[Midnightclub]

Yeah if you've been in wales for any kind of lengthy period you'd realise a lot of people do speak it, as bash said they teach it at school

[roland rat]

So I've been buying bits for the s**t box and it seems there's a few secret forum jokers out there!

And a big thank you to Dangti6 for the red '6' badges,Gnrlee for the Xsara jet washers and the 'GTI' Badges are the Rover ones I bought from Ebay.

Here's the Rover 25 GTI badges next to the red '6' badges (yes Rover made a 25 GTI :lmao)

A bit bigger than the Pug ones but look good imo

Rough cost on Supercharging this engine? making me want to do it... How different would it be on a 1.8 block though?

I have a receipt for 3.2k for all the work and parts supplied by Lynx Engineering and then there's the cost of the kit that's about 1k.

You could do it for 2-2.5k second hand but the parts don't come up very often

[adam b]

You know you won't keep up with me...

[roland rat]

Unlikely as it's currently sorned until Feb 1st

If you're gonna try trolling you must try harder

[silverzx]

F*ck that, too much effort.

Seriously, always wanted a SC-6 back in the day, be good too see this running 40 psi on a HX40.

I see there's not a lot of love for the Rotrex here then.

Its a good set up and tried and tested for low boost reliability and sadly I don't have the money to build a forged bottom end for big power.

what are you running  40psi  on , and is a hx40 , basically a t4 turbo

[roland rat]

So after my massive win last sat on the lottery (£123 for 4 balls) I decided to buy more bits for the car



Got everything needed to give it a good service bar the rotrex traction fluid and gearbox oil.

Bought a few extras like clutch cable and handbrake cables as mine don't look the best.

[twangy]

whats the plans with the car ratty , are you keeping it basically how it is, just tidying all the little faults m8

Well I'm keeping the engine as is but will be changing the cambelt/water pump and  full service.

Suspension wise I'm thinking either KYB Ultra SR or Bilstein b6's with xsara vts/eibachs springs upfront and on the back im going rebuilt beam with 21mm tb's and a hybrid ARB.

Brakes wise the Wilwood 4 pots are perfect so nothing changing there.

Just want to source a mint drivers seat for the interior and it's fine inside.

Bodywork wise just a blow over on the front bumper and refurbished cyclones and i'm done.

Hoping to get this all done by Spring action day in April

Is the traction fluid still radiculously expensive? Think 1 litre was over £100.00

[adam b]
