with my brothers 277bhp 300lb fully forged 5e td04 gt

thanks mate! work in progress , cleanish shell though! thanks mate, me too im so glad! my brothers got a spare hks turbo timer so we will swap as they are the same model , then we can trace the wiring and do it properly as above dude, i live in an area with heavy traffic at the times i normally drive so just for peace of mind, better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it ! ;) thanks buddy! im sure my luck will change soon! sourced some more parts including a greddy emanage blue and mk 1 interior! only needed front and rear seats as i have mk3 in for some reason

okay so ran it up for a good hour , made it nice and hot to make sure it ran okay etc. turns out the temp guage doesnt go above halfway and the fan decided to break... so there was alot of steam and mess. you can guess what happened. i have now wired the fan to a switch and all works fine. got a few things to do before logbook. Turbo timer- only stays on when ignition as been on then off, never works after car has been running. so have no idea whats wrong with it. it only works sometimes after ignition has been on too! but its always lit up and looks functioning no matter what just doesnt wo

im aware but only got 'told' it was a 1991 mk 1 mate and the guy i got it off new f*ck all so mike confirmed tbh i prefer the bumper and rear lights its got to mk1, i know i know i should keep it originial but im the one driving it (well soon i hope lol ) thanks buddy just waiting for the logbook through the post

awesome, cant moan lol

thanks dude!! mike from TD confirmed this is a genuine mk1 glowbadge also so yup worth it mate very rare now! its already worth it and its nearly ready to roll

got the front end all back on last night, and wired up the fogs as the other guy couldnt be bothered to change the plugs from mk 1 connectors to mk 2 connectors. made a light refurb to the bumper as most of its paint was missing and my brother kindly gave me a boost guage that actually WORKS and lights up so happy days. still a bit more to do till its on the road (plus still waiting for logbook)

same till he said, i went in the garden and looked again, it does say hks too! how much are these worth? dude blocks scrap have you seem all the holes?! haha no need to worry about rebuilding any older engine , this engines in and runs fine engines in and running no need to rebuild anything bud ^^ someone else can weld it but im done with the old engines had to much crap with em lool

yup everything i can get to is getting a clean mate, already cleaned under the scuttle and around screen, got rid of any moss etc, such a tidy shell, cnanot belive previous owner would bodge such a car!

this can be closed unless new owner wants to carry it on... wait nah close it considering he f*cked me over (y) lol make sure you guys follow my new build thread if you liked the progress on this car it did me well and never let me down, cant fault it!

i can confirm, new engine with 30k miles and 3 months guarentee is on its way , along with a new anodised breather filter and some other parts

so no point wasting time.. this is what happened today: heres the hole in the exhaust side of the block and heres the hole on the inlet side... safe to say i done a good job lol passenger side didnt wanna come out in the car lol and... the engine is out and ready for the new engine on the left also had bottom end troubles very very good job lol also took the wipers and scuttle off to loosen the wipers as they barely moved across the screen: also found my hks turbo timer which the previous owner couldnt find because it fell down the back of the head unit... and also discover
