Default My Pride & Joy

Had this since '99 when it was a pretty standard 2 litre "S".
Its now running a cossie engine with T34 which is the 2nd one and has just been built and is awaiting a new exhaust that I need to make and a bigger intercooler and get it mapped, engine builder reckons it'll do 450bhp all day long, I'll be happy with a reliable 350

I got it from gaybay, think I only paid about £20 for it as its a "universal" one, then you just have to make a collar up to suit.

Thanks for the nice comments

I know what you mean mate, hope to see your tina back on the road soon mate
I'll tell Onslow you were asking about him, dont know if you know or not but he bought Icky's newish Bluesprint engine and is now in the middle of x-packing it, should be ready by the summer. The turbo on mine came off Icky's old engine as Pig bought himself a maahhoooosive one.

No mate, it is slightly too long but nothing to worry about. Weve used some tube to space it out so I can get plenty of adjustment, if you need some pics of it let me know.

I'm currently using a standard 2wd one behind the grille, but I'm just in the process of fitting another 2wd one lower down behind the plastic vents in the slam panel so I will have 2 then, rather than spending £400+ on one.
