those series 1 arches look so a lot wider than the series 2 but we used a replica kit instead of chopin up an original and the fitment was shit
Just a couple more cross braces for the cage to be added and the new front panel will be ready to go in an them we can pait the inside white and the cage orange. what you peeps rekon

well thats about all we managed. intercooler is definatly ariving tuesday and the fabricators are at work with the alloy that'll be end of the week tho


oh yeah we managed to spray a load of sealer all over the engine bay as well this is what took all day whilst i was delivering a car back to a customer- and he thinks he got a lot done he must have been for half the time

yes here it is at last quite impressed not 100 % but then these things never are when theve been flown half way round the world. wait till weve driven it into the tyre wall then it will be proper modded.

hopefully rest of the stuff be here by end of the week.
project rs daddy turbo has been on a go slow this week every thing else seems to be getting in the way, and now the missis wants to go away for the weekend .

oh well check back ere soon folks for another update on project rs daddy

right im off on weekend break heres quick up date

we ended up choping the whole of the centre of the front panel out and part of the cross member, but dont worry gives us an excuse to make it even stronger as we wanted the intercooler to sit level with the lights this was the only way


obviously it is straight but we just rested the headlights in there and they are wonky

cheers guys we dunno what spec the turbo will be yet as we keep on upping the spec of the head and inlet. when we get to it weel have to have a propper look and a chat with some manufacturers

any one got any idea's? we were thinking gt35 or maybe just go t66 or sumthing stupid. its gotta be able to spool up quick and not run out of puff.
we wanna run 2 bar. oh yeah and anti lag

i heard that this years gt series turbo's have the compressor wheel and shaft rated to take the heat of anti lag, has any one had any expierience of these.
