Those are holding the fan in place to stop it from catching on anything, the rad is wedged in pretty tight and doesn't move at all the cable ties don't hold it.

Its currently churning out 180bhp and 160 Ib/Ft @ 6 PSI but I will be winding it up to around 8 or 9 once I have got a clutch that will take it!

The paint is faded badly, Some parts have been resprayed and others not. It was built mainly as a track car and not to look too pretty. I might respray it in the future though if I deciede I want it looking nice.

For a track car then tidy, i didn't know you built it for the track, thought it was just a toy for the roads hence my comments on the paint. should be pretty quick then.

It will be used on the roads too but primarly track use.

It is the standard engine yes, however they didn't come with a turbo as standard. Its pretty much a full Gready kit.

They were 130BHP standard and are a 1.6 DOHC 16v.

at least now i know why the rad is mounted the way it is lol.
what was it like fitting a turbo to it and i presume you have upgraded the internals to cope with the extra power.

I would love to but my clutch wont have arrived by then No point running it as it is as I am only on 6 PSI and need to go easy when changing gear!

I have a 6 puck on the way so once thats in I can give it some serious abuse!
