Glad it's all sorted mate.

We always leave brand new lifters upside down filled with oil for 24hours. They never tap from new then.

Enjoy the new power.

 

Well done mate, the T38 is crazy fast once on boost isnt it delivery is a bit different but look at the speedo and you soon realise how mental it actually is

 

well done chris, good dedication, and fair play for not chucking the towel in.

i want another 3dr

 

me too

 

glad you got it all sorted fella!

what power is it pushing at 30psi?

 

glad you got sorted mate!

 

nice to hear its all sorted

 

nice car!!

 

The lag is a lot different to the old turbo but christ it comes in with one hell of a kick

Ryan can you pm information regarding wiring the rev counter in mate as i don't think it was on the instructions

Not got a print out Jim but it was said to be around 400 - hopefully should get a power figure at some time over the summer.

 

glad its all sorted mate what spec was it running before you went on the greys

 

T34 .48 - 803 - l1

 

glad it's all sorted mate, i'm thinking about a t38, they good then?

 

This one seems fine mate with good power but i think once i have a stronger build i'd look into Siemens and a GT30

 

keep me in mind if you want rid mate

car's looking lovely mate,

 

chris give me a call about the rev counter wiring when you get 2 mins. easier to expliain

 

me three

 

Nice one mate!

 

No probs mate, a bit late to ring now so i'll wait until morning

 

Update time - Bodyshop again

The upper spoiler paint cracked around the cap holes after it was painted at the end of summer 08 so finally got around to sorting that, the front bumper is having the scratch the AA caused around the tow eye and the arches are all being rolled
back to allow the car to run low with out rubbing on the back under load.

Pictures and progress to follow tomorrow.

 

nice one mate,

 

If you roll the arches do you also have to cut a bit away from the skirts or are you leaving the skirts in tact?

 

 

I have a proper rolling tool which looks like a scissor jack, we'll be heating up the arch until it's too hot to touch then rolling the metal - due to the mounting points on the arches being removed only half of the screws can be used so it will have to moulded on as half the plastic width is being cut away.

 

chris, wire went today, sorry it didnt go yesterday, just bloody non stop here.

 

Cheers Ryan, wasn't a rush mate i know your a busy man

 

My car has rolled archers too, it had those wide BBS split rims on before and the previous owner has cut away almost all the plastic of the skirts. It's only bolted at the rear bumber and in front of the wheels. He used some glue I guess to fit the must upper part of the skirt to the panel (above the wheel). Also the rolling hasn't been done that well on my car unfortunatly. Got some rust in some places where it has been rolled.

Looking forward to some pics if you have rolled them

 

Right after smacking one of the wheels on the way to Croft i have decided to take the split's off for now get them repaired and in the mean time will be fitting a set of old style silver RL7's i've just picked up - my mate is dropping them off tomorrow night so will get pictures up when they are fitted.

Heres the latest damage - seems to be every time i use the car i get another damaged part

 

gutted for you chris fella, is it gonna be an expensive repair?

look forward to the pics on the rl7's

 

very nice 3 door mate,as everyone else has said...... needs the stripes back on it!!

 

Thats shit mate one of my wheels has a small mark on it as well plus when i got it back from paint they washed the car & the soap has marked the rims they are a bit white i would change my wheels for a mint set of white RL7's any day

 

hope your gonna complain to local authorities!! we pay far too much to use these shitty roads. Classy looking cos really tasteful

 

Comp have quoted Ł158.13 for an outer lip but they only have anodised

What strips mate

I know what you mean Carlo i have to polish these all the time - if you want a set of RL7's drop us a pm mate - i would prefer a set of 18" mo 6 spokes

Been onto the company who deal with them and have just filled out the damage questionaire so we'll see - well they have 3 choices. pay up off my claim - Solicitors will deal with it - insurance deal with it

 

shit luck mate my rims were anodised outers and were not much duller than having polished. No hassle cleaning them all the time then.

I know what you mean about damaging the car everytime it goes out mines been like that recently and i have only driven it about 4 times since i have had it

 

shit news about the wheel!

 

gutted for you mate..hope u get the wheel sorted

 

not having much luck are you chris

 

Your damn right Ryan, i still haven't got around to swapping the wires over but will do over the weekend.

 

roads are a joke a pal has claimed 11 wheels now something needs to be done your wheels arent cheap!

 

i know how it is mate, i never got round to doing mine on my 3dr, afterfitting coilpack was too busy enjoying it, and to be honest i didnt really need the rev counter, you can tell how high up the rev range it is by the way its screams
