Couple of Pics of the turbo



  Rb 182
Here are a couple. Just gave it a quick wash. Got a few more mods coming this month, braided lines and it needs a service too.

I also removed the 'ouch!' sticker and started to peel off the big Djw one. (the 2 smaller side ones will stay)

Comments please folks.

Hey mate love this car. I purchased some F1 cups for mine this morning. Really tempted by the gloss black finish as I need to get them refurbed at some point. Either going to get them done black or anthracite. Not copying you, I had it in mind before. Would you mind?

Sexy time! I like....the only thing that doesnt do it for me is the mirrors.

Looks ace! do you have any details on the conversion as i went from a jap 1.6 to my 1.2 and dont like the power difference. just need to know what volvo engine will fit in mine but i like the idea of the 1.7 turbo.

Cheers Jake

Ill Pm you and Jake all the details.

Thanks for all the good coments, like i say more still to be done.

I want to do a proper build up thread/vid.

The mirrors are a bit marmite, some like some dont. I hated the standard ones, and the DTM were the only ones i liked!

Brad, yeah use the pics, no worries mate.
