I've found as long as there is money in the bank the mizsus didn't complain about me playing with my car..

The.minute I'm broke its all the cars fault.. :banana: So as long as I don't spen ALL the money on the car, I get away with it .:D

LMAO same boat Dave, always the cars fault and wants a holiday ASAP.

Ahhhhh sigh.

A dude is potentially giving me a deposit tonight for sale of my DE+T motor with install into his car this weekend. That will be such an epic relief and I can get back into finishing this farken motor.

You share bank accounts with your Missus? :whistling: your not meant to give them control ;)

For the last 3 years mine has taken up the entire garage, 2 bedrooms and motorbike was forced into the lounge room. She was happy to see it go back together do she could have the house back.

So who will have their car done first? Ron1 or Ron2?

Havent decided on a turbo yet, no. The deal coming up this weekend puts me in a much better position than I expected, so ill be able to make a comfortable choice, with the all star type products back on the map. Such as GTX series items.

I mostly want to give Stao the business though, so I'm hoping my mind tips in his favour once the money is ready to be put where my mouth is lol.

as for who will finish first, I'm confident that will be Ron1 as his is a daily and I'm just a unlicensed hobbyist. I am committed to getting back out to Wakefield though, so I'm not wasting any time either - just the lack of necessity will govern my priorities as always.

anyone wanna make a turbo suggestion? I'll be in a position to impulse buy next week if necessary lol

If I do it will be coming through Stao. I want to support the guys business and his prices are competitive considering the level of service you get.

In a couple of weeks ill balance my numbers and see if I can still afford to keep my 6boost. Highest likelihood is that ill be running the stock manifold with a bolt on type turbo though, it just free's up so much more money for things that are more necessary.

Plus I also think a ballistic 230kw response monster will turn out better than a 260kw average lag monster lol theres just a higher likelihood of a better result with the lower power bracket. Going for more has a higher risk that it might just be too laggy.

Man, this guy's much worse than Ron..lmao! :woot: My current 206rwkw re-tuned by Jez last week just feels sooo good in the low-mid end (2500-4000rpms) I dunno how much lag I will get with the Precision haha.. 110rwkw @3000rpms is all smiles man - its so much more responsive to the slightest throttle inputs now

Ooo you retuned? Why man? Your PT is so close by.... Why retune to suit your stock turbo when you are gonna put a new turbo on soon anyway?

Maybe Ron2 will beat Ron1 to fruition!

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
