here a few pics of Jamies (Escorton8's) car

got it back yesterday after a bit of work on the car.

car has yet to be cleaned up as jam is a bufty at heart but i think thes wil give you an idea

 

luv the debadged grills

 

Nice. What's the spec and what was he getting done?

 

Nice

 

looks nice, T4 and 8 greens what sort of power is it putting out Euan?

 

the turbo is a T42 which is bigger.

it has about 100 miles on it so wil need to run it in and get a set up..

it has all the bits you need for over 500 so think that the target!

 

whats it like transmision wise for that sort of power?

 

he has a quaife box but still stnadard diffs

 

I have a spare front and rear sitting. lol

 

dont know the whole spec stoo but its got most things...worked head, cams, big turbo 500 cooler 500 manifold etc etc

runs pectel too

 

Good to see my old car is still alive an looking good

 

dyls how you doing mate i thought i recognised that reg

 

Glad you like it folks and thanks for the comments. Its lookin a bit grubby at the mo but should clean up with a bit elbow grease.

The car was getting rebuilt after melting a piston, its been off the road for close to 2 years now.

Its a new block on standard bore. Currently runnin 8 greens. The turbo is a gt35 compressor with a t4 exhaust housing. Ignore the shady looking intake hose to the turbo. It was just to get me home. Need to get a stainless one made up. The head is just the usual stuff, flowed and polished, standard valves, bd16's althow they aint fitted yet.

Its runnin in time now so 1000 miles or so to do. Its done 46 miles since the build.

 

All rite mate. I bought the car from a garage in steps, is that you by any chance ??

 

cant beleive ur car is back jam! forgot what it looked like!
Top stuff thou son!

 

at least you know it had a careful owner before you Jam


sup dyls?

 

Euan .. you think AVA would make me up an stainless inlet pipe for ma turbo??

 

8 greens and a standard coil

is that good?

 

browsing PF on API time jam? thats what i like to see! LOL

i reckon AVA would be able to sort that out for ya jam

get the car thru there, u know it makes sense

 

To be honest mate iv no idea . No one has ever said its a bad idea to run a standard coil. Any advice appreciated tho

 

Its gotta be done mate, cant beat a bit skivin at work.
I would take it to AVA mate but your bro doesnt think they wil be able to map it as the dont have the software. Spoke to him on the phone earlier and hes headin through on saturday mormin. So think il take mine thro at the same time so they can give it the once over

 

its a bad idea. now go and ring stu to order a coilpack conversion....

 

cheers for that mate, il get on the blower in the mornin
