Evening all, after a couple of days mucking around, i finally got it up and running, although it seems my 32 year old alternator has had it!! not surprising
Anyway after having a "engine sound off" with my dads AC cobra, i got a very bad video, but at least you can hear the power from the fire breathing non turbo 850!!

really? what happened to the toybo? mines completely stock apart from a K&N filter (need to fit in with the chavs round here) if yours is stock we can do 0-60 battles! only instead of seconds we can do minutes. lol.

tryed starting it up on friday and it sounding like a rite dog, checked the timing and it was a mile out....somehow?? anywho got it set right and took it across the field opposite for some much needed driving!
the sump took a couple of hits so i retired quite early!

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

Looks brilliant dan!

Although in my opinion i think a green engine would look better.

well, not much of an update but ive had the engine out again, changed the clutch as it was well.....shagged! new radiator , new valve springs and new water pump.
Decided to paint it BMC green as it makes it quicker, and also decided to switch to the megajolt side. expensive but well worth it i reckon?!?
Fastcarl machined me up a blanking plug for the dizzy hole and i also ordered a facet pump.
Havent got many photos yet, but here's a few of the engine so far (back in the car now)






Like to say a thanks to Carl for the dizzy plug, looks perfect and far to quick to machine it! witchcraft!! lol.

And now back to the red stripe....
