100 miles later and the tyremould flashings are still there look ! the dry road hard cornering has suffered a bit, (i guess its those chunky teeth around the edge)come on guy,s, this thread is boring without pics
WDIDT ? fitted, balanced and tested the winter tyres
gonna fit the front tyres to the wider rims at a later date, then swap front to rear
but the straighline forward traction grip levels in todays heavy rain were amazing ! (so far) its like having a helical lsd
and there is a slight "landrover" whine/tyre-roar @ 70 mph, but its only audible with the drivers window down

I'm not a fan of having just one set, its all or none for me. Looking for some deeper 14's so there will be 0 gap once I'm finished. Nearly went for a set of 15x9/15x10.. But thought that was a tad too extreme
pink licence came, only a week and 2 days and i can get insured!
Started mocking up some potential side skirts from the spares I have left from old cars..

Have you thought about opening up your grille? Think it would suit yours very well
Yeah I have mate, its on the list- but I've got an idea I haven't seen done before, so am sourcing the right parts for that

Well it does sit very low. But I can't actually see any bad reason with that. I'm deffo going to have to move the rad forward. But the turbo seems to clear everything else and is above the sump

More height doesn't mean more gravity though (if you want to get REALLY pedantic it means less lol), so I don't see how that becomes an issue?

Doesn't the oil pump help with the return though? I can't imagine the oil pressure drops to zero the moment the oil reaches the turbo bearings?not applicable to a fluid siphon tho andy

That's kinda what I was thinking? But you never know?
And its going in my beaten up k11 to start off with and then I'll decide. The high comp 1.3 was meant for the K10

Is that with the 2mm restrictor from the grub screw in the head? Because from what i saw that gave WAY more than a tricklemine,s just a trickle (tho my feed is restricted) ideally you need a 45deg drop iirc

the ball bearing turbo,s are supposed to run a 1mm restrictor eh, but i,ve been running even less flow than that for the last few months
my priority is biased towards the engine oil supply, turbo,s cost me £40, and take a few minutes to change, this current GTO turbo was checked for shaft play last week, and there was none at all

Well I have all my dash lights hazards etc working, new fuel pump primed nicely. Slight whiff of petrol (feed is currently just blocked with a screw driver insert and was damp) guessing it came from there. I had a slight hiccup with a relay I had forgotten to remove, hazards flash and rear wiper would move an inch...
