Engine pic's, before & after, it is std but has been Lightened & balanced
bottom end, and has high pressure oil pump, engine management is
cosworth L6, with std yellow injectors for now, running on a karl norris chip.

Twins, thanks for the comment, this is the 2nd RS turbo i've done, the
other one was a S1, here is a pic of it, both cars had lots of work
which i did the lot, the S2 had a bit more as i rebuilt the engine.

HI Graham,

Lots of time and effort, you sometimes feel like giving up,
the hardest part for me was the paint side of thing's as i sprayed it in a
gazebo (tent ) and i'm fussy about things, i like a good finish,
in a booth it would be a dodle, the car paint has not been polished or mopped it is straight from the gun , i did have some small parts of dirt
which i may flat and then mop,

Thanks again for the comments. i hope to start using the car in the spring,
no point in driving it through the winter, after all the time & effort put in.
will be paying KARL NORRIS a visit to check the AFR on boost. for his chip.
