You mean you haven't had a pm from Chris Knott yet offering you cover in exchange for a prominently placed bit of branding?

Try giving one of the specialists a call like reis, manning, footman James etc. Reis insure my car and don't care what mods it has, they're only interested in power to weight.
Marginally more expensive than my renewal from flux at around £500 but includes track days. Limited mileage though.
Good luck, looks cool!

Morning forum friends. Just want to give you all a little update.
All the parts needed to finish the car have been ordered the last bits the injectors I expect to arrive tomorrow. All being well i will be over the workshop Saturday to button up and finish off a few things. Then probably one more full day and i will be about done. I have someone kindly offer to come and help out with finishing off the piggy back wiring so that will most likely be another full day then hopefully off to get it tuned up.
Thanks again for all your help and support. I am really trying to get it ready for zed feast so a few of you can take a look.

No No No i won’t be doing this again!!! Plus i think most would rather a brought and proven S/C kit over a DIY turbo kit I couldn’t make this cheaper than you can buy a S/C kit for. So no point really for anyone else to go this route. For me it was cheaper as I don’t charge myself labour

I just hope it all pans out!! If my oil feed works right. And the boost control works all is good for dyno time.
And through a friend I have a really trusted great guy tuning the car.

Mate if it's running and running well? Yes we 100% have to see how our cars work out against each other. I don't ever expect to win!! But I would love to see how it keeps up to 70!!!Beedub wrote: ↑Wed Jul 19, 2017 9:00 pmtheir will be teething issues but i think your the type of guy that will iron them out quickly.Machine monkey wrote: ↑Wed Jul 19, 2017 8:38 pmI just hope it all pans out!!

Deal!!!
spent a good day of driving the car yesterday motorways, back roads, A roads and really i cant ever be nothing but impressed even after all these years by the way the car behaves, feels, particularly off boost behaviour. it really is flawless. Really spend the time with the tuning and make sure its bang on, i don't think she will be ready for Zfest from my experience but i really hope it is.. the troubleshooting afterwards is what becomes tedious, even on a bolt on setup like mine came with a number of issues so a one off custom setup like yours will lead to headaches.
