Billy killed the turbo the day after he had it tuned as when I bought it it had a mis on boost but I used to just potter around so didn't really bother me but billy had it sorted just for it to kill the turbo
But tbh it was the original from factor never rebuilt turbe t3

Sure they will kev
It's a good car dean looking forward to driving it again, I'm at Central day
Didn't fancy risking it the turbo is well fooked and didn't want it doing any damage it's about a 70 mile trip

Picked the car up Friday afternoon from SCS after having all the new bits fitted for stage 3 as well as a new cambelt, headgasket and oil change and what a shock to drive after 8 months compared to my puma. Soon got used to it and love it all over again it's plenty quick enough for me and glad to be able to use it again
Had my mate come and machine polish it Saturday and the results are amazing as it was very swirled and lots of surface scratches even the boot came up well and it was a mess lol
Anyway pics
Also had a little issue of the fans not kicking in so after doing a few check I'm pretty sure the issue is at the fuse box so will be ordering an updated loom this week but made a temp one on a switch and had to check the fans were the right way round
They were! Lol

Bored on a cold wet January night so thought I'd update this lol, after the last update I havnt done much to the car other than use it and clean it although I'd have liked to have done more of both.
But I have been stocking up on a few bits ready for the weather gets better and I'll get it out the garage and start tinkering I can only work on it outside and I ain't doing it in the rain or cold
One pic of it at a local show

Someone spotted this in the traffic on the way out of ford fair God knows how they spotted it but glad they did
Which resulted in this and me getting the hump as the tyre was like new lol
Once I calmed down I ordered a set of new contisportcontact 3 which sorted that
Took it out on my birthday and ended up popping into burton got some polybushes and some wrinkle paint to redo my cam cover but can't decide still between red or black?
Also managed to squeeze some bits out of my girlfriend for Christmas
Also got a Pillar pod but not sure if I'm going to use it or not yet, also got a nos battery cover to fit
Sorry it's a boring update when the weather gets better I'll get it out and actually do a proper update
Cheers

Sure do Glenn as I've not had it long I have so many plans and don't know where to start although at the minute the plan is to improve handling
