Whos still got what to do before the Nurburgring Trip then??
Following on from ^NUTTER^s thread about him only just getting his engine.....who's got what to do to their cars????
Heres my list.....
Pickup new rear beam assembly inc diff from Milton Keynes & fit,
Pickup adjustable shocks & wheels from Somerset & fit
Fit new big ends & oil pump,
Oil & filter change,
Refit exhaust manifold
Build up turbo with cossie rear exhaust housing & fit
Fabricate 3" downpipe & fit
Refit exhaust
Finish off fitting boost controller
Fit oil cooler
Fit new radiator & slimline fans
Then if parts arrive from Belgium I'll fit my 3BAR MAP sensor, 355 injectors & new chip!!!!
Then if I've time I might do a bit of sleeping & drinking inbetween all this and may even give it a wash & polish if its lucky!!!
Oh yeah & tax the bugger!!! LOL!

I am not technically on the same trip as you guys - not going till April 28.
But......
Engine out of car.
Block done
Head now completely stripped including valve guides.
So not much to do then!
But on the up side, I have rewired a good deal of the car

We're NOT taking my maxo!
Another quadra? Which exactly is your main toy? Have you got another 21?
The Bora would be ok
