Garrett turbo, getting better...

While testing the leaking off the turboparts at autotune.fi, i saw that the turbochargers cold side was leaking, so i thought that theres a broken o-ring inside, but when dismantling that turbo, i found out that theres no gasket at all, and looks like there should be some glue on the threads too... but after these tricks, its interesting to see where it still leaks, that should make some difference. The turbo repair shop guy told me that there could be a too small turbine side, restrictive at least, so im thinking to take my 2 garretts to the shop, if he sees any problems with my parts. And one thing... kotten tallgren fixed my ghias blinker base.. wow, looks so much better... To be continued.

Baby blue Ghia update

Picked up the blue cab from wagenhaus, (it was a good visit) and took the vert ...fast to the cottage, BUT... To work alone, with a pretty steep runway, the "just drop the car from trailer" didnt go as planned... I ended to smack my panelvan with the trailer... The ghia got stuck in the trailer, well etc... The ghia is at least at the cottage, i have a smashed door in the van, and i got only half of the things done... I should get the van to the kangasniemi motor zentrum, and hopefully the rsr clone too, have to talk about this with the motorsport wizard-pekka... 

new floors are always a good thing!

Smurffs up!!! - ghia cab update

Theres a lot of difference what was said and what is the reality, when you buy a car without having the possibiliyty to check it out first... This ghia had "a small rust hole in the floar" ... Which actually was a totally rusted out floor pan... So thanks to wagenhaus.fi & paruzzi.fi -its getting much better!!!!
