7am this morning

 

[Mark@VAGWORX]

Sent the wastegate flange off to RS Fabrications on tuesday for next day delivery. Might be worth calling them Daz to see if it arrived ok.

looking good h17och

 

[h17och]

yea thanks mark, they got it tuesday. i only dropped jp's head off to him today as he has been away. been in the way ever since lol

i was told i would have some pics from rs fab by now but no luck

also im having the manifold flow benched once its back to see how good it really is

Hooch,have you decided what your gonna do about traction once all this work has been done At what point do you think your wheels will stop spinning

also im having the manifold flow benched once its back to see how good it really is

comparing it to what else as a yard stick?

 

[h17och]

well the person who will be doing it has alot of other manifold specs/flow data on file. we will be trying it on large and small port head to see how much if any of a restriction it will be.

caney, i will worry about that when its running, just want to drive it at mo im not sure how long the box will last yet!?

im looking at buying a kit car with a friend at mo. if traction is that bad i will use the engine in that.

be interesting results when compared against known other setups

 

[karlosR]

so when do you think it will be all bolted back together and running then hooch? i'd love to see it sometime when its all finished maybe at a show/meet/TTS?

 

[h17och]

well going by rs fabrications performance so far it wont be done any time soon.

they hadnt been replying to my emails so i turned up 8am sat morning....only to find my car hadnt been touched and it was in a yard over the road absolutly filthy and covered in crap. which i thought was odd as i was told 2 weeks to do it and it will ALWAYS be stored indoors....doesnt look like its been indoors since ive left it let alone finished in 2 weeks!

un-happy HoocH...over and out

 

[karlosR]

thats shocking mate. i hope you kicked some arse!

 

[h17och]

i didnt want to stir too much **** up as they are nice blokes and i want a good job done.

i will see what progress if any is made this week and if none i will be collecting the car.

once you see the work they do in the flesh it would be hard to go else where

 

[rashcupra]

hope you turn up to find it all done mate!
