Just got off the phone to Alan and he is already over at S.R.M.C. to start getting the engine back together again and in the car. If you're wondering why i'm not there helping it's because i've just finished work and besides Alan doesn't want me there as he says he works better alone....

You working nights can't help (or maybe it does

)

I wish I had your stomach for a fight. I think I would have swapped hobbies by now. Fair play to you mate

I know it's a fair while since I've had a performance turbo, but the front and rear of that turbo look to be a bigger difference in size than I remember seeing.......is it just that the front half is super sized or am I being a turnip chomping, country loving, tractor driving wazzock

Stu. it's still the same turbo i just think that the fact that the back half has gone discoloured it looks smaller than it is.

Tony, the first track outing for the car has not yet been planned. We want to get it through a road test first. We have discussed this at some length and have decided that whenever it is it will have be on a track that we both know well. So that we can focus more on getting use to the car than learning a track.

Aaron. Cheers mate. Is your mate, that's gong to Brands Hatch with the Corsa the guy who did Time Attack?
