time for another workshop update yaris has gone now um we've switched things about in the workshop
a bit so we've got warren's astra on the lift now and we're just finishing off all the final bits
and bobs so we've said about it a couple of times really obviously we hope to get the car to cadwell
but even when warren came to kind of help finish it um i think we realized that
again it's one of you spent so much time and money
you know effort on the car you don't want to end up kind of rushing it to get it done
so um yeah we're just trying to finish off a few bits and bobs i don't think it'll be
done you know as we kind of wanted it to be done but at the minute it's just a case of uh
getting it out on track we can always do some bits and bobs to it at a later date
um you know some kind of further improvements and i'm sure there'll be tweaks we need to make
there's always teething problems with these kinds of things and obviously it's not a road car so
it you can't kind of work those teething issues out on the road by just you know taking it
for a little spin you know you're kind of booking a track day and doing it that way
bmw obviously warren brought that when he came to help so that was about four or five weeks ago now
the initial problem was obviously we weren't really intending to get started
on that car that early we had tried to plan ahead and get the turbos here
but when as soon as we put the turbos in the engine bay realised actually reverse rotation
turbos would work a lot better and you can get those from garrett
in the new g series range so yeah you can get reverse rotation turbos it was an absolute
no-brainer because it would have made things a lot easier so we had to end up waiting about
four or five weeks for those to show up they're now here so we can get started on that probably
probably not going to be started on that next week because it's kind of for all hands on deck
trying to get warren's car finished but as soon as we've done that we are then cracking on with uh
you know big g25 turbo kit for s55 engine m4 so that'll be interesting um sam's car the skyline is
really getting there now so we've just got a few things left to do
at the minute we're just waiting for some more titanium for the boost pipes um we've still got
to fill up the hypertune intercooler and do all the kind of final fit and check of everything the
kit's been on and off the car so many times now that um you know obviously all the fixings start
to become a bit loose and you know you need to you know need to kind of renew all the nuts for when
you go for the final fit and obviously the car isn't i'm pretty sure it is ready to start but sam
will want to do that himself i'm sure so um or at least come here to do it so yeah let me know sam
my car's moved into the corner now where it'll probably live for i don't know until i take it
to bits maybe i don't know i don't know what will ever happen with this car obviously the plan is
to get it running with the k-series engine in but running is running and not driving so
um that hasn't moved although i'm hoping to make some progress on that in the next week or so again
it's all hands on deck trying to get warranty card ready for brands now because that's like a double
header that's time attack rounds two and three so we do really want to uh kind of make that one
because it's uh you know double duty we can get twice the use out of the car in the same weekend
and the k20 swap's always going to be the um the least priority really because it's
just for justin um he does have a running engine in his car now he's using my engine
it went well at cadwell so i think we're fairly confident the engine will likely last the season
if it doesn't we might have to hurry that along but i know there's quite a few people
interested in what we're going to do with that as am i i'm kind of interested in uh
seeing and hearing it and showing showing people the engine bay when it's done i guess and
we're now on with fabricating a big batch of yaris systems so
we definitely need to get some racking down here so we can put finished parts on but um again
that's on the to-do list yeah yaris systems in progress so i'm expecting these to be uh
quite popular judging by what i've seen from other people so far um yeah and then i guess
we're on to um the next round of development with something obviously the bmw's a fairly big project
and i think warren's quite keen to um i always have to say this but warren wg meta works
some people don't know he is he always he always says that nobody knows who you are
who i am when you say warren so yeah warren wg networks he's quite keen to
push those kits the hybrid turbos that you can get are expensive for what they are and i think um
yeah there's a good market for a garage alternative which is like a solid proper
turbo rather than a kind of rebuilt hybrid um yeah and we're going to be doing a load of work
on our r53 mini covered that in the video a couple of weeks back we've got um loads of
engine work to do and sub-framework trying not to go overboard on that don't really want to go too
crazy on mods just yet i would just like to get the car running with um i guess no oil leaks and
uh no suspension movement so yeah we're gonna film a bit on that as well uh but yeah i think that's
about it so thanks for watching and keep your eyes peeled for some uh skyline noises soon hopefully
