the tin worm is still there mate it will come back in a few months .get a new front panel put on then you wont have to worry bout rust for a few years

agree dave, will be better long term mate!

[Dave_B]

yeah i just wanted to hold it back a little.

a new front end is on the cards: slam panel, front valence, 2 new wings and scuttle panel and bonnet all sprayed in,

but just cant justify the cash on it at the moment.

it will be looked after though.

Looking clean and tidy considering it's winter

Do you use it as an every day car ?

[RS rob]

good update, its a shame new alternators never stay that clean for long

nah i barely use it at all got a MR2 as a runaround and use this on my days off and on a saturday night if im going out for a drive.

i used to use it as an everyday car. only done 16000 miles in 4 years and 8000 were in the first year of ownership!

yeah the alternator that came off was black and covered in oil!!

[Smiffy1203]

[Minstral]

looking goo Dave, look forward to seeing it again at Bluewater

[MarkRS2K]

forgot you had blue hoses- must have been that dirty!

[andymcd]

love your car mate
u wouldnt tell me whats needed for omex rev limiter and launch control? would be very great full

[Dave_B]

well after thinking that id solved the problems, the rs let my g/frind down at the weekend.

so after a bit more investigating today, the rs works for good (hopefully) and got a few more bits on order.

but i thought as it was working id treat it to a good clean.





even the pigs appreciate it!

[Max M4X WW]

Looks perfect but really don't like ambers on red!

[ace1001ace]

looks cool, I think the ambers look sweet, maybe spray the reverse clear panel red so both rear euros look the same?

I left mine back in Croydon until all the road salt has washed away and I get its MOT done in March! Will try and go to Surry RSOC over Easter and try my best to go to FITP! See you around!

[M1K3Y_B]

Wish my car was that clean

[- Danny Boy -]

Looks well nice

[EUFez]

Very clean and smart. Random pic with coppers in though.

[bj]

pure red sex mate!!!!!!

[Dave_B]

right not long after the last pictures were taken the motor started bellowing out white smoke, which upon further inspection it was concluded my old turbo had finally given up the ghost.

now i have had the new turbo delivered and fitted it up on saturday!! had the car out a couple of times since, and it is perfect again!

cant wait for some more good weather now! heres the turbo anyway!





dave

[Max M4X WW]

Finally! Looks a bit small though Will have to meet up somewhen

[filtra]

Great news! I wouldn't mind a passenger ride

What spec is the turbo?

[FRSJON]

great pics of the car mate...

[Dave_B]

been a while, but in recent weeks i have found a new enthusiasm for the rs, FITP, classic ford day at the pod and the mot has helped me get back in the mood,

put the multispokes back on it just for a change and put the rear lights back to uk spec for the mot.

chucked it in and hey presto it passed, not bad for a 18 year old motor that i only checked the lights on! only advisory was the front wheels are balding on the inside edge!!

cant decide whether i like the multispokes or the comps more, but cant wait til next week as im off to TOTD for more boost!!!

dave

[Max M4X WW]

Good stuff, Didn't notice the wheels Sunday but that's probably because I've seen your car with those on most anyway!

Your fault, you buggered off then the weather got better!

[Luke2008]

Lovely car mate, I really like it.

[Ram]

driving out the m.o.t station with a fresh ticket is always a great feeling

getting mine set up this tuesday, as long as all goes well will be running up the strip at classic ford. we'll have to line up for one

[MarkRS2K]

so you hoping to hit the 200 mark then

[M1K3Y_B]

Nice one on the pass Dave

[Dave_B]

so you hoping to hit the 200 mark then

trying to get back to what it was yeah mark! since ive had the new turbo it isnt boosting to the same limit, at least ive still got mine!


dunno if im going to make classic ford yet, still trying to get cover at work but will do all i can!!!

just love the feel of a turbo!!!
dave

[MarkRS2K]

harsh man

[Dave_B]

went to TOTD this morning and i can safely say what a top bunch of guys, would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a tuner.
Chris Todd is a great bloke to talk to and knows his stuff.

anyway i went to get the boost raised and see what outputs it had. struggled with the boost as my chip has a preset boost limit so im running 16psi which is as high as i can and the car does feel more responsive and stronger for it.

now the output.

188.2 with 180 lbs/ft. not bad for a t2! this i think is the limit for now without some major changes which im not planning for now. for the little i use the car that is plenty!



dave

[dontpannic]

Nice result!

[fiend]

They did the run in 3rd gear?

[rsonblackwheels]

thats really good for a T2

gr8 blokes at TOTD

[ace1001ace]

Sweet! Looking good! Hopefully see it over summer when im back from Uni! Got to start restoring the underside of mine when I get home!

[MarkRS2K]

glad it went ok

[SEG1]
