your car is in good hands there mate good luck

Spoke to Kenny last night, and asked him to change all the oils inc Rear Diff and Gearbox, not much to report, except they are doing an Engineers Report for the insurance company as its so heavily modified..(Being a 3 Door 4x4) for starters..Hopefully with this report should get Insurance for 600 ish Fully Comp with protected No Claims and full european cover, the only downside is they cap the milage at 7.5k, but w'ell see..

Sounds like a wicked car milmot

I'm sure Stu will take some snaps for you and post them up, some under shots while its up on the ramps would be nice

wilmot

Does he read forum very often..I should imagine hes up to his neck in work.........If it rains any more here in Liege the bloody place will sink.....

wilmot

Well the story so far.. New fuel pump now fitted and Kenny had to rewire it, as the exsisting wiring not up to the job, closed loop fitted, new fuel regulator, the old one had a split diagphram, new vernier pulleys cam belts fitted and set up, new air injectors fitted, coil pack fitted inc Rev counter Mod, full engine service inc oil change, engine, gearbox and front and rear diffs.... New Mongoose Full exhaust system coming early next week, Kenny said the 3in bore Scorpion that I had fitted was too restricted as both center and rear Boxes were 2in bore.. So its coming off .. If any one wants one..So its coming along nicely....And the fast accellerating Bill is not far behind it......

MikeR

You are in the best hands there mate, when you get it back it will be A1 if those guys have had there hands on it,

Enjoy

mike

wilmot

Thanks Mike.. I hope so, with their reputation should be like a rocket when I get it back.. Kenny told me last night I need a Turbo Heat Sheild ASAP.... If anyone can help.... I can pay for it , But it needs to be sent to Kenny. at MSD........ Thanks Wilmot..

MikeR

Ask Kenny or Stu to source the best one they can for it and tag it on to the bill, they will be at the very least honest with you about it all

Pics as requested...

wilmot

Great pics Stu Thanks..............

wilmot

Well.. theirs me going about my Day to Day stuff here in Sunny Belgium, hanging some pictures, if I remember...Then the phone rings.....Its Kenny..I said hows things ...hows my car....He said Hope your sitting down with a strong drink nearby.....Oh Shit I thought..this is not good..Whats up Mate ..I said..'Your Turbos Blown' came the reply.....Silence my end..thinking quickly, shit its never been on the road in anger, since I started the rebuild about a year ago the Turbo was one of the things I bought. Al fitted it wound the motor over with the coil disconnected so to fill the turbo with oil to prime it..(He's been building cars for over 30 years, and he's no Muppet) anyway the car had to move because of going to the paint shop etc etc..So hearing my turbo's knackered, and it coming from TurboTechnics.. the best in the business, or so they would let you believe...well does not sound good at the moment.. Kenny suggested it maybe a build up of oil in the exhaust, as its only been moved arount my driveway for seven years (very sad) and it maybe a large build up of oil in the exhaust, burning off as he blasted off down the road..So we will have to wait til Monday/Tue when the new Mongoose arrives, bolt it on, fire it up and go for a blast to see if its still smokey..ie no oil sitting in the bottom of the new system....and on top of all this Kenny thinks the engine is sitting down one side slightly, maybe the engine mount is shot......Thats to come tomorrow.....But anyway this will delay my collecting the car for another week, but it couldn't be in better hands, Than Kenny and Stu. More to come later Tomorrow, Goodnight from Liege-Belgium....Wilmot

Saw your car on tuesday, looked very nice

wilmot

Thanks boys all very positive noises.....

Nick @ M Developments

This car will be a gem once completed Spent a little time down there and she really is a credit to you(or whoever built it). Im sure kenny will phone with some good news soon enough mate. Nearly time for all the fun

wilmot

Just to set the record straight, my mate Al, built my car. Initially for himself, in two wheel drive.. Then he had a brainwave.... Sold it to me, then he proceeded to put MY car on axle stands, remove the engine box and all the suspension. We ditched that lot, then bought a smashed H reg 4x4 Cossy Saffy) ,, and he spent about five weeks of evenings making it all fit..He's a Welder/Fabricater by trade and his welding is like artwork, the effort that went into slitting the gearbox tunnel for the transfer box, then cutting and welding all the segments back into the car...Very neat..But he's like that with everything he does.. Thats why iv'e got a 20 year old car that looks like that........ Lovely pics Stu, but they dont do the car the justice it deserves...

Hi buddy,

Yes i know the car, or rather allan he's a very good friend of a friend of mine, guy called Tudor i do some stuff with him with his Grp A peugeot 205, rally car, met allan a few times, i was told the other week the car was off to msd, i saw the car last a few months ago looks better in the flesh, should be a nice road car once the work at msd is done and with good mpg(closed loop)

Best regards Dave R.

wilmot

Suprised Ive not met you before, say Hi to Alun from me if you see him in the next week . My First car from Alun was a Red Mk1 RS Turbo.. Mad car, was 150 BHP back in 85. set up by RATs in worcester..(Rolling Road AutoTune),,Sold it to a Dealer in Plymouth and it was used in a ram raid a short whilst later..Anyway off to my Pit now... Cant wait til Mon evening when I should hear from Kenny.......Wilmot

davidreader5

Hi,
Meeting tudor tomorrow as he has just bought a new engine for the pug,
225,bhp approx from peugeot guru simon preston, Ł4500. and that was cheap for the spec?, having a look at the throttle bodies & management etc, i think alun is stopping at blackpool until your car is finished because of the treck up to blackpool. rs turbos i've had a few, and the last one i restored, i put cosworth management on it, only known alun as a friend of tudor's over the past year, met him approx 4, times.

Dave R.

wilmot

Well no news from Kenny or Stu today, I suppose no news is good news....Hope my new Turbo is not knackered...will see what happens tomorrow.. Wilmot

wilmot

Just spoke to Kenny.....and it looks like my Turbo is ok. He's got the new exhaust on, had all the wheel alignment, tracking and balance done, so nearly ready for Mapping...Just spoke to Jamie @ Performance Direct and He and Andy are trying to sort out the Best Insurance for me so things are looking up at last..Should have some more news tomorrow... So it looks like I will be in Blackpool on Fri night, if anyone is up for a beer...............

wilmot

Just spoke to a Guy called Nick in Basingstoke, and he has just given me a L/H Sierra dash......so thats the start of another big project... If its doooable and I can get all the right bits........Thanks Nick.. See you soon

seen this is MSD on the 12th when i was there

COMEDY DAN

At least the car is is good hands.

Keep us posted.

wilmot

Well if you thought it couldnt any worse....Had a call from Kenny to say I had "Fueling" problems.....Then he went on to Tell me that I needed another NEW fuel pump...and a fuel tank ...Because my car has stood so long, not being used and with no fuel in the tank...............(Nicked for my Mower over a period of time) The inside of the tank had rusted, flaked off, jammed my NEW Sooper Dooper Pump and Shagged the bearings.............That leaves the seats, carpets, and half a wiring loom to go and the whole thing will be brand new ..........Happy Days.....

wilmot

Well Kenny called me this afternoon (just before he slopes off for a week on the Lash in the sunshine)...He's ordered a NEW tank from Ford.. 207 Quid... not as bad as i'd expected, and suprised they actually had one in stock, should be delivered to MSD next Wed....So nothing will happen til he comes back, cos Stu is up to his arse in it...and another week wont make any difference in the long term...And thanks to all of your comments and support with my car... But im still after an UNSPLIT r/h dash.... and yes Nick I will still be down to see you....Thanks Wilmot..

wilmot

Well......Kennys back from his Hols safe and sound, the new fuel tank, pump, filter and new sender have been fitted and he's just fitting the Turbo heat shield......So more news later on when he calls me.....

Stu @ M Developments
