After my 'what turbo' thread Mr The Bird stepped in and has offered advice and effectively provided me with a one stop shop option for the rebirth of my cossie.

He has basically organised everything I need including mapping etc and even an MOT!

My T34 turbo arrived at CR Turbos last tuesday and was turned around and sent out 2 days later on thu. Absolutely fantastic service from Mike to swing it and CR to do the job.

Oh it's now a T38 btw.



Basically I'm only home in April for 3 weeks and 3 weeks in June before I move to Oz. So I cheekily asked if all this could be done ASAP and he and Harvey have bent over backwards(ooooooeeeeeerrrrr ) to accomodate me

Mike has organised the turbo along with injectors and Air Injectors and I've been told to shut up and all is in hand

So if you havent already had the pleasure then have a look here

A special thanks also to my mate Rog(T4 standard gearbox boy ) who is going to fit the turbo today for me before I land on sat

I must admit I feel a little bit like 'Arrive and Drive Manning'


Cheers

excellent service - mike is great. I have bought items off him in the past and they have arrived even before i have sent payment

pmsl @ arrive and drive manning bet you feel like a superstar now

Lambchop

iTrader: (1)

Nope I'm going in dry. I feel like he did when I saw the costs involved

I hope so dude. I loved the 34 but fuck replacing one of those regularly I've gone with the 'safe' option for Oz. Will more hp wreck the way it drives? Who cares

It's Jimbo that's going to feel like a superstar when he blows me off

at the comments!

Mike's good

Will be interesting to see the results, I have a mate who's doing the same with his T34!

Lambchop

iTrader: (1)

Results eh? That would involve a RR day. This will never ever be mentioned unless I get a fantastically high power reading I couldn't be hooped with the interrogation by the Dyno Police

So once the car is all done is it going to Oz with you.

Lambchop

iTrader: (1)

Yeah Glenny B it'll come with me. Not sure when yet though. I don't think I'll take it straight away and I'm horribly tempted to start a resto underneath like Mat did. But where does it all end?!

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

I could give you a hand no probs mate.

iTrader: (21)

There is a very experienced cosworth workshop in Adelaide (based in Holden Hill of all places !) called Quickco if you wanted to get it all assembled over there. The owner has a 3dr himself

So are you staying.Oz forever then?If you are i dont blame you cause this country is fooked.

Lambchop

iTrader: (1)

Haha you said you didn't want it in your garage so I'm afraid it is

That's fucking awesome news! Big time! Do you know him or just of him?

Not sure Glen but I assume it might be hard to return!! I'm keeping my house at home though.



So update time!



Rog has been a legend today, ffirst trailing round Aberdeen to find the correct washers for the banjo fitting. Then going to my house and fitting the turbo. As you'll see it still needs the strut brace and a battery but wow it's close big up Rog

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Looking good...mate

Lambchop

iTrader: (1)

Cheers


Final update for the night is that everything is back on but the battery is twatted.

It's away for a deep charge and or scrapping.

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

he would need a real t38 first

iTrader: (1)

Great service ...

Long gone are the days of you and RW in the RST's with the regular stories :-( used to love those days when 195@the wheels was achieved haha

vroooom ptssssh

Oooh, didn't Vince try and convinve you to go T4 roller bearing?

Lose the big breather tank and get a nice new std header tank in there and it'll look miles better

Underside resto would be sweet, bring it back to working class concours

RS Grant

iTrader: (1)

Might as well do the underside resto... you wouldn't let Morgan roll up and down the Boulie with the underside hinging would you Chop?!


Cheers,

iTrader: (1)

sorry but pmsl


its good to hear theres still people out they that can and will help out now a days

Lambchop

iTrader: (1)

Those were v happy days bud! We've all grown up but I'm still pally with RW. He still likes speed

Davie I dealt with Mike only. I chose against bigger turbo as I wouldve needed more parts blah blah. Fuck it!
I HATE the header tank as it happens! Exactly what I thought tonight!

LOL aye concours is where its at.

PMSL good point!

It's great mate. I've got a strangely weird RS buzz back again. Getting help from friends I made 10-12 years ago!

JamesH

iTrader: (21)

Having good mates is the best part of the RS scene

I see you've removed the sentence from your sig Chop

vroooom ptssssh

Aye, I suppose it's not just a case of throwing the T4 on and off you go! Still a good choice you've made however

Metal header tanks are my pet hate, I burn myself on them too often
Catch tank could be swapped too for a nice round one hidden down by the inlet

RS Buzz is weird, mine comes and goes very often, maybe it'll just go completely when I get mine back out I still can't help but look for things on ebay/buy better bits and keep improving it when I can, it's all part of the fun I guess

I called in to see them years ago in my 3dr, they had a yb on a stand in the workshop and I got chatting with the owner and he told me about his 3dr. They specialise in what the aussies call small fords ie not V8s so mainly all the fast fords we have over here.

This is a good place to get some local aussie info

No problem, makes a pleasant change from messing with my pain in the arse of a saph, and it was either help you out or fit my gearbox it's going away to get done as I'm pig sick of working on that car just now.

T38 is great choice, can't go wrong at all especially with the input of Mike R and vince then who's to question that after a live mapping session. Car was brilliant before, be good to see it turn a wheel after nearly two years as an ornament! I'll have it running tomorrow.

iTrader: (2)

Mines also a brand new CR vince special...
