Default TELL US YOUR SECRETS

I was just inetrested to know what projects people are working on and what stages you're at, so I'll go 1st:
Changed all the suspension the last few days getting ready for Donno
Done some internal mods to the turbo ,
Fixed the boost leak,
Modded rear arches and fitted the big tyres
got the nitrous all wired up and ready to use ( if it goes bang ohh well )
Gave it a clean and polish for the Derby meet this Sunday as a car mag is attending
Tried the rover derv on cooking oil
Didnt like it
Thats about it for me,

zakspeed mk2 escort is up at the painters waiting for me to take up a door and bootlid for them to get started.. then i've jusr got to assemble it, get used to my training engine on a few sprints/trackdays and wait for my proper one to be built

the saff's coming off the road later this month for a bit of a freshen up/head porting/ compression lowering and up the power slightly... then just need the bodywork tidying up a little bit.

Sorry, that information is classified on a "Need to Know" basis . Plus if I told you, it wouldn't be a secret now would it?
