just a few new pics and the next money sink lol









i-phone upside down pics fail

Get some pics of it the right way up!

Nice. I'm looking at new shocks and springs myself, plus polyurethane bushes and Brembo discs/pads. I don't want to lower the car, just want better quality parts.

What is the project? Can we guess that that you are going to lower and turbo charge your panda? What is the aim and purpose for the car? Roughly how do you intend to do it?

low boost/standard ish parts-it aint gonna be a monster/something still that i can use for daily drive/oem look but underneath ..... you know the rest!

well turbo's on and FMIC is in! mechanics are growling every time i turn up at the garage-always a good sign! just a few bits to do-sump drill and a couple more custom bends then good to go for custom downpipe-then full standalone/map by the escort cossy boys-should get 140-160 easy. looking forward to pissing people off in the rear view mirror!

Any plans for an LSD? Just worried you'll struggle to get the power down, particularly so out of corners.

have looked into it yes-is currently on the 'maybe' do list

Have you considered one of these ??

A fraction of the price of say... a Quaife item ?

Like anything, you get what you pay for but, if it does the same thing (essentially), it could be a viable cost effective improvement for new found power. Google some reviews and check them out, there's people out there that swear by them

That was a ball ache to get in! lol

if anyone else is attempting this i'd suggest moving the radiator back 15mm first!

Looks like a neat job.

How much have you spent so far on this? and how much do you think it will cost to complete?
Id love the extra 40 - 60 bhp

turbo conversion parts around 1100 quid ecu 2k, labor bill roughly 1k-some bits still trickling in though

influx of pics, info and possibly a video coming very soon!

Come on then, chop, chop.

most of its done now just injectors/ecu to go. car runs with actuator arm attached but arm is now disconnected as obviously the ecu tries to limit the power. just running in not on boost watching oil/water e.t.c. this looks like its gonna be a lot of fun lol

few test runs today-no issues even when seeing the top end of rev counter. goes in tomorrow for injectors/sparks/catch tank and total engine bay heat wrap e.t.c. finishing touches nearly in sight. keeping the spot light glass and doing something like smoking them as fog lights had to go lol. off for full standalone at end of next week, may even replace dash clocks with electronic dash courtesy of the boys at jamsport. Cant wait to drive it on boost now-its soooo close i can taste it!

Looking forward to seeing this finished. Managed to get a video of it running yet?
