Hopefully my LE 119 will soon be keeping up with Matts coupe when i get round to redoing its internals,and getting it over to Leighton.
I will be well happy if it pulls like yours does.
LE 1143 is possessed.I was actually a little scared.

And it lives again.

Excellent News Matt!!

Yes, excellent news

Hi guys!! You really have got to give john a big high five!! Because i got my car back from him on friday,after haveing a full service,slave cylinder,and a new thermostate.And i have got to say the car was great before,but feels even better now thanks to john!! He really does know is stuff and is a fantastic bloke...!! I am sorry to say that i saw matts car in a sorry looking state on one ramp and he had another forum members coupe on the other ramp!! He told me when i was there that he had to get both of these cars done and was set to work straight through the night into saturday morning,saying to me that he would just grab a couple of hours in the office if he needed it!!!

Now come on thats dedication if i ever saw it,plus that is not the first time he as told me he has had to work through the night!! I am glad matt that your car is now up and running again mate you took it to the right bloke thats for sure!!!!

james...

Great stuff Matt - I reckon this will be the Coupe to beat at Spa next year, excepting Sparcos beast of course.

Cheers Mike, don't forget that Leighton is there too though! And there were some bloody quick french cars there as well last year.

I'm picking the car up on Thursday, and going down to flea to check the map and rolling road it.

In the mean time John is fitting the uprated pulley. He has also welded up a crack in the manifold and replaced a leaking coolant hose.
He has done a really thorough job, and thoroughly tested every thing. Everything that was knackered has been repaired so hopefully it will be mechanically pretty good.

Nice one, good to hear! Where did you get the uprated pully from?

Cheers Johna, I got the pulley from jonnybravoturbo, see the group buy section

Be interesting to see you RR results.....

Just when you think everything is going ok, life comes back and kicks you in the !

Just had a phone call from John, and the turbo is making an alarming noise. Sounds like the blades are hitting the housing.

With it being a ball bearing turbo, it is not simply a case of a refurb. It will need a brand new core which aint cheap.

I've just spent a frickin fortune on this car, i feel like blowing it up.

Really can't afford it, if i hadn't just paid for a new engine, i think i would scrap it. AHHHH

ah that's sh1tty mate, very sorry to hear that - was hoping to see a post about how great it was running

Anyone wanna buy LE 1143!?

Nightmare Matt! Buy the 3076 that Marco has for sale! Hope you get it sorted!

If you can move the steering wheel to the other side I'll have it.

, aint it!

See if we can get a discount for buying 2 turbos at the same time technics!?

sorry to hear about that Matt - ATP turbo will certainly give you good prices.

ATP are in America aren't they? i was hoping for a really quick turn around. They quote something like 1160 dollars

I've had a quote for a GT28RS . 86 of £800. Cheapest i've found so far is from http://www.wholesale-turbos-direct.com/

yes, they are.

Yeah, im up for that. Worth a try. Pref an RSR, otherwise ill settle for an RS. Not sure what housing would be best for me, .64 or .86? Just to let you know i have got one or two people on the case for me too, keep in touch.

Technics, i'm after a RS .86 or i'd be happy with a RSR . Let me know if you find any bargains

I need a gt 30 rsr as well so i will be up for a discount for 2 Matt if you can sort that.
And the least i can do is fit it for free chap.

Shouldnt that be 3 then JBT.....

Why dont we just try and start a Group Buy on GT Series turbos, there was one a while back, look on page 4 of the GB, it was sorted by a chap called Grant.
There is already 3 of us here without even trying, even if we can just get 1 more person involved I think we can start driving the price down slightly.

Thing is Xmas time isnt the best, but im still going to try and ring a few suppliers over the next couple of days, see what they can do and if they can leave it open till end of Jan or even Feb, just to give time for more people to get involved.

What do you think guys?

Sounds good technics but i need mine as soon as humanly possible. I'll try contact a few places too

Still, if someone can do it from now and end it in a couple of months, you can still order it asap, but also it will be open to others for some time after aswell.

Could even have a quick count up of who would want and can afford one by the end of Jan or Feb, if we can get 5,6 or 8 then the price will go down further, we hope, but you can still order your right away.
Ive got to be honest, ill be looking at Jan, unfortunately.

Maurizio.

Well im in no rush for mine.
What sort of discount we looking for a gb then.
I have been quoted 790+vat from Mark at cr turbos.
Thats for a 3071r,

As much as poss, but still working on it.

God matt I feel so sorry for you....

You have pm!

do your best chap.
Like i say im in no rush as im waiting for Fleas stage 2 head in the new year.
FOllowed by a rebuild of the bottom end so wont be until march april that im due.But dont mind having one before.

Cool, im looking around Jan, maybe even Feb.
Fingers crossed.
