it didnt stu because when i asked vince to do the turbo for ron Ron couldnt afford a .63 so the housing on the unit was machined out as far as it would go !! Vince agreed sponsorship as in doing what he could with the original unit but thats as far as it went
Ron do you want mw to chat to Vince see what i can sqeeze out of him extra ?

got the turbo off today to fit the bigger exhaust housing, why it's off i will sort the water pipe that runs along side the head out, plus i will make some ducting for the alternator to keep it cool
got this for the bumper, the plans are to cut all of the side bits off so it is a standard looking bumper but with this extension on it will be lower and deeper, bare with me, i think it will look ok
will be nice and low
will give it to twins to sort out

Excellent. The last thing I wante was for it to get damaged.
Well I've had the idea for ages but somebody beat me to it I wanted carbon but this should work out a lot cheaper.
And do you have pig tails and sing in the fields?

Started to strip the car down now ready for this season
Took the passenger door of for Phil at carbon delight to repair as the hinge was knackered and the door would drop an inch when opened.
Also removed the front half of the cage and seats ready for the cage. Will remove the dash Sunday as the cage will now go through the dash and will be tied in through a pillars etc
Bought some new carbon goodies at Autosport show
Had a little mock up on the passenger side
Also re fitted the turbo after cr machined the new housing
The old waste gate was seized open. Was open by about 2mm
Also worked has started on the bumper. Dave sent me this picture today
Can't wait to see it finished
