[brian]

lol. exciting times alright Rick when yer at that stage and hopefully it stays that way and there isn't a massive anti-climax!!!!!!!

Im all excited about getting my Rally car shell and i don't even know where it is.......somewhere between england and Armagh in N.Ireland :o

[Rick Draper]

Its been run is as a standard engine then i will decide what to do Dan, it aint that much hassle for me to pull the engine out again to fit a LSD so i aint got one yet and i would pull it out when/if i have new management anyway to just give it a once over!

Shud run exactly the same as before really just without a boost leak so it shud be faster and with a big intercooler meaning lower inlet temp as well. O and the fact it will have 6 forward gears now :lol: and a nice clean engine bay!

Pics will come now when its all back together and running on 15" wheels while i decide what to do to my old wheels.

[jkhilton]

I'm glad to see you're getting over your car troubles Rick, can't wait to see it all finished.

I turned my car on this afternoon, to drive to work for my first nightshift and the damn thing blew a load of smoke out the back and then wouldn't run. I lifted the bonnet to see the whole back end of the engine covered in all and smoke coming from loads of bits!!!! fucking cars!!!! :(

[Dare-devil]

LoL very very small pic. :P

[Stuart]

yes its old, but sooooooo worth it lol

rick is it "nearly finshed" yet? :P

[krobinson]

Someone who has the nerve to rant on about how my engine shouldnt have dryed a bearing. But has went through a fair few engines since this post, more than two years ago, and still hasnt finished :lol: :lol: :lol:

Get your finger out rick

Keith :P

[burgo]

tis rather amusing "running by the weekend" 2 years later lol

[Rick Draper]

LeeH will verify that is was finished but it was so late in the year it never made it to shows! I went to the NW PNG meet in it then up to his house as he could not make the meeting. I managed 80 miles on the old engine and that was that. That winter i took it to bits and it aint been near a road since.

[yellow nova]

I was at the meet that day and can say it was on the road

This is all true, I witnessed the thing on the road, even parked on my street for a bit.
