Well done.

Getting frustrated that everyone is getting their cars on the road at the moment.

Looks like I'll be a month or 2 yet!!!!

Hi Craig.

Yeah boost will be up soon. Once the plates are on and no speed humps in the way, can have a play to get the boost right.

Still not putting the tools away yet though.

Plenty of jobs to do. One being changing the front springs.

Plan of action hopefully. Drive to get about 1500 miles on the clock before September. Change oils.

Trax 2007 beginning of September and Donny middle.:)

Well, done. I need to take some time off work to get mine moving a bit quicker. I think I must have the record for the longest build !

Well done! All these SVA'd cars are very motivating!

What's the turbo on the t-series, and how hard can it blow at the upper end of the engine rev range, without being inefficient?

Cheers mate.

Only a T25 on as so 250 BHP I think tops. But with the GTIR T28 300 +. But then your looking at forged internals etc. I already have another project in mind for my next 5EXI build. Punishment or what!

Looking at a tow bar on the 5EXI to tow a trailer for the tools for the next project. What do you guys think?:shocked:

Congratulations! Motivating is definitely the right word. I've signed up for the Marlin Open day September 22nd so I have a bit of a stretching target. In fact, why am I sitting here? Back out into the rain I guess :-(
