The full story will be interesting, took you a bit less time than it's taken me to do mine!

I assume it goes quite well?

whats the difference in the turbo, and also is there a build thread of the engine

Sean was the guinea-pig on this turbo,its a Garrett but slightly different on the turbines and porting.
Internally wastegated with no issues at all even at 1.8 bar.
Very smooth,will even get the power down in 2nd at 1.8bar

The engines are Built by Barbz so there his secret.

Full story is i was all ways in to rx7s skylines etc but they was getting expensive to have a fast reilable one which i think they do?? So john rang me up and said he was a t donnington. So i went out in johns Le at donnington early last year and that was it i had to get a fast coupe. So john told me what was what and what to have so he got me i touch with barbzs and the next week i had got his bros coupe which is a cracking coupe. Then john took me out in his coupe with the barbzs 483bhp 2.0l engine and that was it i wanted a 500bhp coupe. So after alot a phone calls to barbzs and john we said that we would get a 2.0l built for me this later this year. But then a saved faster and told john 3weeks before spa that i want a plus or a black Le with the aim of 500bhp to take spa. So the first time in best part of ten years of me knowing john he went quite and said right leave it with me all ill keep you informed.

Barbzs and john are top blokes in there work. There aim is to give the customer what he wants and make sure they are happy with what they have spent there hard saved cash on.

The le is soild but needs abit of tlc on the body but its prefect for me at the minute. Its a sleeper.

John you went past the call of duty for me and past your working hours to get me to spa.

Barbzs what can i say but your engines are worlds apart from antything else out there on the market.
May be see you next year for a 2.4/2.5????

Ill keep it short but am that happy the coupe. I can not beleive how many supercars a S reg fait coupe could bet mind blowning!!!!

Well what can i say but a BIG massive thank to you john at midland car services for finding my le and for doing everything from cv joints to full on gaz coilovers etc.... and a BIG hand shake to the legend him self barbzs at torque italia for a stroming 2.0l engine which is mind blowing and still good on fuel. A big thank you to flea for doing a full on stage 6 map in short notice as every thing was last minute.

A massive thank to the forum you people are great and spa was amazing. To all of you i meet you are a brill bunch of car nutters and to the people i didnt meet theres more meets this year.

I forgot final power run will be done soon and will be posted asap. Ran out of time before spa.

You're a great bloke too Shaun and was a pleasure to meet you and be around you

Nice to meet you as well T same you and proccy didn't get on better as I know how he feels about you. We all could see the tension there lol.

Did he tell you that he likes you??????

Wow, impressive turn around there chaps, nice work! So is that the norm then 500bhp in 3 weeks?!

Haha,no.
A one off.

Well you just have to talk nicely to him a always take him biscuits when you go lol.

If the names dugong, lard, chunk, miserable cow, welsh bitch etc, etc are his pet names for me, then I'd hate for us to have an argument





Must be like a trip to the zoo

Lol he just likes you to much. Or is he talking dirty to you???

As for John it is like going the zoo you need to feed this monkey to keep him focused.

Stop stirring it wingnut, and don't feed the animals

Am not stirring proccy we all seen it.

I know it cost me alot in biscuit before we went lol.

proccy only likes me because I can change his wheels, work on and look after his car better than he can

Proccy doesnt like anyone dogong.

Good to see you're happy with the car dude.
