i had a 1.6i ghia ford orion that i fitted a turbo engine too

reg on that was,,,,,, B19BAL as i bought the plate before i bought a car

was such a fun car to, some of the things i done in it was stupid

had a HOOOGE stereo in it and tsw stealths in 16ins as i was told the new 17's didnt fit

ran like a bag of shite too

also had a phase one renault 5 GTT with a leather monaco trim i bought of someone in romford area, was black with delocked doors and that was rapid

got pts to tune it when i went to the 3rd engine and it ran sweet as a nut

then had 6 of us in the car on the way to hammersmith apollo and it felt slow ( yes i know why now ) anyway i turned the bleed valve all the way and then launched it

fuck me did it move,, honestly never been in any car as quick, on boost the turbo actually squeeled like a baby pig ,,, in 3rd gear it gained a miss fire and the road behind me was black,,,,lost power too

blew the i/c apart even though it was strapped, melted the engine and also the turbo had so much play in the bearing the shafts play felt like the gear linkage on a erst

you could say i killed that car

i done 2 i/c's, 2 turbos ( the squeeling on was a hybrid from pts too ) and 4 engines but i NEVER had a issue with the gearbox

every month i would get the car repaired and then brake the fucking thing

i must have nicked 5 grand out the till to repair that car,,,,, thank fuck it wasnt just my money that i spent on the car

I've had my 1.6 Escort for almost a year now, was 17 when I first bought it and insured it!

Ł1400 TPF&T, with Quinn-Direct, give them a try

Mine was a Fiat 126 in White, remember the reg, it was XXJ 112M I think. I remember driving it to college all them years ago. Parking it in one space and finding it on the other side of the car park where some T**TS had actually picked it up by the wheel arches and carried it across the car park
