I’ve been busy so haven’t done much to this really.
Drive shaft came loose, waiting for new bolts to turn up from AUTODOC. Should be here by June. Then the half shaft bearing to mount lost a bolt too. Sorted that today and thread locked the fuckers in.
Van is getting lighter so its arse in the air like it just don’t care. Similar to Kneel at the weekends with his ankles up whilst Cilla pegs him. To combat my starsky and hutch issues I’ve bought these second hand unused bargains: they’re 7” 1200lbs D Faulkners. Nearly half price.
The DMF is showing signs of dying after just 2000 miles and it started just over 1000. It shudders at 2000rpm when I nail it in 4th and 5th. Maybe even in 3rd.
The sound of it at 5000rpm is devastatingly and unequivocally addictive, non of it is going last very long, I want more. Looking for a spare gearbox for Justin.
Think I may have sourced my next turbo too, a Holset HE221W. Found it cheap from a company in Scandinavia, brand new too! Problem is the VAT and duties to the UK makes it about £500, still a steal for what it is though. Thankfully, I have a mate who’s just left for the EU for 6 weeks and it’s £310 if he buys it out there and then brings it back. I challenge any fucker to find a better, more advanced quality turbo of the same spec for even double that price. Just try, you can’t.
