Just shortened the turbo ducting. - Page 2

Jun 2nd, 2002, 19:59

Well, after a rather disturbing test session at the dragway Ive decided to ease up on the 850. I ran a 15.7 with 3/4 throttle approx. my first run the turbo ducting blew off the top of the intercooler-thoroughly frightening me. I feel Im asking too much of the car...although I should be able to floor the thing without it breaking...

Servo,

I once blew a hole in my top hose. it put the wind up me I have to say but it was old and needed replacing. that said: I keep upping the power and bits keep breaking, could be a theme...

just put new brakes, gearbox, air con, filters, timing belt, tranni oil, tyres, and fuel in mine. Gonna keep the thing in an oxegen tent next to Mike Jackson and Bubbles!

But seriously, I like the turbo game but I am getting another "summer/occasional car" to take some of the strain off the T5. Lotus 7 seems to be favourite if I can bring myself to pay my hard earned for some spanners science project...

Right you are Wardrobe man!

RObin hoods or TVR S are current flavour of the MOnth. and as this month will be the one I should think we've narrowed it down!

Ps. It the MX5 not the 3. Shyster! even I would not stoop so low.
