Guessing you're on about bassets pole a38, hams etc? Jamie

I though you had a boost problem? (title) Jamie

Loooks sweeet man! Jamie

Right, been to the engineers today. My crank has gone too far, so it's a new crank needed!! Also, had a nice parcel come through the post today: Thanks 00joeindastarb0 arrived sooner than expected! Sending the block in tomorrow to be rebored and honed! Jamie

I think the livesport on it own would give it a much better finish, Jamie

I've got a catch can that was already on it when I bought her, however I think that could e blocked up causing the problem. Just got back from the engineers and my cranks gone to far. Soo, crank needed Jamie

Cheers for that, just on my way to the engineers now. I've only had the car a couple of months so I'm not sure of how th engine was treated before I had it. Forgeing the engine as we speak so a fresh start should do it good. It wouldn't be down to a breathing fault you dont think? (the sludge) Jamie

Quick update; we've just finished stripping the engine. As we already knew, it had spun a shell on No.2, sending the crank in today and hopefully it can be ground! Luckily it hasnt caused any damage else where. Q) What is the most you guys would have the crank re-ground to? Q) Where to get ACL bearings from? Also, upon stripping the engine we found that there was alot of sludge in the head. Would this be down to a breathing fault? Something I want to cure before I run a newly forged engine! Cheers, Jamie

Might be wrong, but are the gear ratios different on the ep82 box? Jamie

Ill have to see how it goes, don't really want to take any short cuts with the build just for the sake of a day on the track! Maybe though Jamie

Yeah man! I'll drop you a PM when I'm back on the road. Little update; Bought some Wiseco Pistons and Pauter Rods. So have no choice now but to go forged!! Jamie

Very true, I wish I waited a couple of months before getting mine. Such good spec ones going silly cheap! J

Love your Nardi Lew! Quite a fan of the OMP ones too, any one tried the copies from ebay? Jamie

Cheers man.. Yeahh it's good, but he only does power runs. So cant have it set up on there Jamie

Please tell me we get to see this at Japfest 2?? J

Tell me about it, I couldn't wait for the track time at Donnington either, its only a mile down the road! Ah well, the joys of cars ay! Jamie

18k on a clio, just think about it! You know it makes sense to spend 1/5 of that money on a Glanza/GT. And not only that, the sky is the limit with these.. Jamie

Loveee them wheels! Will look awesome on your car!! Jamie

If any one is after some tracktime for Japfest 2, I have the sessions booked that I am selling. (Spun a shell so she's off the road) Can do a deal on all 3. PM me, cheers. Jamie

Cheers mate, Yeah me too! Dont think I'll be making the track at Japfest 2 now though :/ Jamie Yeah, we're going to strip her and see what they say, Cheers. Jamie

Heyy all, been on here for a few months now and thought I'd make my own build thread after seeing some awesome ones on here! After owning several different cars over the past 18 months (Dirty diesel Pug, Classic Mini 1275, Land Rover Defender 90 to name a few) I had a go in my mates GT Turbo (BAZ2CRAZY)! Wow booost, I loved it, so the hunt began for a GT Turbo, which ended up being a hunt for a GlanzaV! The Landy and my old Mini After having a look around at a few, I came across one that was local to me so thought I'd give it a shot. So off I went one morning to have a look, got there to
