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.

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...
Ive had about 11 Renault 5 gt turbos (shitters go for 4-5k now) one a real nice ph1 in electric blue. R5 Gordini Turbo and my last of the line R5 LeCar 2 Turbo. Clio 182 trophy (sold for 900 without the seats) 4 x Nissan 200sx's (s13 2x s14s and a 14a)
