again i haven't done much on BT but did get the intercooler put back on tonight, with the ME7 manifold bypassing the intercooler wasn't going to be easy. The turbo pipes are going to nice & short once its all done. I had to make new brackets up to fit it back on because they normally bolt to the radiator has gone
spent 5 minutes today seeing how the new turbo pipes will have to go, worked out very well & managed to use all the existing bits & had a 90degree save
the main change, the intercooler bottom hose to manifold pipe
sweet... comin along then? you gonna get her done this decade at the rate you're goin

its getting there slowly mate, i'm hoping for the Flame & Thunder at the Pod in November but we shall see, i seem to finish one thing then start 2 more on her lol. Got a nice pay-out from work coming in 2 weeks but going to blow that on a nice TT that i've been threatening for a while

I'm good mate... lookin forward to getting the zed back around the 18th of june, with her new, new engine installed (and warrantied this time lol)
I'll pay you a visit, when she's done, so you can see how a real fast car moves... hahaha
haven't had any time to do anything recently, got a few things sorted & got 4 wheels coming (actually 2 x perfo, & 2 x columba's but no-one will notice lol). I'm also getting a turbo-tuner ecu once i get some pennies friday, got loads of other things i want as well but depends how much the taxman robs off me
i'm also looking into converting BT to RWD, after talking to a specialist who's told me the weaknesses of the AWD/transfer box i'm very tempted to give it a go. Just need to find a AWD rear axle & M58 box
my bro's told me he's buying a car trailer, so aslong as i can get her in a reasonable condition & back up & running should be at Bruntingthorpe. It'd be nice to drive her there but we shall see

even with a week off on i've managed to sort quite a few bits for BT. At the peterborough show, met up with a mate who gave me a pair of Columba's. I also got myself an unbelievable bargain on a crash helmet, was advertised for £70, talked him down to £50 because of a few marks on it, then found i'd only got £40 cash so he took it lol. Got a metre of 45mm silicone for the radiator pipes as well. Then on holiday i kidnapped CallyUK who helped me get a Saxo power-steering pump from a local scrappy (the ebay one never turned up), also thanks for letting me have a drive of Amber, very nice to get behind the wheel of a T-5 again (just a shame about the gearbox lol). I also picked up a pair of rear fogs to go on the parcel shelf, going to use them as high-level brake lights & have them switchable as marker lights for night racing. Just got to fit it all now then lol
wish you'd told me you wanted some wheels, I'v just given 4 away with good tyres.

got a tool for cutting thru the window silicone, Perspex rear window is now on the cards. Not sure if i'm going to bother with the rear quarters, probably will if i'll save 0.1kg lol
got a house full of bridesmaids this morning so done a bit more on BT to keep out the way lol. Finally cut & drilled the box section for the proper radiator mounts, alot stronger than the alloy, also picked up 3metres of 0-gauge wire to rewire from the battery to the kill switch. Got some longer bolts so the throttle body is mounted properly onto the ME7 manifold now, got to drill the final 2 but its stronger enough & sealed well without them so not panicing about them for now
mate this is gona be a beast love the number plate hehehe

hahahaha seen many in my time as sure many members have on here. a freinds got a 500bhp supra numberplate B11AVE number plate bolts in the normal place makes the 11 into H tho the best numberplate i ever saw that i wanted was S70LEN hehehe and theres a chevy blazer going round well there was with numberplate 4WD hahaha and another by me is a range rover sport CRY1N i had N19WRX on me scooby wasnt anything special but would love to get another plate sum day. all the plates i want are stupid loodacris prices sadly hahahaha saw a ferrari one day with PI77 0ff and another ferrari on a gumball rally his number plate was 100NEY or something like that
hahahahaa yes would be a great plate that numberplates are a great touch on any car i think. just sad that all the plates id want and like cost 10x or more than what my car is worth hehehe and most wouldnt be able to go on my car due to its year
not done anything major, but did get some more grinding done (rear seat support gone & little unused brackets), fixed the wire in for the battery & got the vac out & cleared the dust out
its so easy to work inside BT with everything removed
wonder if they'll let me race without these lol
You managed to drain the pond that had appeared then mate?
