She looks a bit sorry for herself now!

Took turbo off and stripped it to stop the car smoking. Can see it not hitting the road again now until another engine is sorted for it. So that will be a while

See if I can get that coating of dust upto an inch

I might do this when i get my house/garage later in the year. Sorn it end September when tax expires and maybe not sell it but play with it as a long term project over a couple years, maybe. Need to sort my power problem out, head to come off soon and check my pistons arent XE ones as the compression seems a little high and theres a distinct possibility its using a converted block.

Tims, when it comes out, make sure its sooper fassst

Converted blocks are not that bad! I'll be selling a set of Mahle pistons dude if your interested? I've a random set lying around.

I'd not complain if mine was a converted block.

No point in putting just another turbo on, as the engne will fuck that one up too I think.

Wouldnt be a problem, if it was using LET pistons, but looks like they could be XE ones in there. I'll let you know if I need some, cheers

OK dude, I've the Mahle pistons for sale (£400) and I can sort those other forged ones on thread, but they will be about £600 I bet...
