just finding my feet
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

The lowest Renault 5 ever when I was 17.
Passed my test and got a Cavalier Sri 8v and made it a Turbo rep. Drove it like an absolute cunt for 18 month/45k miles and it was

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
