This one (http://www.pistonheads.com/SALES/1581799.htm)

It was originally built by a guy off here. I thought it was a 1.2? Unless that engine blew and was replaced...

Use the search and have a look for the build.

[torquey]

yeah i remember the 1.2 turbo one. dont think its the same

[Andy]

technical_steve did the 1200 turbo

Yeh its definatey technical steve's and I'm sure its only a 1.2. I love the way the ad hints towards him building it and spending thousands. did't he sell it for about £400?!

[kent14sr]

A lot less than £400 iirc - definately same car.

[muzzy]

I thought it was quite an impressive bodge when it was put together lol

On the topic of the turbo, generally a turbo is a turbo regardless if its from a diesel or a petrol, you will find as has been said that various cars on both fuels run the same turbos.

About 7 years ago I brought a g plate silver courtenay converted sr turbo. The car would mess about under boost so i decided to give Coutenay a call and they said they remembered building the car and would be happy to fix it. They had the car for about 6 weeks, charged me £1000. To say the least i was gutted as my 1.4sr with a webber felt quicker!

[jas2000000]

I called them back with my concerns and they were not the least bit interested and blamed it on the airflow meter, so i sent the airflow meter off for testing and it came back with the all clear. The car was running the irmscher injection setup.

[General Baxter]

its called low boost, trick fuel swtiches, std managment, a muslim in a wheel would of produced more power

[jas2000000]

Courtenay claimed about 120 brake

[General Baxter]

they allso say an airfiler gives you 15bhp lol

[jas2000000]

I thought it was going to be in the same league as an r5 gt, how wrong was i.

[jas2000000]

I haven't used them since lol

[amggsi]

I got a few pictures sent through of the car, engine didn't interest me, but thought with the low mileage, it would be a decent shell.
From the pictures it seemed the boot floor was creased, and painted black, arches are rotten etc.
