for me its this..... 1.3tonnes 130rwhp of naturally aspirated carb fuelled backfiring fun..

Ive had one or two lizards over the years, if its the one Im thinking of those exoterra ones are quite poorly insulated as they have like a mesh top? So I can kind of see what she is saying, plus beardies get quite big and smelly. Best to speak to a local specialist really. Beardies are often recommended as good starter lizards, but the size I think is a bit of a undersight on this one, I honestly think that Lizards are crap pets personally. They seem to come in two brackets, big snotty aggressive things or small skittish snappy things, they spend long periods sunbathing and doing nothing interesting, or hiding asleep. In fact the only interesting thing they do is eat.... you soon get over that achievement, and get hacked off with regular visits to the pet shop to buy noisy bloody crickets that stink and escape all over your house, you are left with a fat motionless bag of scales that is simply an inconvenience. The other problem imo is that you cant really go keeping various species together to make a visual display, so are left with a large dislay with not a lot in it, again boring. If you do get the bug and like them, every new specimen more or less, will want a new enclosure making its a serious space issue and energy sapping exercise. I had a leopard gecko, I literally never saw it, it lived in a 2 foot square tank full of logs and wood chips, it was cool at first...unfortunately it had a disease they regularly get, from poor breeding and despite my best effort it died, which if im honest is probably for the best as it rarely came out and when it did it didn't do anything. So next I went for a bit more of a display and had a sand lizard and some other geckos etc little things a few inches long, think there were about 4 in total, they were supposed to be more active as they were day time creatures, but honestly they still hid a lot, and I got sick of feeding them and them doing well bog all, worse than having a hamster, so I took them back to the shop after about 6 months and sold the viv. One of my customers has a big adult beardie, it sits on a log under the heat lamp, and well that's it, the only reason I know its alive is it occasionally looks at you. You can get some really nice lizards very pretty but remember they are likely going to be very boring, and live a very long time, like dog long time, so its really worth considering how much you like the damn things first, probably less than you thought originally. Buy a Rabbit, it will only live 4 years you can cuddle it, it lives outside so it doesn't stink your house out, it eats cereals that are easy to store and and don't chirp at you, and it does well something..... lol that's my 4 pence anyways.

What sorta ballpark is not silly? Im probally going to go that way in about 18 months with some 550 deschworks

Should just be able to leave the battery unhooked for half hour and clear it.

What brings you to the turbo failure conclusion anyway?

£260 for parts by the look of it inc vat, then it was about £90+vat for them to balance them and clock them and assemble the housings.

I did mine theres not alot to it, easier than building an engine. However I havent dobne many miles yet so can say how long they will last. You need the short bearing kit, il have a look later what the kits cost me. I used genuine garrett parts as ebay kits didnt fill me with faith.

One of them is near me isnt it td? did mine myself in the end, as td refuse to balance them if they didnt build them, I used cr who provided the kit and then balanced cant remember how much now. Thats a good orice from midland though mark.

Sounds a little cheap that... I found it was around 300 to 450 per side, the 360s and step gaps push up the price a bit.

Its a common practice to do the dremel method, if youve done your deletes it wont take long topull the plenum and do it right.

Its really not that bad doing the tubs, just make sure they are balanced, soon as you take off the front wheel theyre going to need balancing. Tbh mate if id been in the position again and had a bit more cash ik wouldnt have bothered and gone straight to gt28s

Id be interested to see how long that stays on... Ive got it on my roof though and its been there 2 seasons.

Page 37 not amazing but a start.
