Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

Wil - yeah its kind of growing arms and legs since I started. 
minivan63 - Drops are actually very simple now I have the layshaft designed up. As soon as I get the bearings bored into place I'll take the last few measurements for the shaft and get it into machining. Drops will be next on the list after that. :) Edited by matty on 25th Feb, 2012. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

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. On 15th Aug, 2011 robert said:

Well the shell is looking pretty sorry for itself, but im hoping to get some paint on it over the weekend. Ive also started making a mock up diffuser ready for when I get some ally. I hate this stage in a build, feels like I spend hours with the grinder but doesn't feel like any progress, parts scattered everywhere with little room to work!

your be pissed off big time if you crack the case or the diff explodes and takes the box with it........but i'm sure you have that covered, after all the first time is the most difficult. "Cars are a lifetime of pain" |

Pissed off would be an understatement, im trying to make so that all the bike gears and mini gears are unmodified, so if they break it'll be a straight swap out...as the saying goes, nothing ventured nothing gained though! :)

You don't want too much etch, I'd go with 22 of primer filler and then 5.5 months of prep |

Well I manged to get the floor painted despite my compressor running out of puff. Another thing to fix (warning to anyone looking to buy a cheap compressor...Don't!) Nearly everything on it has broken soo far and its only 2 years old.

Dave - It started snowing just after i mixed the paint today. I ended up heating the panel with a heat gun then having the heater sat next to it in between coats. It may bloom a bit, but im not too bothered as its only the underside...I had to keep reminding myself that, every time I went into OCD mode flatting out minor dents.
