Had a little impromptu Snetterton run Sunday. The local police were running a driver skill day where you could try and beat their time around a coned course.

Naturally, the rex won

So the Rex has been off the road for about 3 months due to a blown oil seal on the primary turbo. I took my time and found a good rebuilt set which im going to start fitting tomorrow. Setting a target for the end of March to get it back on the road so I can book some track days.

In the mean time im selling my DC2 Integra daily and I have bought a 6 second sofa to replace it with (im getting old lol!). Its a 2005 e90 330i manual. 260bhp straight 6 engine.

Spent 4 hours cleaning, claying and waxing today. Came out to a mirror finish!

That looks super clean!

But do you have to hang a bmw badge from your nuts?

Fair comments mate..........I betvthe beemer feels total luxury in comparison.

I know when I had a Gs300 lexus it was so refined anything less leels like crap...

Ok here we go again then!

Water pump was making noises so have replaced. Luckily pretty easy and decent access with a v mount setup.

Now the biggie. Turbo pack again!!

Fluids drained, downpipe off and turbo pack stripped ready for removal. Took about 3 hours.

I hope to get the new turbo pack and downpipe on by the end of tomorrow and then that's the hard part out of the way.

Then its plumbing in a greddy profec b 2 to control the now simplified rats nest for the perfect sequential twin turbo setup.
