my dimma 5 gt turbo

[cavsri130]

just got her and had a quick look over her, needs a few things but thats what projects are all about eh?



the kit seems to be fitted properly, its all smoothed in, it has a couple inperfecrtions tho. the car aint been on the road with the kit cos the interior is full of dust but the tax disc on the window says 10-99 so its not been used for a while eh?
looking at the brake discs you wouldnt think thay havent been used for 7years!! may have been stored in a garage tho

now speaking of interior, an ali g fanatic must of attacked it!

some bits are yellow inside, the whole car before the kit went on must have been painted in beniton colours, blue and yellow!

now i was told the engine needed work, a bottom end the guy said, it has no rocker cover or top boost pipe

i connected up a booster pack and after a few winds over it started. didnt sound to have a bottom end knock but i only had it runnin for a moment, didint want to make to much mess of oil.

so what do you all think of her?

[cavsri130]

oh and one of my wifes clio that i have to use as a daily runner!


i leave the 'L' plate on all te time so people will know its not my car

[cavsri130]

[RickGTT]

my bad :oops: but wot she needs is a nice pair of pink fluffy dice and one of thoose badges that say 'princess on board' :lol:

[cavsri130]

she has the dice but i refuse to let her hang them up if i have to drive the car. got her a bodykit and it gettig painted the now.

i got a rocker cover yesturday from a guy who had a camus look a like. he handed me a set of brand new red dot 20 groove discs for a turbo for nothing.......SCORE!  

will get a gasket on monday and take it for a tender drive up my street. you think the neighbours would mind??

[cavsri130]

Got it running, didnt take it for a drive tho,

bottom end knocking
top end chatering
air and pressure in the cooling system
wont idle
turbo blowing oil in to intercooler pipe
more than enough play in the turbo shaft!
