Nope. Thats why I'm chucking it on a trailor and doing a 330 mile round trip to Essex and back, dropping the car off at Oddkidd creations on the way.. . . . . . then making the trip back at some point to pick it back up

Mines taxed and tested all year too, don't use it much over the winter!

Plan to get loads of use this year though as i missed all but a handful of the shows last year, due to a CUNT of a painter....

1) Fit tensioner.
2) Time up engine.
3) MOT it
4) Insure it
5) Tax it
6) Get it mapped
7) Fit roll cage


Doesn't seem a lot - but I'm skintos, and I can't do any of the stuff on the list. Everything else I have done.

I need to:

go and get the car first

then

oil and filter
cambelt
fit new gas struts on tailgate
fit rear disc conversion
get new rims painted / tyres fitted ( Beefy - I'll get there )
refit boot panels
coolant change
get some road tax
and whatever else comes up including stuff I can't remember now......

So NO - the car isn't anywhere near ready for summer

Taxing it at the end of the month. It runs but the turbo is fucked really, smokes like a trooper.

Options are:

1) another t34.63 and keep it as it is
2) t4 running only about 20psi and save for new bottom end to run 500bhp, then up the boost
3) internally gated gt30 and run it like cossierich, who's saff looks fuckin rapid on that video
4) externally gated gt30 and pipework, running no boost and save for rest of engine build a la t4 option.

dunno what to do really.
