[KPARRIS-JONES]

you've both been busier than me lol.

X2 lol

You've been welding turrets, strictly speaking, I haven't touched the GTi since June.

Only been working on the Blue Top. :D

[GTForbes]

glad to see work has begun again, we're almost at the point of dropping the engine in, just a few snagging jobs stopping us

[dawesy]

what probs are they dude?

[Fawbs]

its stopped again now haha been visiting my parents this week.

[Fawbs]

I'll have to show you guys my mondeo discs when i get them off, you will laugh.

Oh and i can't believe i !Removed! missed this today, my parents neighbours son rolled up today in his race car. It has an engine from a fire engine from 1918, 14litres and revs to about 1850rpm. They can get 150 out of it, i can't remember the car my dad said it was made by someone called lafrance or something like that. :S

:lol2:

Still doing better than me, I seriously cba with the rolla atm.... only going to it on Sunday to help a guy out. :D I'll have to get me arse in gear.... just so expensive!

[Fawbs]

You know what it is kp, you need more power ha i wonder if we could have got my old turbo to fit onto your engine, would have been a nice mod.

What you buying?

[KPARRIS-JONES]

haha that would've been interesting! I'm working on the power with the Blue Top Project

A new guy here on the forums needs a GTi Trailer Arm bush, I'm going to remove the O/S TA Bush and send it to him foc. Needs it to pass his MOT. ;)

[Fawbs]

You trying to save all the gti's? Lee must be public enemy number 1 look what he's done to his! ha

kp who is that raistlin guy who posted on my thread a while ago, is he like king of posting the most? I never really look outside the celica forum i'm going to start to now i think.

[KPARRIS-JONES]

lol I hate to see these things go! I know two Lee's here, Dawesy who is a 4A-GE guru (we shall see what I can do to knock him off that post.... ) and Leebo who gave me the other 4A-GE I'm rebuilding now. :)

I can't hate either of them!

Raist? Yeh he is a posting beast, I was proud of 6000 in two years... but daym. :o

Yeh I used to just stick to the Corolla Club, but there are some good convo's to be had elsewhere. ;) Venture into the Corolla Club and you'll see my threads on the GTi :P

[dawesy]

he might have been on about me, as im a lee too lol.

i know what you men about CBA, ive got a big bout of it ATM

[KPARRIS-JONES]

You're a boost whore.... stay away from my N/A purity. :P ;)

[KPARRIS-JONES]

I sent off the definition of Boost Whore to UD. Thought you'd want it on a mug or something :P I'll tell you if they accept it. ;)

[Fawbs]

I nearly trashed my place up today i've never been so **** wound up in my life. My BOV is here at a delivery depot, paid the custom fee's online, was expecting to come back to it but they havent attempted to deliver it. So i spent about 2 hours today ringing the royal mail to try and talk to an actual person and not some automated **** that doesn't have my option :S Even the site didn't help, i swear i was so close to destroying this building :S

[KPARRIS-JONES]

Will it help if I tell you all my deliveries made it just fine? :D

[Fawbs]

Boost !Removed! and they'll just be a picture of lee with a huge borg warner turbo cradled in his arms haha

[Fawbs]

No it wouldn't, its been at that !Removed! depot a week, they didnt list the depot on the royal mail site so couldn't get the number, useless.

[KPARRIS-JONES]

@ both your posts.

I bloody hate waiting for deliveries. I am trying to sort out my HDD for my PC and they only do an exchange basis which is sooooo annoying as I am in the wrong house lol.

[GTForbes]

Lol at your posts, my deliveries have been coming through just fine :P

The jobs that's stopping us are the day to day jobs that a garage must do to survive lol things like mapping my bosses track car to 1.3 bar and paying visit's to our snap-on man oh and making enquiries about getting a dyno installed :D

[Fawbs]

Got my bov finally, I put the bov on but i'm going to need a shorter 90deg out the throttle inlet to fit my alloy T piece, just gashed it up for the moment with my silicone T piece. Couldn't really hear anything as the engine is too loud, so gave it a few revs up to 4500rpm just to see if she was ok, me and ben are doing more on the downpipe tomorrow, if we get that done we can start on the wastegate relocation pipe and screamer. We were trying to get his mk1 escort going mainly today, got it running for 30secs but we think there is an issue with the carbs, starter moment was a right git to get on.

THis was in the garage, an old riley, never heard of them to be honest.

Forbes what can you map, anything or just greddy emanage?

[KPARRIS-JONES]

And it's still faster than my rolla... :(

Got the rest of the parts I need to get her moving though!!! :yahoo:

Now to fit them...

[dawesy]

and mine :(

glad your getting there, youll be running before me lol

[KPARRIS-JONES]

We can't let this happen Lee!!!

[Fawbs]

Was going to work on the downpipe but i was looking at my car and realised i only did this intercooler route so i could move the car. Wasn't happy with it so took it all off, unfortunately my mate has my 10mm flexi head rat ring so it took ages with a combi spanner :S. Anyway my routes now are less complicated and shorter, just need a 90deg silicone hose to complete them. Also need to lag some of the pipes and make a heat shield to place over the manifold.

[KPARRIS-JONES]

TOOOOOOOOOBS!

Looks sexy :D I finally got the 4A-GE to idle properly today.

cough VIDEO cough
