I didn't realise until I drove the car home, a brand new part has been damaged and you can only tell when the cars under load (ie peak power) The problem has now got worse and now Lee's found the problem we can tell that it has been caused by someone ragging the shit out of it that can't drive properly. I had been taking it easy because the engine had been out of the car for 6months and a lot of parts have been replaced and then they go and drive it like that. Not very happy

I've never driven a car with a turbo before properly. I know its going to take some getting used to but everyone has said that im not going to be able to stop it wheel spinning to some degree especially off the mark. Ive learnt so much in the last 6months and I know ive got a lot more to learn too. But im happy to learn new things and hopefully I will become a much better driver and be able to look after my car a lot better too.

No I can't say the bodywork is too great for the money it cost. Why can't people do their damn jobs properly

you will have to work on your start's i dont spin my wheels off the start, never have done, but practice will sort it im sure, you cant apply mental amounts of power round the corners like an N/A motor neither, has to be fed in gradual

Ive never had problems with wheel spinning before so im sure I will get used to it eventually. At the end of the day its all about knowing your car, ive hardly driven it really as yet.

Such a shame, seeing as Lee done such a good job on the conversion. First turbo conversion and it started first time too

Haven't spoken to them yet, had an idea of the problem but I wanted to find out for definate which Lee nicely did for me today. I can't really prove it but im definately going to let them know about it. Luckily I gave them a list of the small problems we had anyway and obviously its come back with a big problem and the clutch had just been replaced too which I can prove. Also the car come back with power steering problems that weren't there before too.

I've got a little problem that maybe you might be able to help with. The speedo reads but incorrectly (ie reads 40mph when its doing 70mph) do you know what might cause that?
