If I ever have another Cossie for the road it will be T34 and greys/55's, and an inlet cam. Still quick but nice and useable in all conditions.

The turbo on it is std, so would defo upgrade when the time comes.
This was the old turbo after racing a Bentley Cont, shut off at 160 & snapped the shaft clean. That std turbo is doing well....

If the car is as good as you say it is, then leave as it is and enjoy the reliablity you have, if you need to spend some cash then invest in a 6 degree beam and maybe a suprs diff conversion.

for years iv said im having a cossie and when it came to the crunch i bottled as i always thought it would be trouble but eventually gave my self a shake and went for it... just goes to show a proper well built cossie is reliable and does take a fair amount off shit, gotta be said there has been alot of money and time spent on this with all proper bits fitted aswell.
always thought it would be off the road for all the wrong reasons not just cause of the bad weather...
how wrong was i, take my hat off to paul and the guys who built it
i wasnt sure if you were able to fit a supra diff to a 6 degree beam but... would be good to see the difference in handling i suppose!

i went from a T34.55 & greens to a CR/SCS T38 & 72lb blacks and a live map @ NMS!
my engine is pretty much totally bogo standard, karl reckons its in the region of 400-420!
can honestly say im very pleased with my decision to upgrade, barely notice the lag difference either

yeah the cr t38 is a t34 on roids
, main reason why i went for it!
its spot on for a fast road car, other than tidying my spec up (i'll be honest its its a bit pikey and thrown together) i wont be changing the turbo again
karl was worried it was going to be a bit shit and lazy, but even he was pleasantly surprised how well it went

Stick, I'd personally rather change whilst it's in one piece tbh, Turbo going can cause other damage too, plus he could sell the T34 on
