Have a look at suzuki gsxr fans mate, Very slim, I have 2 in front of my rad in a very similar setup.

Good work by the way

Ideal il have a look, do you have a build thread?

looks nice mate!

Thanks,
I decided to stop messing around and get on with some bodywork, otherwise itl never be ready for riv run.

Rear valance is on and one of the rear quarters is repaired.


Finally decided to put the fan behind the rad so i didnt have to cut the front anymore.

A little update,
The car is all MOTd now and ive done 150 miles with no major issues as of yet.





I decided to paint it black in a bid to tidy it up a bit for the riv run.













Mayzie's metro, thankfully he carried my bonnet for me when my fan fuse blew whilst we were queing for the run.



At college, mate with his 100e wheels :)



Got my superlights on

Is the metro turbo'd? Or does it just have an oil cooler installed?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Yea its a turbo, std oil cooler i believe.

Yeah looks like a std turbo oil cooler.

What threw me was the lack of bodykit, turbo bonnet etc.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

He put his engine in the n/a metro as his turbo requires substantial bodywork, itl be quite a sleeper once the grill is sorted.

looks great

Gave it it's first service this morning the oil was like black water.
I think it may be time to try for some more power, ive fitted my bleed valve just gotta change the spring and needle for 12psi ones



Has anyone had any experience of these?



Things are getting tight god knows how you guys fit it in a round front.

looking very nice

Looks absolutely fantastic, some transformation.

Clubby flip front would be brilliant.

Im using a fixed round nose front and its bloody tight fitting things in.

nice build, engine is nice a neat

Looking nice.

The sticker was a present, eventually i will change to polycarb and my TM sticker.

the smoke only happens at idle when warm and the turbo is no longer producing max boost so im hoping it is the seals.

might of found the problem :(



whoops definately gonna have to make an ultimate steady when i find a new turbo.



Now off to find another "low milage" T2 or maybe a GT series.

Well i rebuilt the T2 and made a new elbow.



Ive gone for a square numer plate and my cooling issues are gone :)



I am now bored of the T2, i would recommend it for daily driving but i fancy a change so i will be going to a T3 next weekend weather permitting.
