Todays update is dedicated to the Legend that is Mr Thomas Eccles.

Has 3 parcels this morning, one far more urgent than the others. I received one corsa rear engine mount off Tom and its set the engine perfectly in the bay where as before it sat to far backwards:




And modded with a 3 bolt setup and then fitted:

Rear avos fitted with new spring seats which means the ride height can now be adjusted:


Fitted the system to see how it looks, quite like it, car better than the 4" tail pipe i had on the nova!

And this also arrived, my GT3071R with a anti surge 4" inlet and a Tial v band exhaust housing. Yummy:

Got some Depo lights and a chassis strengthening kit in exchange for my old Swindon cam belt cover. Thanks Greg.

Waiting on inlet gasket then the inlet can go back on. Then i just need to go over to James with the Turbo so he has got something to mockup my manifold on. Dunno when i will make it over there though

Had a road trip today, first to see James at Nortech and drop him my turbo off so he can used it to template my manifold. It will be done in 10-12 days time.

I had to call in and meet Chris Sutton as well, was driving through Sheffield looking for where he was and i saw this:


I did wonder if he had signed up for the circus tbh.

Anyhow i met him and collected these:

Nic Barnes recons i paid him for them in blades and plasters....

Wank update tbh. Still waiting on inlet manifold gaskets so ordered 2 from Autovaux which will be here tomorrow, along with the wiring connectors i need to wire in my Apexi. I received my tie bar bolts off matt_1.416v thank you very much so i chucked them on. Then i sorted the gear linkage out so thats now all fitted and ready to roll. Hopefully tomorrow will see better progress tbh. I hate waiting for stuff.
Linkage:

Apexi valves fitted:
