Smiffys g60 (Back in the game)

nice one dread, il have to have a look into the gearbox issue, i kno i can use the vr 1st 2nd and 5th in my box so im assuming mine should be able to take it.

Wheyyy, nice to see you all again peeps.

Well after spending around a grand to get my arse to edition38 the car is back of the road !! This time its for real..

here she is looking sorry for herself



Im currently driving a F**d P**a :S However i was plesenlty suprised as to how much fun it is lol.
Its the 1.7 and the gearbox has got to be the nicest ive used....

Keep us all updated dude, shame I missed you again at edition

wheyy.. shes back

Done a few things to her since my last update..

I just about managed to make it to edition last year after having a nightmare with my gearbox..

I found myself a nice deisle turbo gearbox 'CTN' and WHAT a difference that makes to the shitty g60 box.. It really suits the g60 1st and 2nd are longer with a nice 3rd n 4th..

I replaced my botched exhaust with a nice powerflow custom jobby with a cool lil tailpipe 2.5inch, decat, n the smallest middle box they coud find



next was the intercooler.. i was never happy with the sprinter so i went for one of those universal jobbies of the interwebzz.. another great upgrade
Ps. its not straight buh who gives a crap its behind the gril ??



MOT time

I avoided the old mot and put her back to hibernation untill i got some bits n bobs



Painted the cage


I had a few niggles to get it through the mot... main one being the handbreak ? took them 4days and 3 tests to get it up to scratch 'gimps'.. the raised the car becase the springs were not in the top cup thingy when it was jacked up wtf ??

I had one advisory..... Exhaust to loud. hahaaaaaa

i lowerd it back down 10 minutes after getting it back... grabed my wash mitt n drying towel and headed for tescos jetwash..



TWWWO Days later.. i see smoke coming from my bay and dash. Turned out.. my heavy right foot and the nice new gearbox i blew an oil seal in the charger so im now rolling in a Lowcompresion N/A 1.8 8v. ohhh the fun lmao...

Think that brings you uptodate in my goingings on..

Looking amazing Get thee to a show! We'll ignore the fact you'll be doing 60mph flat out

Adz - diesel gearbox!

Haaahaa just looked through my posts.. the 16vt idea crept away when i realised i didnt have 5k lmao

When i get the charger sent off and back i rekon a trip to the nomads is a good way off running it in

nice one smithy man good to see she's back and lookin HOT

Liking the pin striping!
