Officially registed and insured as of today....

Let the fun begin

Well done.

Here are some pics of the car as it stands, not exactly pretty, but neat enough for a daily.

Hopefully by the end of the weekend, I'll have it lowered and on the 13's. Injection has been running on the test engine. That'll be next.

Well, it's been a while and haven't actually done a great deal lately.

After lifting the bonnet to discover I had a leaky water pump, I thought it was about time I spent a little time on the old girl... Discovered that one of the bolts was missing on the pump!! Put one in, tightened it up, no more leaks... Easy fix. Also had to change a rear wheel cylinder after discovering a spongy peddle one morning.

Still yet to fit the lowered front struts as I recently acquired a pair of twink legs so may convert to coilover instead...[x2x]

Other than that, my trusty celica box has developed an annoying whine in 4th and 5th around 100km/h... Might be time to change it over, otherwise, I'll just add some more oil and see if it solves the problem.

Needing a distraction from teaching rounds, and seeing BLOWNMK12L's setup for sale, I thought it was about time to drag the old supercharged motor out of hibernation........

Haven't had it running for few years so dragged it out and redid some of the brackets. Just need to space the charger back 5mm and possibly fit an idler pulley, although it ran fine without one last time....

Here it is after sitting for 4-5 years...

I was wondering when someone would pick up on that....

It was lying around and fitted... so why not??

By the way, my old green escort is now in the states being coverted to left hand drive and god knows what drive line setup....[8~2]

god highmounts look so much better, only thing ive found with these plastic turbos is that they are not a fan of excessive surge (dose) as ive found when mine kicked the compressor housing off the cartridge and made contact with the impeller blades, but if you only plan of running lowish boost levels they are an ok turbo. and the internal wastegate setups they run are rubbish, if you are using it expect lost of wastegate creep and boost spiking as they do not flow enough air to maintain steady boost control. treat yourself to a nice external set up. then everyone can have the pleasure knowing you are at full boost
