Bob Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Rob, could I ask a favour while you're out there tonight? Could you by any chance take a few pictures of the vacuum hoses on and around the inlet manifold? I need to check that everything is correct on mine, as I deleted my 'before' photos by mistake!

RobSheffield Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 Bit of an update. Me and Ric spent 5 hours in the freezing cold on Sunday removing the Cat pipe, manifold bolts, oil drains, random piping, turbo stays and other assorted bolts. 30 minutes tonight in the daylight, and voila. Turbos and manifold removed in one piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mk47 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Good luck with it Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Rob have you, or are you going to do a compression test on the engine to make sure all is in good order to take the single kit? I was going to get mine done, but having found bits of turbo in the oil it's a bit pointless now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Gaz, why dont we have a 'still TT register' hehe should be quite empty by now Why don't we have an "I can afford to go single because I still live at home with mummy and daddy" register?

Guest Nicholas Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Why don't we have an "I can afford to go single because I still live at home with mummy and daddy" register? Or a "chip on shoulder" one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I live with my mum and dad because I 'can', I pay good rent and until I decide what I'm doing in my life (if the RAF works out etc) it's more convenient. Plus I only just finished uni and have started work so can't afford to move out yet! I'm sure Rob has the same rationale mate and fair play to him, he's got extra kudos in his sky rocket for it Plus RedM, you're nearly 10 years older than him mate so a) you should be earning a better living and b) you would be classed as a 'sad wanker' as is often the case if you did live with your parents. Good luck Rob. Give me a shout if you need me to come round, take the piss, annoying change things around, lose bolts, get car stuck in gravel (even if on stands) or anything else that generally contributes to the project! Best of luck buddy. Take me for a ride in it when it's all done yeah! Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Plus RedM, you're nearly 10 years older than him mate so a) you should be earning a better living and b) you would be classed as a 'sad wanker' as is often the case if you did live with your parents. Yeah, Martin's comments were a little sharp but that's about the most poisonous thing I think I've ever read on here. It's all about priorities and if I lived at home, the car would be my life too... so fair play to you.. but some of us have other things to spend our pennies on... So 'chip on your shoulder' maybe, but try and keep some semblance of tact please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
