little bit more done last night, swapped some bits i needed over from another turbo carb i have and got it bolted on. I found that my other carb had a smaller ( thinner) carb needle what does this mean is it a higher boost needle?.

I really like the look of this.

If you don't mind me asking where did you get the dash from?

nice wheels, what wood are they?

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

its a curly carbon dash and i cut the bottom off i didnt like the look of it! i have a tdk 2 peice miglia dash for sale if you want never used?.
The wheels are compomotive, i think you can only get them from ordering from america they are top money.They are 13x7's not sure on the other detail.

little more done today, got intercooler plumbed in after much tweaking adjusted front end a little and started to play with a bonnet. hopefully i will get a rad ordered this week and get plumbed in.

some pics of engine bay.

Also wanted to ask my front wheels rub on the a panels, what is the best way to modify this?.

Should i cut a section off then tac a flat setion back in to stop risk of tyre scuff?.

Have you modified the front arches to take 13" wheels, you have to trim them back a bit

No, i have not tried yet with the front on but the wheels hit the a panel so that will need trimming.

Do i just trim it back or do i have to trim it then re-weld the flat section back on to stop wheel scuffing??? . The wheel dosnt rub on the inner arch.

got everything mounted in boot today now just need to run fuel lines and wire battery isolator etc.

That's right, reweld the flat bit to the wing. Apparently there are templates available for sportspack arches.

great thats what i thought, i have miglia arches going on so not sure if the templates will be any good???

bit more done, almost ready for first fire up have good oil presure just need to get the fuel presure set right now, am i right in saying it should be four psi whilst engine is at idle? if so what should it be whilst engine is not running?.
