as you guess by the title, i finally got the call from the garage to come and pick my car up as it was finished! ive just had the first drive...and what a beast ! my hands are still shaking as i type this! my mate tried to keep up in his civic type r but didnt have a chance, he said there was flames coming out the exhaust as i changed gear at high speed, and the noise is unbeleivable! once ive had a chance to tidy it up ill post some pics

hi folks ,just back after another blast! the engine has already been run in as it came from my last car,which was written off,and had just been rebuilt to a higher spec before that crash, new ported and polished cylinder head,low compression pistons,wrc spec 3 layer stainless steel headgasket,stage 2 turbo,and dark green injectors. as i supplied everything right down to the ecu and loom ,he charged me Ԛ£2600 for labour only. theres a couple of niggles...the 2 cooling fans dont seem to be turning off and im about to disconnect the battery ,and the heater in the car doesnt seem to be working either so ill have to look at that tomorrow also, ill take some photos at the weekend when my mate can show me how to host them ,as im a joiner and just learning about this computer lark!

it should be sorted by next week-minor inconvenience! first things first though...tomorrow im taking it in to change the turbo. im swapping the t3 for a bigger t34 turbo, which has uprated internals and is capable of running more than 400bhp, ill be a bit easier on the fun peddle though after my little bash

all the parts are painted and ready to go on after my little mishap, just need to find the time. got the car back on saturday morning with the new stage 3 t34 turbo. its capable of running 440 bhp but as yet ive not fitted the blue injectors and chip needed to take me a bit closer to this as im now skint. the turbo cost me the best part of a thousand quid! need to do a bit more overtime! it runs much better now as the old turbo was running at its limit and this ones not even being pushed yet, but ill probably have to wait till after christmas now.i need to get the body fixed as ive been asked to bring my bmw to a passionford meet this sunday. i dont imagine there will be many bmw's there!

What size exhaust housing is on the T34 you are planning to use that can get to 440bhp?
Biggest ive seen is a .63 and those can only cope with about 400.
Car sounds awesome, as above, need pics!
