Lol. Not yet, mate. I was going to do some work on Sunday but was seriously hanging from a mates birthday party, it took me two days to recoup from that hangover :wack:. It's my birthday on Thursday and I'm not stopping until Saturday night. I'm going to have to work on it next weekend as I want to drive it before all of the good weather disappears.

Yeah, would have got the bottom end all done and head back on of I'd remembered the ring compressor. Went to borrow one to try and sort it but the fella had gone out, so had to leave it. I reckon ill have it done in less than a day, just needs a few hours spent on it now.

I know :wack:, I've made a decision on it though. Get it running sweet, get it mapped and sell it. I was looking at Porsche 996 turbos to get after but I think ill use my money to buy a house instead. I broke up with my other half recently after nearly 5 years, proper gutted about it, so just going to sort myself out and get back into motors at a later date. I still want to take it down to pod though to see what it'll do, low 11's easy I reckon

Ah crap man sorry to hear that! Never nice dealing with that stuff.
Yeah you should at least take it for a few runs first...
love a 996 turbo myself , is on my list too! Quality motors and everyday usability can't go wrong

Yeah, we're still trying to keep in contact and friends, but it's not easy.

anyway, I finished the bottom end tonight, so it's sort of half done :D. I just need to bolt the head on now and plumb all the pipes and turbo back up.





i probably won't be doing much on it till next week now as tonight was my night off the gym and I'm at a wedding all this weekend, but it doesn't need much more time spending on it now.

A little closer. Started getting the new cam belt fitted but I was running out of time, so I'll have to finish it off this weekend.
