Wheels look sweet Mark. You used the same chap as me (Ron) for the flocking didn't you? He's very reasonable on price!

Would love be Borbets. Will you take £5 a month?! Lol

[Pompey306mark]

Lol. Just get a 0% credit card transfer me the money and then pay them £5 a month.

Yea Ron at the flock shop in gosport.

Can't wait to get the wheels on.

[Pompey306mark]

So decided to do something a little different, well on my car.

[Pompey306mark]

So test for of the alloys I bought a few weeks ago, can now go buy some new rubber.



Clears the calipers and does not touch anything on the inside.

[Pompey306mark]

Just bought a new set on P zero's .

[Pompey306mark]

Right strange day today, went up to kris's and got the tyres fitted and the put two on the old scar so it can be moved.
There was limited space and time due to arranging the delivery of this.



Needs a bit of work to secure the gearbox mounted turbo which is a td05. I would like to find out what pump and clutch is on it also.

Pic of the alloys with the new tyres one.




Was wondering if anyone wanted to come lend a hand next weekend, but have just realised that dumdum is having his BBQ so think people would prefer that lol.

[306GT30]

ah sweetnes mate!

[Tom]

Not keeping the td05 are you?

[Pompey306mark]

Might give it a try.

[Tom]

Hell, brave man lol surely it needs a big juicy vnt to spool it up?

[Pompey306mark]

The td05 is not that big a turbo. Well it didn't seem that big when I saw it today.

Really don't want to go VNT without more knowledge.

[Piggy]

td05 is huge...its for the big 400bhp evos etc!!

brave too with standard head bolts!!

[Tom]

I personally think its a td04, check out the serial numbers and make sure. I do agree from the pics i seen it looks a bit small.

[Pompey306mark]

Td05 16g I think.

[Bengley]

Been a while since I was at Kris's, I could come and give a hand next weekend if you want me to?

[Piggy]

get a little snail in there to spool up that td05...then you be talking!!
booOOOOOSTTT!

[Pompey306mark]

Yea that would be cool bengley and help would be great.

[ginge191]

This is really coming along well!

Keep that td05 mate! It's been done already and proved successful!!

I would love to pop up but only have the Saturday off which is occupied from 1pm onwards; unless you're heading up EARLY I could show up!?

[Pompey306mark]

I might go up early. Depends on kris really.

[ginge191]

Keep me posted

[Pompey306mark]

Yea will do. I need to sort out getting my bonnet back up there too

[Pompey306mark]

So no car for the forseeable future as I have lost the use of my brothers KIA.
It took over two hours to get up here this morning, I hate public transport.



So finally got the dash in, I think it's all plugged in correct will find out in the not to distant future.

Just need to wire up the gauges and get the engine fitted, then it'll be time to test everything and get it running.

[Pompey306mark]

So old engine is out, subframe removed.

Did have a pic but have deleted it. Hopefully next weekend we can get the subframe bolted up to the new car, get my Gazgolds shifted over to the new shell and make some head way with swapping some bits over onto the new engine.

[adamm306]

just read through this, awesome read will be good to see it finished

[Pompey306mark]

Hopefully lol.

[Pompey306mark]

Front suspension mounted, moved the car and next weekend will see about getting the engine ready for fitting.
