    I wasn't talking about the C70, but the R. The C70 needs a bit of work yet.

    Well, after waiting for all the bits to come together, yesterday was turbo change time, first off, it was time to get rid of the old exhaust manifold in favour of a Jap ME7 one (japanifold):


    then on with the 18t :


    Next up was the ferrita downpipe with 200 cell sports cat:



    Luckily I also had a GWE intake pipe, as the old one was shot, though fitting the GWE one was a right PITA, obviously no R&D went into it:



    So, how does it sound? how does it go? No idea, was planning on firing it up this morning and giving it a shake down, but Rachel's been running a temperature since Thursday afternoon, and unable to keep food down, so I've had to drop her off at the hospital this morning.
    Hopefully it'll all be up and running properly in time for Trax. Talking of which, fitted DS2500 pads and braided hoses to the front a few weeks ago, just have the rear hoses and handbrake shoes to do.

    Wow, can't believe it's been nearly 2 years since I updated this thread. Anyway, after a long time bouncing around on cheap Pro sport coilovers, I've taken the plunge, and bought a set of BCs.

    Can't wait to get them fitted, I'll report back once they're on.
