Oh, the joys of sponsorship

Still, the fruits of your labour are hard won so you guys deserve everything that you get

What turbo did you go for Pablo?

gt30 externally gated and all being well should be fitted in the next couple of weeks.

You're first mistake, the car will come back with four turbos and RWD.
(And lots of bits cut out of it:D)

Rob, you know him well:)

What a day this has been or should I say yesterday. Got home from work at 06.20 sat and by 07.00 we were on our way over to gordons.

Got back home just before 12.00 and managed to grab 3hrs sleep in my armchair before having to start to get ready for work. So at 17.15hrs i left to go work...and....bollocks the fronty won't start, not even ignition lights. So had to phone a taxi to get to work. Thinking ahead i pre ordered a taxi for 03.00, did it turn up.....like feck, so i had to ring another company. Half hour standing in the rain for this......night blind..taxi driver, who weaved all over the road on the short journey. Front wheel bearings whining like feck and the o/s/f suspension clonking like mad at the first sign off a pebble in the road. Needless to say that by the time i got home, having spent a weeks petrol money for 2 taxis, my mood was well south.

Due to the fronty being stuck on the drive, Alan when dropping the car off had had to park it on my neighbours drive with thier car behind it. I love my neighbours, well most of them.

Whilst at work and thinking about the fronty and the non starting issue a thought popped into my head........Did i turn the headlights off....For feck sake what a total dick splash. I just spent fecking

Headlights left on......yep I did that at UEA (university) and had to get my dad to come and give me a jumpstart......embarrassing definitely !!

At least the turbo delivery was good. But why is it still in the box ?!!? Get some pics up !!

Cheers Rob:). After reading your reply I had to endure a 15min speel from Alan saying funny you should mention that as he had been wondering, as you do, if a cossie lump could be twinned:banghead:

The plan now is to get this fitted along with the new injectors, reconnect the EGT gauge and give the car an oil change. Alan has planned out a detailed list of whats to be done and is aiming to have it all done in a day and a half thus giving Gordon half a day for the mapping.

We are going into this with a very specific target figure in mind, fingers crossed;). Then we will be focusing on the weight of the car. A good excuse for Alan to get the power tools out:smash:
