Bit of a follow up now on the turbo as although it’s only been a few days I have spent far to long in the car for my liking. i think it is a great mod and really now feel this is how the car should’ve been from the factory or offered as an upgrade R type model or something. the boost picks up really well and comes on nice and strong, it is so smooth though I would imagine it’s very similar to a supercharger. paired with the super res cat back the exhaust note has really calmed down, Mike thought it was to quiet. But after a disaster at cadwell I was pleased it was running as it was on a late night run across the country. You get the nice induction noise as the turbo starts spoiling and the classic pssst when letting off, I had mine recirculated back into the system and you can still hear this fine inside the car. also had the TD oil cooler fitted and this dropped my temps a good 20-30degress, before long road trips I would sit at 105-110 where as now it seems about 85. At my last track outing my oil got to almost 130degrees and this was at about 2degrees ambient air temp. Yesterday it was at 90-100 or so max

I finally got one and I love it. I would like to add a reverse camera, videos online make it look easy but I can't find a kit for sale in the uk. Is there one?

Happy with the service so wouldn't really bother me. Would just continue to make a day out of any visits. Collection/delivery would come down to cost vs convenience. Any ideas of a location? Need to book in for a service & mot in June so just don't move before then 😂 Which reminds me, did those orange K Sport brakes ever come in? Said you'd let me know but haven't heard anything.

I’m about and hour so away so a little more is no issue. Leaving the car with you for the day and having lunch at Grill Singhs in Warrington is a nice day out so you moving somewhere less interesting to hang around in would make me think twice. If you’re moving Westward that would be nice and I’d be happy to help out as a delivery driver. 😀

Don't think it would influence me too much; the quality of the work is more important, as is the relationship and trust that you've built up. Collection wouldn't work for me as it's my daily driver.

Agreed. I've been thinking about going forced induction for a while and one the downsides of going the TD route is the travelling (well that and the fact I'd like a DIY option but that's a different discussion entirely).

Don't think it'd affect me too much as I think the quality of work you do is worth making the journey Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

Wouldn’t make any odds to me as I already do 41/2 hours so the move might be better for me 👍🏻 collection and delivery would be handy though especially for those bigger jobs

I'm currently over 3 hours from you. That's my limit, if you moved any further away I couldn't make it. Collection/delivery is sadly of no use to me as it's my daily driver.

I'm moving shortly and will be ~10mins away again.... don't move 😂

Collection and delivery would be useful for people like myself, but would depend on if the cost was cheaper than fuel each way and an overnight stop. You thinking of going up north or heading south? Another idea would be what about a drop off and collection from a local hotel?

Way ahead of you there Martin 😁 I've laready got myself a set of quickjacks exactly the same as what you pictured. I'm itching to get them set up and the car up in the air on them! Hopefully next weekend I can do just that. new wheels on, new brakes on, the lot!

SOLD

Last meet up was good-thanks for organising it Mike. This place, south of Huddersfield is on my radar as somewhere I'd like to go some time, but not been yet. http://thecardingshed.co.uk/ Might be an option?

Merry Christmas to me! Just received my wheels and I couldn't be happier with them! They're a set of Work Meister M1 in 18x9.5 on the front and 18x11 on the rear. Struggling to bring myself to put them away in the boxes for now but I haven't really got much else to say about them, I think the pictures speak for themselves really!
