Alpha engineering in Selby had a 'crack' at it.

 

[bashracing]

Try Lockside engineering in Cas,

 

[craigyt]

Good shout for lockside

Someone I know in one of the cheap trackday groups has just bought a 340 with a R5 GTT engine in it complete with a TD04.

The red one?

 

[McGherkin]

Yep!

 

[leeds_182]

Yep!

Was on eBay at 3.5k! Strong money but looked boss.

 

[McGherkin]

No doubt I'll probably see more of it in future :up:

 

[leeds_182]

Manifold is back.

 

[leeds_182]

Neighbours from hell.

Judging by that nice black stain on your wall, your exhaust is still firing!

That was courtesy of the 940!

 

[leeds_182]

These should be with me tomorrow.

 

[bashracing]

All I know is they're shiny.

Did you buy them from a ''DRIFT KING''?

Classic swede.

Let's hope their welding is better than their photography!

He maybe blurred it to hide the pigeon s**t.

 

[alistairolsen]

😂😂

 

[Christopher]

LOL! Properly love this.

 

[leeds_182]

Coilovers arrived.

They're orange.

 

[leeds_182]

Coilovers are on, exhaust manifold is on and it's running so much better. Thanks to @craigyt for his expertise AGAIN!

Some pics.

 

[Coops Mk1]

I f**king love this thing

 

[leeds_182]

First wash in 6 weeks today.

 

[bashracing]

Looks shite, sell it!





(to me)

 

[Djw John]

Looks shite

Mission accomplished.

How do those front brakes cope with the extra power?

 

[craigyt]

Love this little thing! Its the complete package now

 

[leeds_182]

They're not bad. I wouldn't like to do a track day or anything but they feel fine for road use.

 

[leeds_182]

Daily driver duties;

 

[leeds_182]

Cool picture of the 340.

 

[S-JM]

Daily goals!

 

[alistairolsen]

Love the deeper dish steels on the 340!

 

[cat171]

I think I said this earlier, it looked a proper POS when you first got it, but it looks pretty damn cool now! I like it!

 

[leeds_182]

340 ownership in a nut shell....

 

[McGherkin]

Just think of it as a very extended test and tweak period :tongueclosed:

 

[S-JM]

Worth getting there for those 5 seconds of drifting heroism last night!

 

[leeds_182]

Just needs a bracket for the carbs and order new hose connectors today.

 

[bashracing]

Just needs a fuckin hoooooge turbo blowing through 2 hif 44 carbs from a metro turbo
