Do i look like i can afford a rogue m'sport 40 point check??? I can't even afford an avatar!
Going to be a month til i can actually afford to spend any money on it, but first will be a decat
(is the cat a big cast iron lump bolted underneath the turbo, or should it be running paralell to the rear silencer
(mate's nasp mk1 and mk2s both have something there, where mine doesn't)), see if that works, then start poking more expensive things.
Don't think the turbo is fked, there is a slight bit of oil coming through
(collecting at the bottom of the IC) but nothing drastic, no blue or white smoke, but there is black
(overfueling) with the taps fully open
(same as a saab turbo apparently
) so not especially excessive and i don't think there's a boost leak.
Still haven't stuck my boost gauge in it, but it reads off the scale of the standard one and even if i hold it down when it's above 6 and not really accelerating the turbo's still whizzing and the boost gauge doesn't drop into the scale range.

I worked out CC this afternoon lol
It already has an eff-off IC no idea what it's from but it seems fairly decent
(judging by it's massiveness and the quality of the welding)
but i was thinking roof mount.

one day
(think RS200)
No reason to suspect anything wrong with the headgasket
(no white smoke or mayo anyway!), no blue smoke so i can only assume the rings are ok, and the engine sounds sweet
(sweeter than my crx even though that had nothing wrong with it!)
Only slight thing perhaps is the coolant makes a boiling sound after i switch it off, i did bleed it but forgot to turn the heaters on
so i'll be doing that again soon! But having just looked at the manual there seems like there should be some air in that pipe
(water level in the reservior tank thingy)
It's noticably faster than the CRX, and that had little trouble keeping up with an evo9 on the lanes going to my old job
(he was pulling away on the straights a little, but i was faster round the bends.

officer) and i'm inclined to think i'll definately crash it if it's any faster, but hey that's the fun part!
