Most of you know the car, as it was James Kings old car, just thought i'd start a thread to keep up with progress on the car,
No pics as yet, but some progress,
Got the rear of the car converted to 5 stud and the new wheels fitted, tomorow i'll be swapping the fronts and all the suspension and getting the brakes sorted so it can be driven again, i'll be changing the down pipe from the turbo tomorow also for a larger diameter one, and hopefully if it turns up in time i'll be fitting an adjustable boost tap into the turbo and running it at york at the next round of SS, it wont be mot'd by then but shouldnt take much longer, over the winter i'll probably pull the engine and rebuild it with new bearings, etc, i'll get some pictures tomorow if i remember to take the camera

Make sure to fit a boot gauge & fuel mixture sensor before turning up the boost ;) Also, don't go above about 11 or 12 psi as it stands, otherwise you may get interesting (melted) results :lol:

Good luck with it, hope to see you hit the track soon!
