My car is currently in bits with a couple of sheared turbo to mani studs :( I hope to have i back ready for friday but if not I may have to blag a lift up :(
Anyone else suffering similar issues?

I can possibly maybe help a little with the lift Chris...
But my car remains broken, since before the last weekender :wack:

Currently on Saturday whilst pissed Ive got to, paint new bonnet, fit new coilovers that brens bringing, paint my headlight covers, and anything else that brakes.
I'm the next 2 days I've gotta fix a leaking windscreen, leaking boot area, fit my harness, get rear tyres, cable tie everything down in the engine bay, swap my rear lights and Erm pray lol. Good old jap crap eh?
I have a blowing exhaust gasket but I'll be on track (unless it breaks on the way there :wack:).

you know you'll get black flagged if its that bad right? you wont make it past the sound test if it smokes loads.
It's only when on boost lol so I 'should' be okay :wack: hopes and prayers n all that!

Nope:( haven't had time, Algie made me go to the pub on Sunday instead of fixing it:wack:

well if I want to make it through the sound check then i've got to start doing some sustom fabrication to put a silencer in, luckily the bloke i've managed to convince to do it is sound and will be finished in no time :thumbs:
Just have to hope i don't brake anything else before the weekend.
O.k,
So my cars come out of hibernation after standing for almost three years -
I refurbed a caliper and its been given a service and ive flushed out the fuel.
Done a little burn out to bring the tyres back
It seems fine. :eek:

You do realise you are going on track where the car will be on boost for 80% of the time :wack:
I need to top up oil, refill and bleed coolant, re-tighten everything, check for leaks etc, MOT is booked for tomorrow, then tax and hopefully an alignment on Friday!

I'll be driving up on 1.3 bar to be safe, 1.8 is fun but would rather wait till the better brakes arrive :wack: mine has recently undergone a lot of work so should be working just fine for the weekender, just not what I would call track worthy
I thought i left it a bit late!

It's just started raining too :rolleyes: Thinking about it, I have to do it all today as MOT is 9am tomorrow!
Shouldn't be too bad, the only thing I can see taking long is getting rid of air in the system.
stage 3 daz, 300bhp ftw lol

Maybe. It really does depend if I can find any arsed to get it done tbh.
Well that didn't go to plan. :rolleyes:
Turbo > head oil banjo was leaking like niagra falls (don't know how I could have been so stupid?? 99.9999% sure I double checked it all, tightened and the washers were 100% smooth) so I decided to tighten it up then had a minor trickle so nipped it up a bit more and ended up snapping the c*nting bolt. :annoyed::annoyed::annoyed::annoyed:
Think there is enough bolt there to undo it tomorrow but it's supposed to be in the MOT station at 9am. Looks like it'll have to all come out again.

Oh :censored:
Took my de-cat off the car, passed the point of no return when cutting the flages of it. Procceded to hack ten shades of out of them to fit on the new silencer, only to find the engineer place was then closed and left with nothing to put in my exhaust:annoyed:
Just have to hope he's in tomorrow and can get it done.

Thats not broken, you just showing off :p
That's pretty standard deacon lol
When it rains I make 1 of 2 choices.
1. Accept it's wet and either walk / use taxis / make excuse to stay in and not travel
2. Need to go out so accept that if I use more than 1% throttle I'll be manjing down the road :wack:

I thought it was a standard S14? What power is it running?
*EDIT*
Just looked at your build thread. GT28RS, so about 340bhp?

Then
Marshalls FTW :wack:
I was going to say!! Bad alignment, crappy tyres or oodles of power?!
Mine's currently pushing close to 290bhp and I don't get wheelspin in the wet above 2nd unless I clutch kick or hit a wet drain cover/patch of oil/diesel.
