such a nice car dude well done

so gutted i couldn't get one! if only my mum didn't have a 5 car pile up i'd probs have one.

P.S shouldn't harnesses be fitted to a pole? not floor? heard if there fitted to the floor they can and may cause back injury if you crashed while wearing them

Well after a great start to the morning having atom and Westfield owners coming up to me asking what mods I had done due to the rocco overtaking Them, as kev was a witness to one owner who came over I can't repeat his exact words but it went something like "fxxx me what have you got under there". The afternoon though didn't go so well second lap after lunch and doing 90 round a bend I lost all power immediately followed by massive clouds and I do mean massive clouds of White smoke out the back with a smell of oil, we have put this down to the turbo as the engine is still fine on tickover and just at revs it clouds up again. We will know more next week! Just got bloody brakes fitted back up aswell gutted!

Well that'll be a big turbo then!

New master cylinder?

Well just thought I'd keep you in the loop with a few updates. I don't want to give away what exactly is on the cards as we speak as I like to give surprises! Let's just say that as the turbo has gone and kev has it I have asked him to carry out a few more mods and let's just say I am looking forward to them. I was at first a bit hesitant but after a lot of thinking and the turbo going I have decided sack it go for it. And of course the car couldn't be in better hands with kev just as long as pies keeps away with his chicken nuggets!

any news on why the turbo failed, how many miles has yours done?

looking forward to the plans

Not to sure as yet why or how it failed, it has had a hard life if I'm honest but still thought it would be more than capable of more than 9000 miles. I think you will like the mods pal as I am defo looking forward to them.

Firstly, I love this car, -well I did untill it come into the workshop pukeing all over the nice clean floor,

secondly, open heart surgery begins tomorrow morning I am very keen to find out what is actually up with it. Not that it actually matters, once the v8 is in and the roof is chopped nobody will care about your stinking k03.

Exactly kev have you decided what supercharger is going to be the best one to go for yet? Or would a twin scroll turbo unit be better. Is the tunnel gonna take much to do do you reckon!

geordie56 · « **Reply #56 on:** August 04, 2011, 11:34:33 pm »

Ps nearly forgot it wasn't my car puking all over your floor it was pies after all them bloody nuggets!

Well i suppose its about time for a bit more of an update. The car is not as many of you have known it any more and this is due to a lot of changes on my part i have decided to go down this route once and for all and stop toying with the idea. I do know it looks a mess at the minute but from what i have seen and known of kpms work i know i am in safe hands despite the pringles box! (no doubt pies couldnt find any nuggets)! If you have no doubt seen this steve i am afraid i am out of trax this weekend which i am gutted about but the end result as im sure you will agree be worth it.
