Hey thought i would throw up some progress pics of my car It was bought bout 6months ago and was just a standard turbo motor wit just a 3" rear section n a shiftkitted auto The car is a maroon over gold S1 calais which came from the factory as an NA but had a turbo conversion (complete motor and box) done to it. This is what it was like when i bought it but it only had polsihed calais rims, not the 19s Ive since Taken it off the road and doin a few mods to it Have got a JD plenum for it with XF TB Modified std exhaust mani wit 40mm wastegate attached Masterpower T66 Turbo is goin on it once i get it back from the shop 600x300x76 cooler EMS computer and GTR to go in aswell Surge Tank and 044 pump HP Design 17x7" Polished wheels A few guages aswell, Boost, Monster wit shiftlite, oil temp, oil psi, water temp and AF ratio C4 to go in aswell wit pro ratchet shifter Also hav purchased a spool to go in another 28spline diff As u can c from the pics, it all needs a really good clean and tidy up It should be going out to TrickyWeld this week for the polished stainless piping and also the rest of the exhaust Should all hopefully be back on the road and running in bout 2 weeks should hav been running by now but they are taking ages to make teh flange for the dump pipe on the turbo for some reason cheers Troy Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
