Great news mate. So happy this is finally taking the shape you wanted. I have a full headlight knocking about but not sure what side (think its drivers side TBH) I\'ll have a look tomorrow mate.
I don\'t need to upgrade my stock turbo to beat your ass!

forgot to take some outside pics as one side of the skirt is broken in transit some how and it in 2 bits now!

but anyway, half way through cleaning i thought i\'d go post office to collect some stuff and get more supplies for fc.

then... (i\'ll let the pics tell the story)

water temp rose then before i know, pop *steam coming from bonnet and my car is taking a ....*

after some investigating, which took a while found this

this is the pipe connected to the bac? and other end round the back of the water housing, a hole and also the end popped off so needless to say, if anyone has one kicking about i\'d be muchos muchos appreciated :)

Have informed tuner 1 and hard to say if it was an air lock or pressurised system.

Story of problems since collection.
picked up at reworx yesterday and drove home, all was ok but after 1.5 - 2 hrs got caught in traffic near parents take away, briefly stood still and water temp started rising. got home ok at about 100 degs then turn off engine and water ....es out of expansion tank.

let cool then filled up then on way home home. got home and started to pee a bit again.

today took short trip (4 miles) to post office, all ok, then on way back car stalls at roundabout (maybe cos primaries are leaking a bit, geff said primaries were leaking a bit but would be ok for run in).
car pees a bit, restart and then about 2 miles down the road ka-poof, steam and water so pull over immediately and turn off engine.

after 4 hours total finally got it towed home.

i think this means i\'m having a competition with nik to see who has the worst luck with rotaries!
never been to rs with my fc :(

will replace pipe when i find one then do champers test / burp the system then see how it goes. either will be ok or back to tuner 1.
Just hole it\'s not messed up any of the seals. :mad:

Oh no. There was me thinking the problems were over!
I may have one of those pipes but won\'t be at my other engine till monday. If you haven\'t got one by then give me a bell or text to remind me to have a look for you.
