As your talking about men of a shirt lifting persuasion. I was surprised to see a young man with a toilet brush well & truly stuck in his sphincter. As he left the the van & waddled down the A&E the normally drunken & loud waiting area went deathly quiet. Then burst in laughter as you could see the brush part sticking out from under his blanket.

FPMSL that's so wrong

I have been watching a young doctors programme on BBC3. There was a bloke with the same scenario on there a couple of weeks back. The bloke was wheeled in laying on his side with the brush sticking out from under the sheet that was covering him

His excuse was priceless, along the lines of ...... " I have just moved into a new flat, I got out of bed at 3 in the morning and went to the bathroom, I slipped on some water on the tiled floor and landed on top of the brush"

Mmmmmmmm I think think not you freak

The worst thing about it was, that it had got caught up in his bowel as it had a hook on the end of it

Big op required to remove it

Nige...i'm sure you could write a book on what you've seen at work!

Back to my thead though.....

Saw Brent today and my inner wing filter is very dirty so will try and clean or get a new one....he did remind me that the aps kit is good for 700hp so one step at a time.
He's also going to sort the slight oil leak where the remote filter is and a few other tweaks this thursday...re rout a couple of bits as well.

Bless him he sorted a boost pipe off my intercooler as well today, this blew off whilst overtaking someone.....crapped my pants I did!

Come on you didn't know either did you?

Mind you i thought STI was a disease oh! It is as everyone has one now

SpecB · #**267** 06-04-2011, 06:49 AM

Not sure if I'd believe the APS figures, remember the SR40 is a 440BHP turbo!

Not by a lot though

'I'd like to see a 700bhp scoob running a CAIK'

(supposedly but yes dont believe either)

Hongkongfooi · #**270** 25-04-2011, 08:35 PM

for those not at last weeks meet I have added a small piece on the front....2nd hand wr1 grille, I was a bit in two minds whether I would like it but thankfully I do, and is relatively easy release so can spray black when needed and it saves the cooler getting punctured.

oh and Brent did a fantastic job of sorting out an oil leak from the remote filter which didn't have a stat on and relocated back to original place. He's also repaired my front splitter and relocated some braided lines which might have fouled against the sump, adding heatshrink around the new hose....top bloke that man!

#**271** 25-04-2011, 08:40 PM

Like the look of that Tim, very cool

#**272** 26-04-2011, 06:56 AM

Nice one Tim, should stop the stone's from doing dammage.

tbtstt · #**273** 26-04-2011, 08:42 AM

Nice little touch, I (personally) think those front grills look much better in black.

AndyWRX · #**274** 26-04-2011, 06:43 PM

Looks good mate, think the front grills suit the car more in black looks abit more subtle

Scooby_Greg · #**275** 26-04-2011, 07:20 PM

Looks great Tim

SpecB · #**276** 26-04-2011, 07:59 PM

Hoping Brent can do the same for mine when he has it to fit the engine mounts!

due to the problems with the site thought I would update this with the last years updates

March 2012 car went into garage to sort an oil leak....to cut a long story short due to the way it was built in 2011 it was stripped down and sent to Paul Finch motorsport to correct, whilst there problems were found with the wrong compression ratio, 3 valves were bent and a grit loike substance was found in the sump which had caused scoring at the top of the bores hence the strip down. also all four cams were either worn or incorrect, luckily just a rebore was needed with fresh gaskets/cam belt etc along with new cams, valves replaced and the engine put back in.
it was at this point I decided to change the turbo and bought Angers gt30.

Obviously with this was needed a rotated kit from RCM with a big inlet hose and filter, an external wastegate fitted from lateral and the intercooler pipes to the aps 725 needed adapting so these were ordered from ebay and modified by Brent at SMD. The middle box on the exhaust was also removed and welded with 3inch pipe.
Many other things were done in the rebuild back into the engine bay eg heat shrink, fuel pipes relocated and sleeves fitted.....many hours went into this process and I cant thank Brent and Luke enough for they handy work.
I just managed to get the car MOT'd and mapped to go to germany in May with only 1 bar of boost as there was a problem with the ext w/gate, this was still around 350bhp and ran very well. Thanks to Simon for mapping last minute as well.
On my return it went back on the rollers and is now making at 1.8 bar 475hp and 435lb torque and is still running very sweet. It may return to be upped to 2bar

I have also installed the harness bar and harnesses bought off Tomma on here

and just recently I ugraded the rear discs and pads with orangestuff pads

and today the the front discs replaced with AP 355mm and orangestuff pads

it basically brings it up to date, next on list is to get the rear ast's rebuilt at powerstation, and I fancy getting rid of the gauges in the car and getting the toucan screen fitted with the Simtek ecu upgrade via Simon again....other than that its quick enough and reliable!

#**280** 29-08-2012, 08:04 PM

Another good job by the boys at SMD, mine needs to go there soon and the engine also off to Mr Finch for a bit of head work!

Scott.T · #**287** 30-08-2012, 07:55 AM

looking good Tim glad you kept with it and had the patience to see it through.

Tomma · #**288** 30-08-2012, 08:17 PM

Very impressive Tim!

Are the calipers a straight fit or did you need any brackets or mods to fit them?
