Can you get cheap fiberglass doors, bonnet and bootlid for the Chasers?
When John's swapped them all for fiberglass and removed the other bits and pieces and did the boot-floor on the M3 the difference was like night and day.

Don't know why people are all going for Holset turbos other than the fact they are cheap... If I wanted ultra reliabilty, I'm sure there is better out there but costs more too I suppose.

The repeat failure of other turbos so far can't be all the turbos fault so I'd make sure everything else is perfect when your at it.

Black will be nice again too once you do some good graphics to make it stand out. Be good to get away from the feeling its a driftworks car and making it your own too.



You going to cage the touring over the winter too so you'll have a spare reliable car when....I mean if.... this goes bang
Thanks for your input lad, being honest the only way il be doing PD next year is if i spend fuck all on the car. So new panels are out of the question as nice as they would be. As for Holsets, the way i see it is they are built for lorries, so need to be seriously reliable. They are cheap, and the rebuild kit for one is 30stg. Compared to Garretts €900. The sweds etc seem to run them on everything from Fords to Bmw's etc and have had some great figures etc. So thats why im gonna go down that line. The failures have been figured out, all different things.

As for the bm, il see how she goes over the winter

Thanks everyone for the comments, i shud have the tank in and plumbed tomorrow so il get up pics
