Well as i was back at my parents house gettin the toad fitted to the turbo i figured it would be rude not to take it for a warm up spin!

Verdict - :P :twisted: love it, total animal compared to the valver, and dump valves are seriously addictive things! :lol:

Sorted gearbox, well diagnosed anyway, the linkage needs adjusting its fouling on the lift reverse stop under the car before allowing first/second to be selected easily.

anyway heres a few snaps of my first real drive, cant wait to go out again now!!

2 of europes most wanted! :P

good shit, looks relatively high ride is it on coils?

Coops

yeah FK's, were set up when they were fitted but seem a bit higher than normal, prefer it tho tbh, i can go over normal roads in it without destroying my back or the chassis! :lol:

mite notch the back down 1-2 splines tho, to account for the stripping loss of weight! :P

is this a bb tunning conversion? how reliable is this conversion just out of interest?

Coops
25-03-2007, 16:05
ai tis the BB one, its done 10k since the conversion and has got more powerful looking at the graphs! 8)

seems to eat gearboxes tho! :lol:

Coops
25-03-2007, 16:06
oh ah forgot to mention, in that 10k all the engine has had is general service items, plugs/oil/filters etc and a new actuator, thats it

bill.
25-03-2007, 16:08
hope it lasts well, shame about the boxes, but then they seem to go anyway, wonder how long it will be till your bored of the power and start tweaking :twisted:
