Owned the car for about a month now, and driven it about 50 miles lol, but any way...

Its got 63k with every old MOT etc to prove its genuine. When i picked it up it had been driven through demon tweaks. So every thing is chrome, stainless or stuck on lol

It handled like shit with the random multi fitment alloys but went like stink on the way home, came off the a3 and Konk..... nothing. Stalled and starter wouldn't engage.

The starter had been cooked, so fited a new one with a new battery, massive starting issues and general running issues. Turned out a pipe had fallen off under the inlet manfold and the guy i bought if from couldn't find it so just turned up the fuel!!!!!

The wheels have been replaced with 2wd cosworth, and the bling is gradually being returned to standard.

From the day i bought it, fairly shiny

Bit grimy but not too bad

Wheels and heat shield are no longer fitted, the wheels along with brand new tyres will be up for sale when i have gold membership, gash number plates are also standard now.


Heat wrapping the down pipe to try and save the new starter.

Putting it back together.
Degreasing the engine

Was in a rush, would have come up better if i had brushed it and jet washed it, but just hosed it down.

Going to start a bit of a project thread just had a spare few mins and wanted to ask some questions as well!

Right, i have fitted the new -31, the car is now, with slight adjustment of the bleed valve running (and holding) 10PSI right upto the red line, going strong. However at tick over the car seems to rattle from the exhaust??? could this be caused by the actuator rod not being short enough? ie) the wastgate flap is rattling? thing is i couldn't see how to adjust the rod length with out taking the end part of the rod off? does the entire rod turn with ou damaging any thing in the actuator body? ie, i can adjust rod lenght with out disconnecting the nd part from the turbo?

Cheers all,

Rob,
