No, I haven't arranged a fixed price.
I was talking with Charlesworth about them lending me a car while they have mine. Not sure if they're going to be able to yet, but I certainly hope so !

looks like youve really gone for quality parts and have thought the whole project throw.
so whens it all gonna be up and running ?
and what kind of power figure will you eventually get ?

Thanks, currently waiting for an adaptor to be made up between turbo and manifold, then I think my car will pretty much be ready to go in and test-fit the new internals etc.
I am aiming for around 260 bhp, I'm not chasing a high figure on that, I could easily go for more but I'm concerned with driveability and reliability rather than bhp.

very nice mate, can not wait to see pic,s :thumbup1:

260? With forged you should be at least 300BHP and still get the reliability????

2tongues 260? With forged you should be at least 300BHP and still get the reliability????
You're probably right in that I'm using upgraded internals, yes. But bear in mind my other aim of driveability. I don't want to aim for, say, 300 bhp if that compromises driveability lower down.
I'd rather have 260 bhp and lots of go lower down, rather than, say, 300 bhp with it taking a while to pick up.
However, if I can get both (driveability down the rev range and high end bhp) then that'd be a bonus ! :biggrin:

it's possible if you think of sam's is pushing near enough 300 and his picks up at 3,300 iirc?
