I could come if ya wanted...

Ross

Yeah go on!

Cheers MW - you are indeed a gentleman & a scholar. May you gain much more horses from your session!

Matt you're just paranoid. The smoking is due to the cold weather. All the other cars are doing it too, just look around

Anyway I hope you all polish your cars beforehand as i might come along just to take pictures

No it was blue smoke, and I've seen pleeeeenty of turbo smoke before so I can tell the difference. It was whistling too, when it was freezing cold. Still is a bit, when it spools. Not perfect but maybe it will hold together for a while longer yet

Whistling isnt totally unusual dude. Mines does it on my 28r.

Ross

maybe it'll be alright then and it just let some oil past the seals when it was literally -9C outside

MattW, if ross doesn't end up making it, then you are welcome to drive my car when I get it back!

Also Taffy has a GT28RS!

That's a very kind offer Mark. However, the downside is that Matt's bank balance may take a hammering after he's drove yours!

It would make a change from it being my bank balance

What kind of power are you hoping for Mark?

really depends what I do with the turbo! I've had months to think about it but still can't make my mind up 100%!

If I stick with the RS, then I'm pretty much at its limit already! I may be able to get to 380bhp at a push! but will have more lower down with the headwork!

If I swap to something like a GT2871R with larger injectors then I should easily be looking at over 400bhp! its just the issue with mapping the injectors that I'm concerned about!

Thanks Mark, very kind offer, maybe it would be better for me to ride as a passenger rather than drive, so you/ross/taffy can push it to a limit you are comfortable with, I wouldnt want to feel like I was 'ragging' someone elses car...

Having recently been a passenger in Ross's beast, I can confirm that it's a very, very nice (if slightly scary) experience.

Ill bring my Code reader with me just to make sure no one has any issues before going on the RR

Matt,Ill take you for a spin in my car if you want

Sounds good taffy... after you come off the rollers? If so I'll be there by around 10.

Thanks

Before or after,Ill be there most of the day

Excellent idea.

I was on the rollers in January and the injector light came on briefly a few times, but has never come on on the road. Maybe the error code that caused it will still be there...

nice one fella

shame I'm working i would've come to this, but i've got a crack in my manifold too plus other niggly things to sort first, next time!!!!!
would've been nice to go back to neston too as my nan is from there and i used to go there on holiday to my uncles!!!

Very interested in this. Can I bag the 1pm spot?

James

Your wish...

Matt, I've also moved you to the 2pm slot.

looking forward to getting mine back on the rollers and seeing

james what time ya thinking of going up?

I wanna attend this, just for the laugh of it

I'll try and confirm after crail

Ross

fine by me. my turbo bearing is definitely starting to fall apart, but as long as it still spins i'll be there. probably down on power again

^^^ Matt, is it really worth it? I doubt they'll run it if it's that bad and you may end up with an undriveable car to get you home.

@ Ross - you're mad mate!

It's not that bad yet, but it will get worse over the next month or two. Just a bit of blue smoke for a couple of minutes on cold start up at the moment, once warmed up it's fine.

that's blue smoke, not condensation

What oil u using matt?

U checked the oil feed to the turbo is ok etc?
