Re: Replacing Rev 4 airbag wheel with aftermarket and MOT?

No, it's not a UK car by the looks of it. Has import plate etc.

Replacing Rev 4 airbag wheel with aftermarket and MOT?

Can you just put it back on at MOT time, as I presume removal would be a failure? Seen a car that could be a potential base for a turbo conversion but obviously it has the airbags. Also for a car that will go on track, I guess you'd have to pull a fuse for said airbags to disable the one in the dash...

Do insurers charge more for NA to Turbo conversions anymore?

As opposed to factory turbo cars I mean. Once they are modified etc. surely it's all much the same, so is there any real downside to using an NA as a project base if a suitable turbo can't be found? I have been talking to a couple of people about turbo shells but haven't made much progress on them y...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] What BBK's are people using these days?

Nope, just making plans :D I might yet buy RedMR2's old shell if I can get some photos of it and go see it. Waiting on Peter getting back to me on that. Stuck at the minute over starting again with a bare shell, waiting til my BMW has sold and buying a complete running car, or finding something with...

Cheers, I saw that thread when searching before I posted.

I don't want to mess with the balance, so if the WMS kit manages to avoid this, I'll take a look at it.

[Mk2] [Turbo] What BBK's are people using these days?

Is there a general consensus on what to use for an occasional track blaster?

Any links to bits needed like brackets etc.?

Don't fancy any expensive kits, more the few hundred quid DIY type stuff.

Re: Rogue rev6 front bumper

Just for my own info, do these have the exact same profile as a Border, i.e. the way they stick out slightly at the bottom of the arch? I always find it tough to find skirts that go with them other than Border, which I don't really like, but the bumpers themselves look so good!
