Hahah you'd have trouble racing SLO because "The Chazza" isnt going.. The reason it isnt going is due to the fact that it is half way through a build involving forged pistons, rods, crank (i think) externally gated turbo (not sure on details), close ratio gearbox all in preparation for thirty pounds A race would be.... interesting You see, i can also vouch for the cars (possibly previous) poor condition. The previous owner (lets call him John), buying into his first turbo car was massively ripped off. The turbo seals were on their way out and the turbo itself was pretty much fucked. John replaced this farked turbo with the cheapest item he could find which happened to be a cb60 from the carbie model charade turbo (the first ever, i believe this used the same flange as the later model g100... or is it g11? hence the standard manifold you refer to) These turbo problems preceded wiring problems which were addressed by the local auto electrician (a good mate of mine) who claimed the electrics were in a bad way. He rectified the problem by rewiring almost the complete car. This is when the computer problems started. I am curious as to why a loose connection on a handset which is merely an interface to a controlling computer would cause problems of any nature so it could be that the problem was in fact due to the headgasket.. Did i mention the bogged rust in the chassis rails? Sure, you wouldnt have noticed that they were bogged if it wasnt for the fact that the bog had cracked due to the inherent stress placed upon the forward section of the chassis by a front wheel drive car. How do i know all this.....? because i'm the one who cracked the radiator Sorry i'm just sticking up for my mate against a whole heap of people who barred up when he tried to share the history of the car with potential buyers. It initially seemed that the seller, Bexi, was being dishonest but now i'm not so sure that the car wasnt returned/restored to its former glory. It's not as if SLO was trying to destroy this guy's chances of selling his car just for the fun of it, but to protect stupid buyers like John* and expose any dishonesty to protect YOU the users of this forum. I couldnt vouch for the condition of the car once it left Johns possession and all the problems seem to have been addressed except for the rust, unless it was cut and rewelded. I can honestly say that there were large amounts of rust on both sides of the car in exactly the same spot on the chassis rails. The seller seems to completely deny this and as such i see this as dishonesty. If he could not be trusted on this point why is that people seem so eager to believe everything else. sorry, just bored and post-whoring on something which i found amusing and involved me personally.
