Started stripping the seam sealer in the engine bay off today, will put pics up tomorrow!
good progress fella :thumb:
Nice little car there mate, good to see that your starting a little overhaul, will probably be turboing my 1.4, what is the 1.6 turbo like to drive? how dose it compare to a redtop performance wise?
The 1.6T is good to drive, but sometimes if im just driving along nice and steady and the boost kicks in it just goes flying down the road, because its a small turbo there is virtually no lag! As for comparing it to an XE, power wise a standard XE has less power! 1.4 T sounds interesting! 8v or 16v? What turbo are you thinking of using?:thumb:
Ive drove mikes car,and compared to my old xe nova it was loads faster and much more nibble,easyer to drive,much more fun..but stick tb's on the xe and then your talking :DQuote:

Spent abit of money today bought some paint for spraying my servo and other little bits!

Cleaned my servo, then masked it up and got a piece of timber and drilled a 38mm hole in it to hold it upright for spraying!
