So over the last 8 months or so I have been collecting engine upgrades and waiting for the nod off Markey mark to fit it all well today is the day all this is going to mark to get fitted over the weekend

Hybrid turbo













Oil cooler with thermostat







Also got a piper 270 cam going in with this lot so with mark working his magic hopefully be getting a rapid little car back by next week

Little update Mark still has the 5 as my liners were shot so I thought I would get some new liners and piston set also a bottom end gasket set, valve stem seals and a rev limiter.

Been a while since i have updated got my car back a few weeks back engine all done also got Mark to change my gear box oil i will start from a few months ago when i saw my car when dropping some parts to Mark some bottom end bearings Refurbed mani as my studs on my old one had seen better days. This is the update from Mark Head is complete with new valve guides fitted, valves checked and lapped in, all new gaskets and new manifold fitted bottom end to do next.

As i said earlier car back a few weeks ago after engine rebuild and new turbo, cams etc fitted. I first done about 90 miles then changed the oil and filter plus I fitted a gold plug the magnet is super strong.

I then took the car for a nice drive before it went away for the winter months
Few pictures drive down to Brighton from luton then back up to my parents house in London where the 5 has a nice double garage to its self









Next was to give the car a deep clean so on Boxing Day I went all out and spent about 5 hrs on it

Months of dirt and grime













First i cleaned engine bay













next took off grill and washed cleaned wheels in the alley then clay bar the whole car









the goods





next resin polish and clean windows inside and out





then a final gloss wax and treat all my rubbers window sills etc

---

got some damp bags for the 5 to







Car lock on and away for the winter.
I have done 300 miles since the engine rebuild, going to change the oil and filter again at 500 miles next year when back on road then at about 800 miles I'm going to take it back to Mark to fully build my carb and up the boost
