Dan good pic it looks much better now with the wheels spaced



took the turbo off to be rebuilt last week, the compressor wheel had started to scuff the housing on one side, it hadn't got any worse since a first noticed it but i didn't want to chance it!!

thought i'd dig this post up again, didn't do much to the car for a while, apart from fitting some black wheel nuts!!
Bought a Mullit straight cut big tooth gearbox about a month ago, thats sat at work at the moment, will fit it when i get the motorvation
Been getting a bit of mapping done on it this week, it didn't have the idle valve connected so that has been done & set up on the Omex, its also had some a little tickle with some of the running map & may be getting a bit more boost, the power before was 435bhp 393lbs/ft, i'd like to see it over 400 on the torque & 450bhp would be nice

will, it had a standard pump & was losing pressure on idle after 700 miles, i fitted a high pressure pump & it done the big end at about 1200 miles (on the dyno setting up the boost controller) i fitted another standard pump (along with crank, rods etc ) & its been mint since then

including a few 4 wheel drifts

starting doing a bit of bodywork, painted the front panel yesterday, it looks a bit bright at the moment but i'm tempted to paint the whole car soon.........
the bumpers should be done this week, got a few other things to do, might even fit the new gearbox!
