Track day corsa turbo build

[leesturbo]

Oh 1.6 is a little higher than I thought you were on, thought it was 1.4 for some reason, so not such a big difference between you and rob then if it was 1.6 as his only normally goes to 1.9, but you did have your intercooler with built in WRC restrictor to cap the airflow so that gave yours a reliability advantage lmao

lmao

[AL]

Lee's Cav was awesome, why he sold it for some shonky jap crap is beyond me lmao

Jay is 100 steps ahead of where you all think he is at the moment and its only the people that have been there and seen it that understand a tenth of where he is. Even they/we dont really know how much he rasps out every week for creamers. For instance Nortech does far more for most zorst places in the UK than people realize...

Yup, and thats what 99.9% of the internet just don't know about lmao

Come on Jav, give is your valuable input

[leesturbo]

i said that to rob earlier if he's got summat else thats paying the bills well
then he's not going to focus attention to this "sideline" as it now appears to be.
all well and good him wanting to keep control of everything but clearly not good
business sense for his company/customers

i might knock summat else together soon having found new parts/methods that should work very well for the outlay.
dam i just did a locked box for someone that was so easy to do it was untrue.
i have a idea of how/where to fit a brace to the txb to help it stay together
only looking around the 380bhp mark anyway so not massive go but just nice.

Has your aim got better since you were aiming for 400? lmao

Project now ended. A general realization that i am will be unfortunately unable to get enough time to use the car once its done and its just a expensive statue that would lay in the garage for roughly 360 days a year. I cannot justify using leave to do track days and rwyb days. All bits for sale, any interest in parts not yet listed please pm me.

Chop you other car in for an S3 and be happy mate.....we are not going to laugh at you if you actually did show up in it at a track day!

That took slightly longer than I expected, I thought it would be broke a few months ago, so fair play for holding out a bit longer than predicted lmao

Yes and this time he will really mean it, yawn lmao

Sweepstake on what it will be?

Fiver in the pot and winner takes all?

Im going to go for corsa c

[The Simps]

Won't be vaux.

[sbd16vastra]

Im going to go for corsa c

i think he will skip the c and go straight in with a D

or back to a nova

Fair plays Rick.

It takes courage of your convictions to decide enough is enough, especially when your peers haven't sunk as much time/money into what is still esentially a crap shopping car, as you have.

I'm in two minds and mine is nothing compared to yours but if I am being honest it was the car I wanted 5 years ago. Times move on, so does a persons perception. There is more to life than crappy Vauxhalls.

Are you on about his nova, or this corsa, or the next one?

TBH Wayne i should have chopped it all in when i broke the nova. But i thought "o lets give the LET one more chance".

The more i look at it the less i want to be out in a corsa so i would only use it for track days which would only probably be 5 days a year at most and thats work permitting. If i was in my old job i would keep the car, i was at home every night and got chance to do what i wanted when i wanted. Now i have to cram everything into 2-4 days off after a trip.
