 inc new turbo.... Would run 210bhp. Will probs go bang, but it'll go bang anyway right.....

Bloody thing..... On the upside the new brakes are awesome. I've gained some pedal travel, so I'll have to relocate the throttle pedal now.

How easy/hard was it?

I had the Recaro's in mine

I loved mine too. It only had 30k on it when I owned it last year.

No yet. I wanted it finished first. My issue seems to be is the fact each brake circuit has its own master cylinder. The fronts are well bled and nice and firm, the rears are still full of air and knackered fluid. This difference in resistance between the two master cylinders is causing the...

No the cage is too far away from them. I'll have a think how best to fit those later. At the moment the braking system is favouring the rears, so I've get that to sort next. Along with a tiny oil leak from the oil pressure sensor. Took it for a quick test drive yesterday and apart from the...

Rob are you actually coming?

FU! The alpina is awesome.

10 weeks on. Old man weekend driver Track weapon

When do we get the video of you slinging one up the wide in the back of it?

Carbon NV. Took ages to come but well worth it. Trying to decide how to fit the doors on now...

Is this a what car thread but in the media section?

Yes!

Side door mock up

Now we are talking....

My carbon half doors and front wings are here! Full carbon is sexy.

Small update. Brand new twin pot 54mm callipers with DS2500 pads A new throttle body (52mm) and elbow and air filter to replace the knackered one. My old throttle body was a 48mm one with a "wedge" in it to limit flow. The VVC shouldn't have a wedged throttle body, so that's a bit weird...

They rattle like f**k and I took them off then kinda forgot. It rolled over 80000 today too.

It is cheap. But the bi turbo engine is so much nicer!
