For anybody who's been following my Project thread and has been wondering why my last post was a whole year ago, with a cryptic message about "big expensive plans": Well, er, long story. One for another time!

Normally I don't post up about what I'm doing until I've done it. But yesterday I was so chuffed at having a rare 5 minutes where my car wasn't in pieces, or I wasn't working on my car, or I wasn't working on a customer's car while my car was in pieces - Or all three simultaneously, that I just had to drag my wife out to do film a quick couple of runs in the Coupe (her's is the very unimpressed voice in video 1!). Get some good speakers and turn them up!:

Instant wheelspin and rev-limiter backfire made me think I'd done a mischief crazy

Anyway, there's still a long way to go with this project. Who knows, one day it might actually get completed. One day. Maybe. rolleyes

Sweet!

It looks like it needs at least 4000rpm to come on boost? Is that a T3/4 with a .64 turbine?

Maybe something to do with Imageshack? I did post them on Youtube but removed them because the Youtube upload messed up the sound. Try the links on a PC.
