Well... Today was judgement day whether I had bitten off more than I could chew turbo wise. Bill (as was I) was very sceptical about it fitting. Unfortunatly, at the current turbo flange angle of ther TSR Manifold made it impossible to fit :( But it was SO close. I wasn't giving up. So I took...

Does the "rubbin's racing" apply to the engine bay?

So Nipped down to TSR this morning and asked if I could be cheeky and borrow one of they're manifolds for a dry buildup to see what fitment issues I shall have, now, how many companies would let you walk out of there with a £1000rrp manifold with no payment atall? Just aswell I'm quite friendly...

From what I've seen around 'teh internetz' its good for 550+...

Had a delivery today. OMFG. And next to a tiny k04...

I've got 5kg from what I've removed already. Heat gun and a wallpaper scraper and it almost falls off.

Thanks mate :) Well started with a full interior this morning. By lunchtime I was left with this: I then went to B+Q and bout 2 wall paper scrapers and a heat gun, and started removing the tar/sound deadening from the rear forwards. Then cracked on with grinding the seams ready for...

Who supplied your new CHRA? It seems your having as much luck with yours as I have with mine... eliminator appearing to be a curse!

If you mean the Quaife? The diff was £660 including the bolts. Now for some bad news :( Bearing failure :( Video: Went at full chat, plenty of oil drained out the turbo, so this rules out a feed issue. Engine came out today, ready for the 'big' build. "if at first you don't suceed, buy a...

Yeh boost pressure is behind that of the k04, but air flow is near enough equal hence not really feeling 'slower'

Been having a little bit of a crisis recently with the car. Unsure whether to break it for parts, and buy something else, just settle as it is, carry on ploughing cash into it... Then had the thought of making it a road legal racer to compete with Bill in the Combe saloons championship. I think...

Oh certainly. Its an absolute missile once rolling. in gear 40-140 is quite frankly scarey.

Workshop is in Glastonbury :) and we're less than a mile from clarks village so perfect excuse to have your car done as the mrs can go shopping ;) Update: Comparison to the K04. Not quite the result I was hoping for tbh, but I believe this is down to the K04 flange being too restrictive...

Well, new fuel pump fitted today, Cable tie was until i could replace it with a jubilee clip. Wired in with the other pump with an inline fuse. New RC8 Pads And its nice when people take pictures without you knowing...Yes I really need to shave... And on another note, I'm going to semi...

Few deliveries to fit this weekend... Compbrake top mounts and my new RC8 pads :) We also have the arrival of my £400 beater :)

Thanks. yes it s 2871 eliminator, was from a member on here.

A diff is certainly on the cards, I've got a spare box to rebuild, just time and money I don't. I went for the awesome GTI Clutch

Thanks fella, Yes it felt really good at combe, but there was too much traffic and too little traction to really press on. Joel seems to know what hes doing from my experience. Ive got a half decent idea of suspension setups from doing my apprenticeship in a motorsport based workshop, but it was...

So update. Unfortunalty, my camera died after about 4 pictures. Basically, all was ok, until, it came to fitting the downpipe. the 2871r is longer in a dimension somewhere meaning the relentless manifold and downpipe fouled each other. so a bit of 'tolerancing' was required. a small dink in the...

I have ordered my new brake pads RC8 Outrageous stopping power, these pads must only be used with other CL products as power is so high. These are for use in the most severe conditions such as GT racing, WRC Tarmac, World Touring Car, and NASCAR. I think they'll do.
