Jingle bells my turbo smells so I put it in the rear

Oh what fun it is too ride with a single turbo in the bay.

 

ohhh..

 

I suspect this creates a negative boost pressure.

I've seen rear mounted turbos before but I'm pretty sure there's a reason they run the turbo right off the manifold and not in the boot at the other end of 8ft of scaffolding pole.

Heat from the exhaust contains energy which is fundamental to the Physics?

I read an article in a car mag years ago, where someone had fitted a turbo to a 205 just in front of the back box. His impeccable* and well-informed* reasoning was that once you'd filled a hose with water, any pressure adjustments at the tap end had immediate effect at the spray end, and an exhaust system was basically like a hose but with gas. I'm guessing that he was deluged with offers from motorsport teams after it got published.

 

EDIT: Actually I'm not sure that it was a 205, because he said he couldn't fit a turbo under the bonnet. Although, given his grasp of GCSE-level physics, f**k knows what his spatial awareness was like.

I like Aerodecks. Alas, being little more than oversized Civics limits their appeal to me, now that I have the latter - the less awkwardly styled Civic does everything as well as the Aerodeck could (barring having cruise control), and the uselessly high tailgate aperture (try getting a bike over it) limits any practical reason to have one. It's even worse than that of the BMW E30 Touring, at least they have a numberplate shaped gap you can string things through without having to lug them 3' in the air. They're cool things, no denying, but they're an even worse companion to my Civic than a 416 is. A Shuttle would be more useful, but I don't like them.

Could probably get some decent cash for the wheels once it's done. Quite a smart looking thing from 20ft.

 

 

It's not even smart looking from 20 miles.

Bfg from here is after a car from the 1930s, 40s or 50s.  I can give no useful advice so I'll just pick ones that are nice.

 

These Rileys are certainly a looker and they come up on eBay fairly often which means that spares are probably available.  This is based on no knowledge at all - it might be that they're all being sold because you can't get a distributor cap for one

This one seems pricey at 20 grand but at least it goes which is important to some people.  I'd have thought parts availability was pretty good for these although it's probably not the same vintage driving experience as something from the 1930s

-GSi so more power innit.

 

ANY PANT WORK IS SHOWN

Previously failed on rust and advisories for delaminated reg plates. Those plates clearly haven't been dealt with, despite the advisories disappearing. Makes me wonder if the welding has actually been done?
