That turbo is bigger than the engine in my Fabia -twin scroll perhaps?

Hi Richard,

Now you're getting someway towards getting it running and expecting to get it finished in 7 weeks what will you need to do to get it on the road- will you need a VOSA inspection for instance and how will you go about the dreaded insurance? will you need to have it valued or will they accept proof of expenditure to estimate it's value etc.

I know this isn't very sexy compared to the car itself but as I've never done anything other than buy a 'normal' car I was wondering what obsticles you've yet to overcome on the legal front to get it on the road.

It's not going on the road right away, I'm doing some track and sprint events first to get familiar with the car.

But at some stage it will need to be looked at by VOSA. Then I'll go from there, so no point guessing at this stage.

Worst case scenario is a full IVA and a Q plate, in which case I have some Citigo dealer show plates for events.

Insurance is not a major problem.

I have a company I spend a fair few £££ with so will be twisting their arm.

It will either be classified as heavily modified or a kit car for insurance purposes.

What will be, will be, so I'm not going to worry about it too much.

No, this isn't the twin scroll version.

It's a Borg Warner EFR turbo which are made to a very high spec and have minimal lag.

Good news is it fits... with a bit of trimming to non essential metalwork.

Does it run yet?

No, it's still got the dummy engine in.

My engine still needs it's full high spec build... then it all needs wiring in using the loom from the TT and custom dash.

So may be a few more days yet...

Deadline is around 6-7 weeks away.

Sounds like its coming along fantastically, can't wait to see it in the flesh at Gaydon :-)

I thought you usually go, always good to see you anyway.

If a certain transport company could sponsor me I might be able to make it to Combe

I almost gave it a miss this time because I've been busy with things, trying to save, family stuff. Once I heard it was going I had to make the effort

If Eddie Stobarts wasn't struggling I am sure they would love to vinyl wrap your car and give you a free tank of diesel for it

If Richard can't do it it would have to be UPS

Now for The Boss' sake can we get back on topic

yeah turbo stands out big time and really is the pinacle of turbos at the moment

got a race tech dash if your interested cheap

Hey Clive,

We're using the SVA/IVA compliant version of the Race Tech dash which will be sunk into the Citigo instrument bin so it's not visable from outside.

This one: http://www.race-tech...dash2_2_31.html

If yours is this version and good as new drop Kevin a line at Jabbasport as he may have bought it already...

yeah that looks like the one i ave its been mounted into a vrs surround its brand new never used have apic somewhere !!

whats your mob number pm me will send you a pic

If you contact me I need to ask Kevin if he's bought it already, then contact you to buy, then contact him again...

It's much better for you to contact Kevin at Jabbasport as he is dealing with the dash/electricals/software. 01733 211 779.

He has my permission to buy what we need.
