Project Truck Turbo MkII, gathering dust

[ozonehostile]

I didn't mean to say downpipe, I'm getting the probe put into the manifold side in the straight section as close to the outlet as possible and I'm not that concerned about melting the probe as its a chunky little thing, and as darren says, I would certainly know if my egts were that hot.

Fail on my behalf lol

[ozonehostile]

Bit more shiney hording:

New boost pipes, very nice kit, genuine mikalor clamps and all the pipes have swaged ends which was a pleasant surprise and has saved me a job doing it myself



just waiting for manifold/exhaust heatwrap to turn up and my battery cutoff things to come now

[Piggy]

[Pugmarshall]

[ozonehostile]

[Pugmarshall]

[Piggy]

nah i dont see the point, glare isnt an issue on 306 dashes anyway, and besides its more money to spend on lightweight stuff like plastic windows

[Piggy]

I cant stand the glare on a black 306 dash.

be high on my list when I get me new one

Really? Ive never had glare off a 306, well not enough to annoy me anyway. 405 dash was terrible for glare so by comparison I guess I don't notice

and because /racecar

[Anton]

Boys you know you can get brand new indicator lenses for about £6 each?

yes we 'boys' do. you old fart!

[Anton]

Haha good, i've just got some new ones

[ozonehostile]

Some of my becauseracecar bits turned up today



then headed down the workshop for a bit to change the heaters over between the 2 cars, the non aircon unit is on the left and is half the size and barely weighs anything


spot the subtle bulkhead mod


i then spent what felt like ages turning this


into this



its a spacer i had to make from scratch to go between the oil filter and the new sandwhich plate

dash being re-fitted tomorrow and doing the plumbing

[Piggy]

why did you need the spacer?!

[ozonehostile]

why did you need the spacer?!

Long story, basically I'm using a 16 row oil cooler and binning the oem water cooled plate, I'm using two sandwich plates, one for the cooler,one for the temp sensor and pressure sensor, these two plates together art quite the same thickness as the original so I need a spacer over the locking nut as they would be loose other wise.

[306GT30]

Epic!

[Poodle]

Flol overkill much with your materials there!

Need to look into this myself, those units really are mahoosive lol.

[Piggy]

c'mon ozone...you done yet?

[ozonehostile]

c'mon ozone...you done yet?

Haha, it would be but work gets in the way. Also waiting for stuff.

Parts I still need to pay for are seats and harnesses, roller bearing wishbones, AVO coilovers and adjustable top mounts, apart from those things I have It all ready to go as long as the first start goes ok
