Oh noes, that means my proposed new project won't be quite as special as I'd hoped :(

Also, shame he had to sell that. I've missed a bit on here.

People seem to give up (or give them up) fast enough.

Wiganer and Liam are still cracking on, theres no shame in doing a good job though dude.

Still one of my dream cars.............. on LPG!!!!!!!

Yeah, almost LPG'd the valver before it went pop (well, also I was selling it too). LPG gets a lot of bad rap (go on, I can almost hear you googling something for that pun) but if done professionally they really do reap their returns. I was quoted £800 approx for an install in Bristol :)

Think Dai and his dad do them cheaper than that mind.
Do not ask how long you would have to sit and read a magazine while it was being completed though.................................................................

That saloon turbo looks smart, 11c turbo is very small though. I can only think the 11C was used in the S60 T6 (as part of a twin turbo setup).. Tidy looking shell as well

are you doing a b230 turbo conversion? i was abit gutted when i saw how many there was lately but its still pretty special, think how many red top corsa's you see knocking bout, probs more redtops than 300's lol

Yeah true, it's still an option but I like to do things that nobody has done before. I wanted originally to do a 240 engine with cam and carb mods, nothing stupidly powerful but nice noise and maybe getting to the mid 100s of bhp. But then I realised the stock b230 is only 10hp more than the stock b19. Not worth the effort of taking it all out.

SO, I've got some other ideas now :wink:
