Project faith. 2.1 8v HAS TO GO :(

[bashbarnard]

So now this has been on the road a few days i feel like i can actually update on this "engine feel" amoung other things. To start with this feels just like a 2.1 toqueful and lazy revving a but puts on speed and a substantial rate and doesnt feel hurried or laboured at all. The rhf5 turbo is defiantly a different feel to the gt20 i use to run. The torque curve is a LOT smoother. Takes a little longer to come on boost but when its on boy its there and begging for more fuel than ive dialled in but leaving it as is till ive got time to tune it correctly.

Now the bad bits ive found, p bushs need doing which i have. o/s driveshaft seal needs doing as its leaking. got that as well. exhaust knocks but i have a 2.5 inch system to build and put on. n/s/r calliper has a slight leak so needs replacing.

Now the REALLY f*cking BAD BIT. i bought the car covered in dirt. for £40 for parts for another car then proceeded to find £6 in it so its a £34 car with mot on. however a little bit on the rear quarter needs painting that i missed. some bastard has ratlle canned it. pikey arse. Those people that have been to my workshop know that my mate has a fully functional spray booth to hand! and as the bumper boot and grill needs a little touch up i may just go full hog and change the colour.

Thought opinions and general banter is welcomed as normal. really want so input guys. at the end of the day this car has been built from the stuff i read and hear about on here.
