got a Hose on order fom sameco

So until that arrives in 2006......

I really can't be bothered with non-fitting hoses and snapped exhaust studs, so a fobbed if of to Marc from 'the garage' in wishaw. He's got the car just now and reckons he can sort something out with it, will tell you when I get it back.

BTW now that i'm getting the GEMS in a few day's there's no way i'll be able to get the center diff of you (if your don't get it sold that is).

Dave

Question

What kind of turbo is it that you are fitting? was in today collecting the RX-7 and it looked to be a little on the large side

Roll on summer, second gear is of no use at all on damp roads

TD05/06, It's on now. Delighted! Drives not to far away from the TD04 (have to wait till about 2800 till anything happens though). Barely any more lag spooling from cruise, and unbeleveably better through the gears!

Will post pics in new thread. Be warned though, they may be quite big.

Cheers to Marc at the garage for sticking in the extra hours to get this done.
