well over the past few months u have had ups and down most people would ov thrown the towel in and sold it but u kept on the game and stuck wiv it and now that its spot on we can have another road trip up two bager 5 in the new year and a nice drive home lol.
and the only time i have beet u in a race was when u first had it when standerd lol and i had more boost lol.
but all in all good work gaz.
top car.

 

[gazcuprablk]

hahahahaha you ******* you jinxed me!!!! i want to throw the towel in but i cant sell a car thats not complete and want to finish it how i want it before i think about selling it,

how has everyone's xmas been? must of been better than mine as ive blown the turbo up its making hell of a racket and my plans for next year are going to have to come forward as i need the car to start off the shows to say im gutted is unreal cant belive its happened to me but hey onwards and upwards

 

[Spud_G40]

Chin up Gaz, just think of when you get the GT30 on there and setup nice with some slicks, it will be hello 12s on the 1/4 I reckon. Keep going nearly there reliablity wise lol.

Even tho I want to beat you at next years Inters!

 

[gazcuprablk]

i hope so but i dont want to just chuck the turbo on id rather of kept the 28rs on as this one is goin to have more lag so ill have rev the balls off it even more to get it going, and then i will have to get an lsd in there and get the head re-built to take the high rpm's plus a new manifold to fit this turbo up on top as i dont think it'll fit where it is now so thats easilly another 2k spending on it!!!! where will it end i also want a roll cage new seats, paint job 1 big money pit this is getting now but needs to be finished. maybe 2012 lol

its even worse as i dont have a drive or garage to work on my car and its to cold to do it now and really want the turbo on and the map tweeked so i can take it to ultimate dubs on march the 8th

 

[Cupra20]

thought ultimate dubs was on the 14th not the 8th?

You planning on putting bucket seats in?

 

[Spud_G40]

I'm in the same boat mate. I can't even afford the coilovers I want, and I want bucket seats too, and slicks, and my new wheels powdercoated. And a diff List is always never ending on these things!

 

[gazcuprablk]

lol my bad knew it was around that sort of date haha, i have bucket seats in now cobra daytona's but want something more sexy like either recaro pole position, recaro cs's or porsche 'nomex' seats but theyre waaay more than i wanted to pay so the cobra's are staying in for now,

cars are hard work im goin to look at a golf estate now runabout lol 1.9tdi so i can get on with doin my car and not be stuck askin people for lifts hope its not a nail

 

[Cupra20]

How have you fixed your buckets, they on runners or fixed to the floor?

think everyone has a wishlist at the minute i know i do! Lol

 

[gazcuprablk]

i had the seats for a steal off ebay a while back they came with mark 4 golf subframes so i used them to fix to the runners and i had to weld a little bit of metal to the front so theyd stay there worked out much cheaper to do this than buy 2 new frames that are £70 each and means i can slide them back and forward and get people in the back

was the golf any good Gaz

cool, only ask as i want some buckets but i'm unsure how i want to fix them, are you using harnesses aswell?

 

[gazcuprablk]

phoned the guy with the golf no answer carried ringing him for most of the day no answer guess its sold altho it would have been easier for the guy to answer and tell me twat lol so the search is on for a cheap car to do me for a month or 2 if i cant find 1 in the next few days im not goin to bother and get on with whipping the turbo off and getting the new one on asap. im missing my boost now but atleast its not gettin used and will have time to do the few little jobs that have been bothering me.

not using harnesses yet cant find any that are under 100 quid for the pair altho im not buying cheap ones just waiting for a m8 to upgrade his sparco 3points for some 5 points and ill prob have them for a few bucks, im using standard seatbelts at the mo.

 

[Cupra20]

harness arn't to cheap but well worth spending the money for a quality set i reckon

 

[gazcuprablk]

ye defo seen some shite ones about and been offered loads of cheap ones but whats the point it buying cheap ones if your goin to end up buying decent ones later down the line?

hopefully i get some info about tidying my bay up off here as i want to start making the motor look tidy then ill attack the bodywork goin to take it 1 step at a time instead of the usual doing 3 jobs and then not finishing any lol

 

[Robbie C]

Stick with it mate, it will come together eventually. You've not had the best run of luck though eh

Daily drivers are the way forward! 1.0 106 ftw Kudos for doing all this without a garage too, madness!

 

[gazcuprablk]

na not had the best year 2009 brought some surprises changed my engine 3 time had 1 gearbox change as i thought it was gone but some nob forgot to tighten the flywheel so lets hope 2010 brings me some luck as i need it.

i only work within 5 min walk to work only reason i want a runabout is so i can pick up bits for the car and take stuff to be powdercoated. so may not bother

 

[gazcuprablk]

heres the turbo in question http://www.owendevelopments.co.uk/products/product-detail.asp?prodId=18&catId=19&subId=-1. still unsure what to do if it will fit where he other turbo is now or if theres not enough room i will sell it and buy another 28rs or even a 2871 if theyre no bigger in size.

[gazcuprablk]
