Default My New Toy

Thought id put a few pics of my new motor up for anyone intrested as this is the 1st chance ive had (got it this sat just gone) & as its been such a lovely evening i thought id take her for a quick spin an also get a few snaps...
Theres a few niggly bits i want to get done on her which will be sorted next week with a bit of luck, debbatting if i should try my luck at a few track days as i do have the bug after going round castle comb in lee's 3dr last year but havent 100% decided yet..

It does go well, its currently running an msd stage 1 chip, rebuilt group n turbo , omex rev limiter, an a few other little bits... With two people in the car the back end stays fairly well planted unless your coming off a round about etc on your own its abit more lively as theres alot less weight to help give the rear tyres grip... Will prob look into getting some toyo 888's on there in the nr future to help..

Yes i did thanks m8 , she's now happily running a bailey breather system along side the original set up & thats cured the oil leak problem ...
I think because the original breather tank was sat very low in the car & the fact that the system wasnt plumbed into the rocker cover in quite the wright place caused the excess pressure...
Just bought some decent silkolene pro s 10w-50 oil for it now that i know i wont be mopping it back up off the garage floor lol
