Off the Road for winter?:homme:

Noticed you sold your Super-Charger, still sticking with the boost idea?
Or a change in plans?

All will be revealed in due course ;)

car looks lke its gooing well mate love the cage :y:

I see how it is :wink:

Okay big-ish update, been doing a bit of spending for the old girl :oops:

Purchases include this, amongst a few other things :p



Got a few more bits to buy before i can think about fitting it all, but cost-wise i'd say i'm 2/3 of the way there :wink:

More updates later.

I'm know what your doing:P but won't say anything as i'll leave that to you;)

Why the swap from SC to Turbo?

very nice car mate, loving the garret aswell :), how much is your insurnace ? your 18 right?

That a gt17 or 25?

shhh ;)

Was talking to a guy on here about s/c amd he was saying how smooth the power is and another guy down at ace cafe with a turbo 106, and he was saying how much fun his car was etc, and it made me think, the car is going to be purely for my enjoyment and i think turbocharging has the bigger smile factor.

At the mo its £900 with flux, all mods declared, and i'm 21, hence the 89 ;)

It's a 25 mate :y:

ah cool, you planning an engine rebuild? or run with compression plate etc?

got a dp compression plate too mate, just really doing the minimum atm to get it up and running, but still safely. Things like pistons/rods will be something for the future when/if i go for more power :p

Boost!!! :):):):)

Ahhhh boost :D

boooooooooost :hug:

More updates please:P i want to see this car running boost very soon as i know it's going to be on road with boost soon;)

haha shhh ;) car went into atspeed yesterday, all going to plan it should be back in 2 weeks with some new shiny bits :P

interesting:P;) get some nice pictures up of the shiny bits in bay etc please:D

Jealous much? :homme:

not really bud as mines going to be better:P;) just interested in the progress more than anything;)

haha i'll admit i haven't gone all out on spending but i think it'll be more than enough to keep me happy for a while ;)

nice progress m8, glad you have carried on with this,
i can tell you tho, ur old charger sounds beasty. ha ha.
do u have urs back yet, any pics?????

haha you'll have to take me for a spin and show me what i'm missing out on ;)
been watching your progress since i met you, good to see it's all come together now :y:

Spoke to colin today, he said he's gonna try and sort out a few pictures, i belive he's waiting for silicon hoses and boost pipes, then there's wiring to do and then after that should hopefully be good to start her up :p

sweet m8, will be happy to take u for a spin. altho i think urs will be pretty awsome on its own.
cheers for ur help with the bracket,(well pic of ur bay anyway lol)

Just been sent a few pics by Colin! Cannot wait to have the car back, hopefully the weather stays like it is now for when i do get it back!

looking good :y:

very nice build what kind of power you expect from the build

it is looking good. Would probably beat my Fiesta now! Kudos!

progress looks good m8, should move pretty well when its finished.
what you doing gearbox wise?????

looks fun mate engine bay could do with a clean though ;)

cheers mate :y:

Would be happy with anything over 200 atw. I want it to be fun for now, but with a scope for more power in the future if i feel like i need it :)

Who are you lol? What fiesta??

Unfortunately funds are stretched to the limit so for now i'm on a standard vts box with a backup vtr box for when it explodes. BE conversion is next thing on my list but it will have to wait til i get back from holiday at the start of august as money will be very tight until then. Gonna see what sort of boost colin reckons will be safe to drive about on until i can get that sorted :y:

Haha cheers, don't worry thats first thing i'll be doing once she's home :)

glad you are pleased dan, as i say, presently just waiting for all the silicone hoses to turn up, then we can get cracking with it, and get her running :) then we can make a plan for exhaust system.

- colin.

what boost you going for 1bar?

Colin's done some nice work on your car dan;) looks tidy:) can't wait to see the finished article:y: i'd run super safe power on your car as MA box ain't going to last long otherwise chocolate gearbox's MA's are:P

boost will be controlled via gizzmo with selectable boost memories. but up to 1bar will be available. the GT25R combined with stock cams etc makes for a nice fast road car.

this is our stage 1 component package... which is very upgradeable with add on parts, e.g. not much has to be done to get onto stage 2, where much more power is available, i believe this is dans plan for next year.

- colin.

MA boxes are fine even with more power (just not silly power). Its people who cant drive for shit that kill the boxes.

I agree Ryan, it's the torque and when the tyres grip with serious power that strips the teeth on the MA box's, i have not killed an MA box while driving my cars suppose it's how you drive tbh:P

Which gizzmo has Dan gone for Colin? should be fairly fast car for dan to handle:P better get my stage 2 turbo'd build with you on the go as soon as i can Colin;) what engine mounts has dan got on his car Colin?

gizzmo ms-ibc
those are the spoox motorsport engine mounts (i use same on my car and deans car), both upper, and lower in fast road spec. the full race ones are 20% stiffer.

- colin.

looking good dan and atspeed.
is this using standard internals?

when is this due to be back together and run up on the rollers?
