Sorry dude but I also remember that thread, I can dig it out if its still on the system if required. You were at the time made fully aware that the vehicle was less than brilliant (OK it was MOT-able) and were advised to not drive the car, period, until it was finished with. From what I remember of that thread you threw a hissy fit, took the car anyways and quite rightly they then refused to take your car back for further work. The car is now in fastidious hands for sure and I will say one of the most diplomatic persons on this forum. Maybe Michel will win through where others have failed with his inestimable patience and charm??

 

Can we please move on??? Old story and getting boring now.[ANGRY][/ANGRY]

Your car is in good hands with Michel mate. Will someone please post up a spec on what turbo etc are being fitted to this? Ta.

 

I think it's all listed in one of his other "look at me, look at me" threads.

 

Edit: Here you go...

We have gone for a boostlogic / hks copy unit. i was debating on a cast unit for him , but as yet i havent managed to find a decent one . The ones from the US that have a 38mm 2 bolt wastegate flange , what a nightmare, the holes dont line up, you you have to make them bigger, thats now in the bin

i know its slightly off topic but me and dandan have just done a "group buy" :D on a couple of treadstone manifolds, dans gone for the 2 bolt i've gone for the 4 bolt, dont know how it all lines up but the wastegate flange does not look a problem any more and can be "whittled" to whatever size you like

the horrible stuff, clips , diff coolers, dp/mp / fuel line runs /interior guages .

 

We pulled the wiring from the passanger footwell , what a mess !!! pictures to come later. now you know why its a pain .

 

I was going to suggest it would be, given that the whole shell was a transplant, the horrors of the engine loom would also exist inside.

 

good luck

Matt,

 

Good to see it coming together and I wish you all the best with the supe. Michel and Ian are great guys to entrust your car to and I am sure they will do a good job. They sorted out a few issues with mine a while back and I was very pleased with the workmanship, communication and commitment.

 

Look forward to seeing it done.

What injectors are they Michel, i may be in the market for some slim line ones as my Rochester ones are a bit fat for a little project i have, nice to see some good FME (foreign material exclusion) on the intake and turbo, we just had a turbine off at work for 9 days, loosing £1m a day in lost electricity generation due to FME in the turbine oil feed system :blink:
