So by the time you've picked up the wheels off whoever might lend you them, then given them back afterwards....the petrol money & time its going to cost you in doing so you might as well go & buy 2 sets of these....

Least then you'll them in the future for when you need to do work on it....which you will as its a cossie!!!

Car has been off road since last October

Knackered my T34 after 6 months of use(35psi peak though )

So had that re-built and was told I was running to much boost,so either turn boost down or get a bigger turbo
Goin for bigger turbo,GT30 hopefully and No before you say it I'm not copying you
Engine has developed a rattle after 20k miles,so got to find that

Then bought a new house last November ,mortgage gone from 34k to 133k,so thats killing me at the minute along with the jobs I've got to do on the house

Then to top it off I stuck a screw driver threw the battery tray last time I did any work on the car,the old tin worm has been at work

Thats cause you've got used to gay jap cars with full boost at half throttle

Was thinking T38,but for the price thought might aswell go for GT

What cams are in yours,IIRC did Mart say BD16's???
