Not worked on mine for ages and ages. It just gets driven every so often and then it tries to kill me.
So on that note, I decided to get it booked in at Adrenaline for a suspension set up and I also need to reduce the braking pressure to the rear brakes.
Thats all that has really happened to be honest. Too busy with every body elses cars/vans/trucks etc... (Currently AJC's Escort!!).

some more bits!!
new konis
a set of ahmeds finest 'track' springs
was going to go with a set of avo coilovers but after reading mike rainbirds article in fast ford i opted for these and a set of his rear beam shims. a very simple idea but hopefully effective
proper turbo filter
spacer for extra oil pressure / temp sensors
massive to mike rainbird for always replying quickly to e mails even for advice and very very quick delivery! top service!

Power is about 180 at the moment if that!! It runs standard ignition advance and 14 psi held (yet runs lean above 5k rpm).

The modified TCA and compression struts set up that you have are the same as the ones fitted by turbo technics to the Twin Turbo XR4x4 Minkers.
There are a few Minker owners on http://fordpower.org.uk/forum/index.php?

There is a slight difference between yours and the set up that Dave on Ford Power shows in detail - that being a flat bar that bolts between the ARB mounts but this could be down to TT modifying the set up maybe?
Where did you get yours?
