Garrett GT28RS roller bearing turbo, would be a good choice on a non forged engine
You’ll have to adapt the down pipe due to flange fitment, probably worth fitting different injectors. I have Vauxhall VXR injectors in mine, and get it fleamapped by Leighton Wilson down at castle Combe
You’ll then have a car with a much better power and torque curve

Hi all, There’s a car show at Wollaton Park this coming Sunday 7th June.
Wollaton Park, NG8 2AE Nottingham, less than 15 minutes from J25 off the M1
I’ll be there in my coupe from around 9am. It’s a decent event with a wide variety of cars to see.
Cheers Jamie

Wow - sounds a bit technical. Didn't know anything about tethering etc  The electrician came over yesterday and thinks he can lead the cable through our ceiling joists in the hallway to the front of the house as our junction box is in the centre of the house under the stairs which is fairly typical. Including box and fitting has come in at £650 which is far less than we anticipated. If we end up going with Skoda then they offer £500 towards a new box or alternatively a £500 charging voucher which is tempting.

Hey guys, I got started on her yesterday by removing all of the interior and boot lining, centre console is sticky and i was wearing my nice pair of blue jeans (no more  ) carpet and seats look good so ima keep them. a little bit of rust in the boot by the fuel tank and driver side passenger seatbelt mount There are layers of what i assume soundproofing dotted about it has turned brittle though so it snaps off rust in the arches of the wheel wells (expected and the zinc behind the centre console is corroded)

I don't think you've much risk of galling as the joints are fairly static once tight and the torque isn't high from memory so I think having it clean is most important. What may be good though is to seal the other side (and I can't remember which ones are blind or not). A dab of thick grease or a touch of wax oil maybe?

Last time I checked- he did take them on- although his website is now BMW M cars mainly.
But Rog used to have a soft spot for a Coupe and I think a few local members close to him have mentioned in the past he has done work for them.
Its worth a phone call if you live close by.

MM

Hi Michael, welcome to the forum, do you mean Hopetoun? I moved your post here where it's more appropriate, however you might like to give a bit more detail, or post photos  If you haven't already found it you might find the Buying Advice forum useful....

Hats off to you for taking on this project - there looks to be quite a bit to start on in all areas.
But these cars are rare to see now - and hats off to you for taking in the challenge to turn this one around and safe it.
Looking forward to hearing how you are fairing with the project and wishing to well as you start in on her!
Regards
MM

I switch off most devises so I can actually get work done otherwise I'm just a free advice service. Highly understandable. (you could do a paid advice hotline, you know - work the phone all day from home, wearing a small red negligee or something..)  Set up a chargeable number. Many do it and to some who get spam calls it's worth a couple of K a year.

The show season has started so get creative with some photos of your coops!
Landscape please if possible; there are plenty of 'regular' pics of coops out there so good composition and style are welcome!

Hi Paul,
Thanks!
Yes, I also have the one from Cybox and on long journeys it's very boomy. I'm looking into fitting the ragazzon because of the second silencer they have, but they are also very expensive.
