I thought it might be a good idea for everyone whos cars are off the road to make a list in this thread of there cars and whats needed to be done to get them to national day?
Maybe this way smaller problems could be sorted by local members if needed?? Or just some advice given??
My list stands at
1- Rusty windscreen panel replaced
2-Turbo rebuilt(bit smokey )
Anyone else feel free to add
Clio needs tax then it's ready I guess, minus a supercharger this year though I'm temped to just bring the ATR
Nice and easy then. might sound daft..... whats ATR?
Build an inlet manifold.
Modify radiator.
Modify intercooler.
Pipe everything up.
Wire everything up.
FIt bonnet catches.
Hope it actually works.
Run it in.
Get Scoff to Map it.

Bigger turbo

Well i can cross one thing off my list, got my fogs working
wish my fogs workedthats a little to do list that never gets looked at.
As long as the steerings connected to the wheels along with some form of engine driving them and a bit of braking from somewhere then im happy
Need to fix my turbo or replace and fit a front mount intercooler
perfect opportunity to weld your wastegate shut and fit a external
retrieve new block from machine shop and fit pistons

Sounds good to me....... makes me realise how many massive projects are going on lol
where do i start......
1.) cut adaptronic loom in half and add a connector in the engine bay so i can remove the engine and leave the ecu and loom in the car
2.)fit turbo teds old T34 and external wastegate, remake downpipe with a 3" flex so it dont crack again. fit 500cc injectors fit v8 rear engine mount, fit jc5 gearbox so i can have a speedo with programmable boost
3.)paint the inside of the car floor in digital Camouflage
4.) get some /make DOOR CARDS!!!! front and rear just flat ones and wrap them in a rat look/comic book look
5.)put in my cobra evolution seats and harnesses
6.) strip the lacquer off my ronal turbos and mirror polish
im sure this list will get bigger, ive just cut out 2 carryer bags of wiring out my valver dash conversion (central locking, radio, electric windows ect) and integrated switched live feeds and constant feeds for my adaprtronic its just when i did my minimalistic wiring in the engine bay i made the hole for the loom so small i cant pull it through the scuttle panelso hence me putting a durite 20 pin plug in the engine bay.
I need to get my dash out....... really cant be bothered removing the cage tho, think i may just chop the dash up........... any recomendations people? its a safety devices cage.
Well all the above has been completed and car sailed straight through its mot today, so all done for another year.
Well done, that was quite a list... didnt take you long
Car looks fantastic, look forward to seeing it round blyton
Thanks mate. I took two weeks holiday to do the work among other things.Well done, that was quite a list... didnt take you long

It never stops tho, just purchased an uprated bosch fuel pump from simply-automotive to go on and then the fun of jetting the carb using the afr meter begins.
Something that amazed me as a first time afr gauge user is how we all think the standard carb will fuel for 1bar on a standard engine. Im running 10psi for now with air filter/exhaust/hybrid turbo and im lean at wot in 3rd/4th (13.6/13.8) i would hate to put an afr meter on a standard car with average mileage.
Yeah i found the same.
Spoke to soon...
Change manifold gasket
New HT leads
Gear selector bush
