To tell the truth Frayz I just enjoy reading the updates, keeps me going in work, probably one of the best threads on scoobynet

 

I know mate, i enjoy doing it but i dont enjoy waiting or being c*nted off

 

I have been watching this thread from the start and can totally sympathise mate, dont loose faith though, things will come good in the end and the result will be well worth it I'm sure

 

Frayz you haven't compromised from the start and I am sure you won't start now mate

You have never been affraid to deviate from the accepted norm regardless of the "stick"

Looking forward to the final result, except the gear **** of course

 

Cheers guys, sometimes no matter how trivial. Its you lot that keep the project going. Im grateful for that

 

I know the feeling, but keep heart and you'll get there in the end.

I also like reading your updates. Mainly as I like how over-engineered everything is and gives me more ideas to waste my money too .

Will be well worth it .

I'm sure you probably have been, but I would probably be out layering on the wax or down the pub.... weather dependent.

 

Layering on clothes to go kite buggying TBH mate

 

I hope you get the parts that you are waiting for/due soon frayz - shame to see you lose faith like this.

Rest assured it WILL be worth it when complete - you will love the power

 

Cheers dunc

 

I know how you feel matey with waiting for parts; my proflex gear still has not turned up after 4 months now!

We spent 5 months putting the car together late last year and that was only due to waiting for parts, could have been done in a month!

Don't give up mate as when you see that turbo come through the post it will make everything feel better!!! did for me a couple weeks ago when my new one arrived back from AET!

 

Lets hope so mate. We'll just have to wait and see. I just want 2008 to be gone now as its been a sh1te year for me and the car.

2009 will be a fresh start

 

Haha

I sold the scoob, resisted for a year, bought another one...

and this thread is still on....

You can't rush perfection Frayz... this thread/build is the difference between rushing mods and getting them right/perfect even if it takes time... things that seem over the top can often be the difference...

As an engine pervert and speedophile I love this thread...

keep up the good work- it's going to be a brute but also a very well respected car

 

Cheers Trev

This thread will get better i promise

 

Turbo etc was dispatched on friday...

Its finally on its way

 

Brilliant news mate

 

 

Nice one, can't wait to see it back on the road where it should be.

 

 

Excellent!

But is the engine ready to bolt it to?

 

Dont you lot ever read??? lol

My 2ltr is still assembled so i can mock up the turbo setup on it and test fit it in the car. Once im happy with everything i can send the pipework for ceramic coating etc and i can then build the new motor and spec my head machining to suit.

I wanted to mock up everything exhaust wise on the 2ltr so i know it all fits perfectly before it gets bolted to the new motor.

 

Nope!

Understand, but thought the whole bottom end was new, and therefore would not effect any trial fitting?

 

It wont affect it, but id rather be putting my old block in and out of the car, getting dirty, messing about and blah blah blah than the new one.

I need the heads on to mock up the turbo/wastegate placement etc.

 

Frayz whats happening to your "old" Turbo

 

Back at Zaks as it was a development turbo mate.

 

 

Good news and bad news to report

Good news = The turbo has touched down un the UK... (WOOO HOO)

Bad news = I have a nice awkward walk now as ive just opened the customs bill (C**T!!)

 

Ouch, that aint gonna be cheap I bet ! Lube up and bend over gorgeous

 

Know that feeling very well, I got stung when I bought an Apexi ECU from Japan the other year, had to pay £70 customs

 

I wouldnt mind £70 quid mate or even double that right now!!

Robbing f*ckwits!!
