Hello! Finally got some piccies of a couple of the components for my latest project, namely this car (excuse the hideous wheels!):

And this turbo:

Although the plan is to transplant the oily bits from Brown into this one in the first instance and then start reworking the turbo system and hopefully build up a fairly low compression (mabey 8.5:1 or so) 2.7 with the help of a nice forged crank :D

Toooooooo many!

Got the Brown into Red conversion to do, the "get Black roadworthy and gone before civil war breaks out at home project" the "get my mate's car that failed it's MOT today roadworthy (the Mi16 this is)" and finally there's the long term "get the GT6 going"

:)

Oh yeah, and also the make uuuuuber twin turbo setup for Red :D
