I would use the 1242 16v thottle body as it is the same bore as the tjet one
It fits to the engine fine.:devil: however in a classic panda its all a bit tight

Tight is fine so long as it fits lol
hey, never said i wasn't!
Ah very interesting I presumed it would be alot smaller being the 1.2 manifold, but if thats the case may aswell use it cheers ?
This was my thinking with Char' too, '92 means she will never need a CAT (also means on a cold morning the exhaust fumes can stink up the whole street whilst on choke mind...
)More power can be squeezed out without that pesky CAT in the way
Or the garage as the case maybe lol(also means on a cold morning the exhaust fumes can stink up the whole street whilst on choke mind...
I'm so in love with them wheels
Small update , finally managed to get my wheels painted and tyres fitted seems to have given me a new love for the car.
Also ordered my fittings for oil lines for the turbo and coolant lines. Awaiting delivery of my decat downpipe happy days

Tasty! :slayer:
I have a slightly crooked neck from looking at them, but it was totally worth it

Ha ha , not sure why some pics were on there side ?
Managed to sneak a few hours this week and a few more parts arrived ?
Firstly I purchased a tjet solid flywheel for a bargain price to allow me to fit the 200mm stilo clutch rather than the 180mm clutch of the panda which would cause a few issues later.
Also while on a the spending spree managed to source a new tjet water pipe from the rear of the pump , which allow me to connect up my coolant line for the turbo as it incorporates a fitting.
Also purchased a new panda alternator and had a friend machine up some spacers to align the pulley with the 16v .
I then stripped out the clutch fork from the box as it had done a good job of siezing up from laying around , what an arse it was to free off without damaging the nylon bush. After that was free decided to unite the panda box to the 16v which went well until I tried to turn the engine over?.
Which I discovered the bigger pressure plate fouled on the bell housing at the diff , so removed the excess metal from it to allow clearence . Which after a few more trial fits I had clearence ?
My next stumbling block was the starter motor which I found the 16v starter locates with 2 bolts the third hole will need drilled. I did try the panda starter but the amount that needed to be trimmed was time consuming and the 16v starter is lighter so abanded that route

Not had much time as of late but still progressing . Have sorted out a better front brake setup incase I do the odd trackday for the bannter. New front brakes consist of discs sourced from the newer panda solid discs being 240mm diameter . Then using the 4 pot willwood powerlite calipers and custom adapters I had made up from a friend. These have a slightly larger surface area than the original calipers so will have more power but a slightly longer brake pedal travel.
On the engine front things have also progressed will add more info shortly ☺

looks awesome!
Well played... :slayer: sounds like an interesting setup. How come you went with 106 injectors?
