Back on boost now, the external wastegate has been the best part I’ve bought for it! Used to hit fuel cut regularly but not now.
Nothing been done since finishing the engine apart from a few oil changes and trying to keep clean. Had our second child since and undergoing a house move which is dragging on but, nearly there and will have a garage to tuck the starlet away for some general restoration. Need to have the back axle out to replace bushes, maybe source anti roll bar. Rocker cover leaks oil from the retaining nuts which is baffling but I have a spare which I intend to polish and fit with more new seals.
Did go for a blast with a mates 290bhp A5 Quattro and was astounded to keep up no problem 😯. Still loving The starlet and I think I always will. I’ll update when I get chance to work on it again 👍🏻
