You could always use the beam for spares as I believe they havew 19mm TB and 24mm ARB. Had a 24mm ARB on the 205 once and it was solid on turn in

Yeah I could do, but a, I left my old beam in Airdrie, and b, the gti beam has different specs, wider track, more camber (LOL) etc. And discs.

Nope, there's f*ck all past the midrange now, and she's smokey as f*ck. And not ousting past 15psi. I'm hoping it's the fuel filter cuz I haven't changed it in ages, but I'm pretty sure the turbo is on its way out. Hey ho, bigger and better Big Grin

Chris, it's like I said man, the engine is tough as f*ck!

You have to look at the amount of abuse he's give it though, dumping it's oil out everywhere, blowing the head and just torqueing it down, not to mention strapping a blower on an NA engine, and it's still running!

You looking for a new engine Sam? I think the 1.4 has lower compression, might be better to boost...

Yeah but as Liam said, the shit I've given it, and it still gets me to and from work every day, sure it sounds like shit and is a bit down on power, but ts still going, over 4500 miles some I did it, when everyone was expecting it to die within 30 miles.

Nah, lime, sticking with the 1.5,the 1.4s are wet liners and really prone to hg failure

I was sceptical that it was going to last the test drive when we fitted that turbo (almost 9 months ago npw!) And I'm shocked it's still going. That engine is properly bullet proof!

Epic weekend was epic lol Xav's still having Vietnam flashbacks from Saturday night!

The rivets were a truly inspired moment.

"Got any tigerseal?"

"Nope"

"Got any bolts?"

"Nope. Got a shedload of rivets though?"
