Hey all, been a while but finally got back to the car stuff
so, on with the update.
The black one has finally been run in and im planning on oil and filter change in the next week or so, however i still have a little smoke now and again and me being me this isn't acceptable. Got the original head back, skimmed, pressure tested and new valve stem seals fitted and given a clean bill of health but haven't rebuilt it yet. I reinsured it this week and was suprised how cheap; zero NCB, all mods honestly declared and avg mileage around 2500 all for 250 notes! classics win!
I have plans, hence the thread title, for this one as she's had a fair few owners and even tho its 2 for the last 7 years, i think if i were to sell thats going to be a downside to price if i were to go that route. 13 in total erk!
After all thats been done to it in the rebuild, the only other place the smoke can be coming from is either residue in the intercoolers or a unhappy turbo.
So, advice with respect to bigger turbo [ ] and supporting mods/parts depending how far down the rabbit hole we go. looking to do something thats fun, most likely loud and puts a bigger smile on my face.
The grey one has had a 3"pipewerx DP and the cat back Zinram of ash fitted. Not fitted the decat pipe yet but might for giggles throw it on tomorrow. Still need both front wings as they are beyond repair and a bonnet respray as its a little hazed and i dont think a good polish will bring it back. Had a couple of intermitant faults with the immobilizer and various electrical bits i.e windows not closing, ecu locked due to the key not being read, temp gauges playing about, but in fairness the OBD2 reader and the upgraded display screen work awesome and i haven't had to drag out the AA yet
She needs another trip to the garage as there seems to be no feed to the rear wiper.
boat aint mine and needs to be moved
