Still not taken the car to the bodyshop. Today I welded in one of the rear turrets so I can have dampers in the back. Will do the other side next weekend

Looking good.

Looking good. What do you need to do to the rear arms to fit shocks? Also where did you get the turrets from and muchas costos? There was a batch made up a year or two ago, copy of roversport ones. There is a bracket to bolt to the hub bolts on the radius arms. They cost £100 |

Where did you source them can you get more? What shocks do you use with them? If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Not touched the car is a very long time. I will be spraying the car myself now instead of taking it to a bodyshop.

Mounted the GT20 to the manifold today. Will need to make a bulk head box for the metro because the turbo sits up higher and re-locate the brake lines.

Great car. I had a normally asphirated one of these which I drove for a few weeks before robbing its engine. My outstanding memory was the terrific ride quality from the hydrogas suspension. I could hardly feel speed humps. |

We had more trouble getting it passed the bulkhead. Right PITA to take the turbo off with the engine fitted... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Are you running an external wastegate? |

No he isnt, its just a seperate pipe from the wastegate either to be used a screamer pipe or plubed back into the downpipe, external wastegates come before the turbo not after Drives
