-

Rare sunny shot:

Lovely shot sun makes all the difference!
-
haha yea gotta make the most of it!
So I appear to have a B3S7 flywheel (same as 1.3 festiva?)
Today's work in a few photos!
My view for a fair bit of today:
Hours of work for this lol:
Not helped by A LOT of this:
So that's the horrible oil return job done. Alignment to the turbo drain is brilliant. Next step intercooler piping!
Oh yea and on Friday I also sorted out this disgusting sight:
And made this fit the B5 setup:
-
Good sumpage there! Nice big finned alu affair.. Nice work on that union too.. Funny I have just finished making up sump no.3 with a proper welded spigot this time too :D
Reckon you might be boosted before me huh :bigok: :D
-
lol sump #3! I dislike changing sumps, you must be well hardened to it now!
Thanks very much. I had planned to do it with a flat flanged gasketed return but this was far easier and I'm trying to resist getting too anal on this project.
I'm hoping to get boosted for the weekend. It'll be the weather and intercooler setup that will hold me back from that. Hoping to participate in the cruise for cancer on Sunday, boosted.

Nice one! You will be giving that stock clutch the ride of its life eh??!!
-
haha yea clutch will quite likely be toast, but who knows, I've read some 1.6 mx5 guys are ok over 200bhp. The ZE clutch is only 10mm extra diameter… positive thinking :lol:
-
Great job,Marco!!!!!Looking forward to see that big,shiny turbo on :wink:
-
Will be cool for you to find out the headroom on that clutch, good luck Bro hope all goes to plan 8)
-
Not bad for a 1.5 :lol: for whatever reason its only hitting 6psi but that's feeling pretty fun right now :-DMore on this tomorrow!

Scweeettt!! Look forward to more updates :D
-
Awesome! Mad bastard. Should bring it down to Portlaoise to crash the rotary meet Sunday week :-)
-
haha thanks Sam & Jason. This is a fun little car now! I'm still waiting on some pipes to turn up to do the intercooler piping more efficiently/tidy but with this rain that's not going to matter much atm anyway!
Hmm ooor you could come up for the Cruise for Cancer Jason! Carrickfergus to Portrush :D
-
Some pics of the snail in his new house:
Intercooler piping needs tidied, a few temporary measures in place!
-
Very impressive Marco, top job
-
Thanks Gulfy! Now if only it would stop raining for a few hours I could get on with tidying up the bay…

Cruise for Cancer 2013:
-
Great pic man and well done! How did She drive?! 8)
-
Drives awesome! Really loving being boosted again and the power is sweeeeeet! Turbo sounds awesome, though it has fairly quietened down the exhaust. Nice for motorway though. Got 34mpg which is amazing considering the launch control at every photographer and tunnel, the average 30mph crawl up, and er 70 back home.
