  1. Its the 90 degree one, it comes out the bottom of the turbo and straight into the front of your sump, what website did you get it from?
  2. Since going TD04 i have been having a nightmare with the oil return feed to the sump from the bottom of the turbo. I have changed the pipe to a 19mm to 16mm reducer and even put jubilee clips on it, but oil is still squeezing past the top of the pipe coming down and out of the turbo, it only does it when turbo is spooling, seems the oil pressure is blowing it out past the silicone reducer. Its driving me mad as i cant see what else i can do to fix it, the 16mm pipe isnt a very tight fit and i was thinking maybe thats why, but i cant seem to get a 19mm to 15mm reducer, i can only find 19mm to
  3. ooo a spin in my hometown Well up for this ;)
  4. Room for one more, talking about leaving it til the last minute, shit now i got to get me self some track time!
  5. Ok just mailed him with the 2nd one, which way around shall i put it, boot to bonnet or, bonnet to boot?
  6. Unfortunatly the dimensions on the 1st one and the shape of the roof mean it looks squashed and weird if you do that, i tried that first Either way it happens it will be funny as hell to watch while im going around track ha ha!
  7. I had originally gone for the 1st one, but like you said it would need to be side on which might a bit shit, plus its not as funny I think i will get him to change it
  8. As most of you already know im getting my roof wrapped in Mr P.Bear this week, because of a mistake at the printers its given me the opportunity to possibly change the picture i am going to use. I have narrowed it down to these two and also Cant make my mind up!, but the first one would be a complete roof cover from edge to edge but due to the horizontal size, it needs to go side on. The other one wouldnt, but then it wouldnt cover the entire roof. Which one do you think i should go for, bearing in mind how it goes on the roof etc as it will be massive
  9. Was this engine put together badly then and is why its gone pop?
  10. You cant run higher boost on the standard manifold without taking out the restriction on it, you will damage a piston if you do, either cut it out or buy an aftermarket mani. Also if you run higher boost you need to have the correctly fueling mods, or again you will hit fuel cut and damage the engine Basically dont fuck around with it unless you have put the mods on especially the actuator!
  11. Nothing wrong with allowing it to recirculate back through the turbo, you will get the chatter sounds and it goes back through the turbo veins. I have been running this setup for nearly 2 years with no problems and also on numerous other turbo cars before that. Its down to preference i guess, chatter or dump sound, I prefer the chatter If its not coming out of your dump valve its most likely jammed, take it apart and check the spring isnt stuck
  12. Sounds like headgasket, have a look under your oil filler cap, is there any creamish residue underneath it?
  13. Can someone vectorise this image for me of pedobear, i need it huge as its going to be a massive print on my roof http://files.sharenator.com/pedobear_drool...2-56449-580.jpg if you can find a better quality pic of this image, (pedo bear drooling, do that instead) Thanks Craig
  14. Jesus these things go for mental money!
  15. Congrats, i bet they pay better too
  16. Update, pics added: Car had the Geometry setup today with Avia Autos in Bridgend, been there a few times now and hes great and knows everything there is to know about race setups. Car now feels and handles 10x better
  17. P.Bear wont be long i promise, mates been on bloody holiday! As for the brakes yes thats what i used last year, its about as good as your gonna get it for the stock brake system with the mods below, but it still wasnt ideal. I was getting terrible brake fade after about 10 mins on track and the brake pedal was getting very soft (boiled the brake fluid), but i was driving like a loon braking late as hell etc. If your not gonna hammer it around track i think below would be the best cheapest option, after that it gets fairly expensive. I am going to have to upgrade the whole braking system to
  18. I would like to know how to do this too
  19. I live on top of a hill over looking the valley so the view is cracking, unfortuantly though its Morriston, Swansea not Spain lol and i just had the decking done this week, so definetly some beers to be had on there I bought the marquee for the decking too as well as the car, thought it would be good for when the boys are around playing poker! Tell me about it for P.Bear i went down there today to see if the guy was back, hes gone to dubai for 3 days i wish he would hurry up!
  20. I got it from Argos, although it wasnt particularly cheap £134, but its really good quality. I put up an asda cheap marquee which was about £20 and literally it lasted 5 minutes, wind got hold of it and snapped it in half!! This thing is really good, the click in bars are really thick and it all locks together nicely to make a rigid structure, its not flimsey at all once its up. It could literally blow away (which is could as its llike a kite!) and you could just go pick it up Here is the link for people interested, its good for parties all sorts http://www.argos.co.uk/stat
  21. Pics added, bought a new Alloy radiator ohh and a marquee for events!
