UPDATE!



As some of you may know i have been having some issues with getting the car ready for JAE.



When assembling the car back together i found out that my TD04 exhaust side of the turbo had worn threads and would not tighten up :( so had a right game trying to find a second hand one. the first one got lost in the post and the second had bent studs so more hours of faffing then then had to bend them into shape again..



the car is now running but not had time to give anything a clean :( its just gathered dust since Japfest 2..



here is how the car stands....

sent my rocker cover over to Dean at RW developments and he came and dropped it back round like this last night :)

Lovely car josh

And the look on your face when you realised it was a smoke bomb and not a 4e-bomb was epic!

Good to see you as always dude. Hope you enjoyed your cup of tea

And well done on the award. Very well deserved

thanks everyone for the comments and all the positive input over the weekend! as some of you know i was planning on selling the car after JAE.



this is no longer the case ;)



i really didn't expect to win the best Glanza award as there were so many beauties around! so i feel very honoured and as a first timer I LOVED IT!


(even if i did get the smoke bomb treatment LOL)



here are a couple of photos taken :) anyone who took photos feel free to post them up :)



Dont think the car looked too bad as the last time i touched it with a cloth was the day before Japfest 2 and i drove up a muddy track on the way here :)



oh and TrisK i owe you two cups of tea!

Awesome stuff josh! How you finding the manifold? Been speaking to Keith about top mount td04 yours looks sexual !

Dan

its brilliant mate! so easy to work around and it looks amazing. took the turbo off last night and only took 15 mins and that was with a load of faffing around with tools etc :)

Awesome mate, one of my favourite cars on the forum!

Glad to be being a part of it over the next few days ;)

Thanks mate :) still not finished yet :p

the turbo is now off and getting picked up today by Liam_D's company to be rebuilt so fresh turbo soon :D
