Not done an update thread on my car for ages, but done a fair few bits, so time for a W.I.P. thread...
For those of you that dont know it:
Well after blowing my turbo engine up back in august just before the PNG llandow trackday, i decided to use the XE from my white one in it, to go to the trackday.
So 7pm friday night, just after the knocks and bangs began!:
It got towed down to my garage where it was to be changed over, ready for some abuse on the Monday at Llandow.
I got the white one in this condition, with the intended use of repairing it and using it for winter:
I got this the first week in July, and found an XE for it, with all conversion parts etc, so this got done and was nearly ready for the road by late july!
Anyway, I raided the white Nova for its XE engine:
Out came the blue Nova's turbo engine:
And the XE went in, complete with the F28 due to the mount. After this it got a bit hectic, approx 7pm on the Saturday, so no pics were taken.
Anyway to cut a long story short, after a few problems it eventually fired up and i was set to drive back from the garage to Wales to do the PNG trackday @ LLandow. Unfortunately I got no further than to pick my mate up when the XE engine started to knock, so all that effort for nothing!
