Swapped keyboard for spanner

Well you may have thought it was quite from me over the last few days - though you may not have even noticed. Anyway I swapped the keyboard for a few spanners, sockets, welders and various other tools over the last few days and fitted a turbo kit to old faithful. After much research (EO Forum) and a selection of one of the long standing advertisers we purchased a Denco kit. I then proceeded to spend two days under, over and around the car installing the turbo, new exhaust system and the various other components to go along with the job.

After much swearing, cursing and wishing I was back on the computer I started the car about an hour ago and low and behold it started and much to my surprise there were no exhaust or oil leaks. I went for a drive and have only one major problem - WHY DID I NOT DO IT 4 YEARS AGO (Doh). It is like a new car and I will enjoy driving it again.

The other major problem is a buggered inner oil seal on the front passenger diff that will need to be attended to coupled with a new set of wheel bearings. Hate getting under the car for one job and finding another - this will have to be another day.

Anyway a word on the Denco kit. What an excellent piece of kit, you receive one box and a load of pipes, when you un-box the parts you quickly realise that Denco have supplied everything you need and all the parts are well labelled (even the exhaust pipes), the assembly is straight forward and apart from a few harder jobs (like welding the drain pipe into the sump) the whole kit goes together very well. There is also a good set of instructions and a good support network provided by both Denco and their dealers.

Now I just need to get the tuning sorted out by the local dealer in the next few weeks and all will be sweat. Now back to the keyboard it is a lot cleaner, until I brave the tools again to do the front diff.
