You have some determination think I'd have binned it ages ago!ha fair play!

[Mx5markey]

The feeling of boost is keeping me going haha. At the end of this I'll have a fully rebuilt engine from fixing all the parts !

[LarZ]

pure sickener dude. stick at it though!

[Mx5markey]

Cheers. It will live again.

Engine out.


Found This.


Changed it.
Engine back in.


In 6 and a half hours. Not bad for some lads in a shed and a halfrauds toolbox.
It has never ran so well. F*cking delighted.
So far, 100%. Boosting 7psi with a new map and it is mad fast. I'm in love.

Heres some shots from autoheroes. Cant believe how good it looks.




It's pretty much done for now. Going to enjoy it for a bit. Next on the list would be a fuel pump and a new roof, but theres no rush.

Non mx5 or drift related, I just want to show people the sheer size of a citroen c4 vts back box.
About the size of your average house. The one on the right is an everyday humble aftermarket backbox.
