The car will be going in soon for its work to be done. I've been thinking about this look for a long time....what do you think?



^^ Exactly like that (same wheels too, maybe Mo's or khans) but with the headlight washers smoothed and fuel cap in the door slam.

And for the rear:



Slightly messed with in PS, so they look a bit shit, but you get the idea

Now for the engine



Sorry there's only one like, i'll get a few more when the cossy manifold gets back

 

Spence,

does it matter what it looks like?

It only matters how it goes dude!!!


Alex

 

So why did you buy a glittery purple mini Alex

I think hatchbacks need a tailgate wiper, the crap that builds up on there when its wet would make it dangerous not to have one.

 

Thought you were after suggestions on your engine, not wether or not you have headlamp washers, who fooking cares?

Done that manifold yet mate?

any pics of it?

 

Well its got 170 bhp and weights about 650kgs...

Oh and the birds LOVE IT!


hehehheheheh

Have you not seen my black mini turbo? The racing shed?!?! lol

Alex

 

Nice oak work bench

 

Hang on a sec, WTF is going on there, its got a fucking turbo?

Thought it was going to be supercharged?

Thanks for keeping me informed you coont

 

LOL @ tony

Its probably worth more than his car

 

Can you see his Sig Chip???

NOW GOING TO BE TURBOCHARGED

 

Ah i see, hadnt spotted that one

Does that mean you dont need the inlet anymore Spence, cause if so i wouldnt mind it back if thats ok mate?

 

rofl Yeah, turboing it now

I been looking for an inlet manifold for you for ages to replace the one you gave me! Gimmie a couple of weeks and i'll have my settlement, i'll get you your replacement

I'll be picking the manifold up tuesday next week, so you can see what it looks like. Its been to the machine shop 4 times

1) To be mated to XE flange
2) To have brake vacuum hose tapped into the centre thread
3) To have the fuel rail cut to size
4) Still there now having fuel rail put back together and brackets added for it

All that is left now for the engine is:

1) 86.5mm stock let pistons & rings
2) ARP head studs
3) ARP rod bolts
4) gudegeon pins + circlips
5) Cometic gasket
6) Big end bearings
7) oil pump gasket
8) 8v baffle plate off an NE
9) LET ECU + loom

Oh and the workbench is worth more than the car. At Ł9500 its not cheap

 

Really do like astra GSI's, but IMO the weels really dont suit it

a set of Team dynamics 1.2's would look on it IMO

Got any pics?
