Could i ask where your oil feed is coming from into the head? 

[DazWood]

Wow! This car is immense! The 1st rebuild was top quality, but this is on another level now!

[spaceframemini]

It has been tapped into the oil gallery after the oil Filter
I really need to find some time to make a start on this again as It has been forgotten about for months with doing up my first house. Started building the garage this week tho so should make it easier once I get the car home

[spaceframemini]

It has been over a year since I last updated this and there is no change with the car. I have still been collecting bits for it, some of the nicer bits I have got are some titanium bottom arms, tie bars and a summit wireless controler to go with my removeable steering wheel.
Hoping to get it up and running this year.

The car has finally moved to my house and I can start working on it again. First job is to sort out the running gear then finish exhaust, plumbing, brakes and then the task of wiring up the Ecu. Hopefully it will start to come together over the next couple of months. I have been collecting bits whilst it's been away so all the big bits are there just the minor bits to get.

Have you thought about expected output?

[jonny f]

Looks great. Glad to see you still have this. You on turbo minis forum?

[mini_matt_106]

To anyone asking the paint colour it's very similar to a Mazda colour everyone calls smurf blue.

To echo everyone else, this project is epic!
I love how you've drilled everything in sight!

[mini_matt_106]

Hmm scratch that, smurf blue looks darker than I remember it.

[spaceframemini]

Hoping for 200hp but the new turbo has the potential to out preform the engine.

Yes I am Jonny I will be updating the build page on there once I have made some progress should be next week once I collect some shiny bits at the weekend.

Another small update collected a new subframe today and a bit more weight saved on the car just need to find the time now to strip the car down and fit it.
