[Dum-Dum]

Liking that mate, Simple solutions are always the best

[mark_airey]

That tacho sensor is bodgetastic mate good effort!

[Dave]

Darren this is precisely why you'de make an excellent engineer

[Atterz]

As above! Adapt and overcome!

[Matt]

Loving it mate! Good job. Crack on and get it done. FCS is only round the corner real shame it's not going to be ready. Would love to see this looks mean

[Atterz]

I know the car isnt going to make it, but surely you can hitch a lift up Darren?

Darren, had a mate a while back find the same thing with his M112 charger, was pissed off as they're hard to get a good one - he ended up flatting the inside to remove the score marks, had it electroless nickel plated, then honed back to size again, it's still going so can't be too bad.

Saying that, might be cheaper just to get a good 'un!

[darrenjlobb]

Cheers for the input Ripp, Tbh for the cost of them (common car to break) it probs would be cheaper, altho to be fair, you never know what your buying as there all "wore" by now...


As for an update, as most people know, I did end up bringing it up to FCS, it was a bit of a last minute thing, but had it on the road, so thought why not, and surpisingly I managed the 600 miles without a single fault, which was good!

I didnt really take any photos of my car as I failed big time on the photo front, but a few photos nicked from elsewhere of it there..

Warming up at idle at the campsite:



The sort of complete engine bay:



Had an epic weekend / epic to see everyone again, but glad to be home, so I can start opening it up!

[Niall]

Darren was good to see you and the car. Oh and I loved the water pipe.....

[mark_airey]

WTF happened to my pic looks like its been through FB compression

[bigcheez2k3]

What is that blue pipe between the inlet manifold and vnt turbo? Water pipe?

[THE_Liam]

No still no pulley, have someone else looking at it atm, but not heard anything for a while... Bit of a nitemare really!

[Jonny b]

Well my mans machine is up and running now he has a backlog but if you get stuck let me know, he was devastated to let someone down

[Frosty]

Hi Darren, I saw your car at FCS and it look awesome! Just wondered where you got your angle eyes from? I noticed they don't fit great in the wing but guess there all like that

[Niall]

I'm sure they do fit well. Just Darren's boost is in the way. Form - function and all that shiz

[Frosty]

There was another phase 1 there and that seemed to have the same problem. I want to get some though as they look amazing on black phase 1s

[darrenjlobb]

Hi Darren, I saw your car at FCS and it look awesome! Just wondered where you got your angle eyes from? I noticed they don't fit great in the wing but guess there all like that

They always used to fit OEM, and will again one day, just havent had the chance..

Ive got an intercooler hose from the supercharger that gets right in the way of it, have already hacksawed the back of the headlight out, but its still not enough... Its function over form atm, but hoping to fix things like that this year...

[Jonny b]

[Frosty]

Ok thanks for that. Do these look like the 1s you have got
