Re: The Green Hornet

I know; and I'm holding you partially responsible :lol:

This is why it's taking soooo long.

Plus I bought a drift car to keep me amused in the meantime...

Re: The Green Hornet

My hand might be forced on that one as it happens. I planned for the car to be road legal but suspect that, due ti the wholesale changes tio the dash, I might need an SVM?? test as well as an MOT. Can't see it passing due to the radii used on the dash :)

Re: The Green Hornet

So it's been a while, but with the sunny weather, I have decided to re-focus on getting this finished. As a holistic refresher, here is where I'm at (pic heavy, sorry for any duplication). Having decided to try and enter the TSS, I needed a roll cage due to my car spec so, I set about stripping the ...

Things have been happening, very slowly, and not very planned.I do the bits that interest me most when I find spare time. I do have some updates, but I need to write them up properly. Watch this space :thumleft:

Re: The Green Hornet

I've done the passenger side and going to do driver tomorrow, but cheers for the offer. Decided to be brave as the fillets aren't structural... First one turned out OK, but my tip got blocked so the wire wasn't feeding smoothly. Got some new tips and the second turned out better. Tuesday or Wednesda...

Re: The Green Hornet

Yes Mike, it's from Ben at Carben Fibre. It's a pretty good fit actually. Need some spacer rubbers as it's only held in the middle by the catch. It also sits a little proud in the corners where it meets the roofline, but nothing major. Ash, you're welcome to come and check it out. I'm off work now u...

Re: The Green Hornet

This project has still been bubbling away and I'm making progress in many areas, but nothing that can be put into a decent post, Ash has the monopoly on build threads and I can't hold a candle to the updates he provides :mrgreen: So there are many things in the pipeline, but I do have a picture of a...

Re: The Green Hornet

So I realise it has been a good while (7 months) since the last post on here, so I'm sure there is much to report....... ......not really. I have not given up however; rather, I have been squirrelling parts away, and gathering information ready for this winter. Projects for the Winter include: F1 st...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Manifold bolts

Personally, I got mine from Toyota. Easiest option in terms of 'no surprises' when it comes to fitting.

Will do mate. Will be a couple of weeks I reckon. Would it help if I get the metal plates cut to shape before you come?

Re: Ashley

Yes, likewise Mike :)

I'm well chuffed with it, though we ran out of time to do the cosmetic part.

I'll be in touch with you at some point to pick your brains on that other piece of work we discussed :thumleft:

Not a trader I know, but needs a shout for being a top bloke!! Gave up his Thursday to help me fit a roll cage into my car (though I think it would be more accurate to say that I helped him as he did most the work!!). Thanks very much Ash, got me back on track to have a finished car one day, althoug...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Rev 2 / Rev 3 Block Comparison - Pics inside - need Rev 3 Turbo Block Pic!

I don't have a pic, but I did fit a rev 3 head onto a rev 2 block once, and I just didn't bother with any inlet manifold supports.

Don't know if that helps at all, but seeing as no-one has answered you since January... it might be better than nothing :)

BFT FTW!!

Seriously though, polybushes, ARBs & Coilovers make the car more fun, without needing the Big F%$koff Turbo.

Re: Steering rack

Pretty sure NA and turbo racks are the same, but power steering and non-power steering are different.
