martin yor nuts that is one hell of a turbo to run on a ax. Like the idea about the rad in the boot you must have no room at all up front since the ax is what 2 " shorter than a saxo.
Always thought mine was a tight fit..

even painted the bearing. you must be keen mate
seen the 1.4 motor on RR should be still worth a giggle once its all built up now.
How good are you lot at fabricating seat rails> as i need some asap and for once have a car thats actually on the road that needs em fitting

for the 1st time in 2 years ive started putting bits back on to the car
the front suspension is all back on and working with all new bearing and bushes
and the BE hubs are all sorted and brakes back on
there is a little bit of welding needed in the floor wells but its is 17 years old
and something came up very cheap so i wont have to use the 1.4 as a temp engine untill the turbo one is built, should be a laugh with 100bhp nitrous
I DO HAVE TO SAY IM NOT GAY BUT I HAVE GONE 16V (for now it is only temp)
