Well I'm not going to get anything done this weekend, as I'm on David Vizard's seminar in Swansea, been good. Dave Mountain of Mountune is one of his guest speakers, and spent some time talking to him after on the turbo rally set-ups. The Wizard is looking at one of my 12v heads tomorrow, it's always good to pick up different reference points :-)

Dave Baker (Puma) couldn't make it, pity, as that would have been fun :wink:

Read some where from the middle:
http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/to ... mid=0&nmt=

Dave Walker was there, Mike Parry etc..

I think it's likely the last time DV will be over here doing these, if indeed he does anymore, as he's getting on for 70 now, if not 70.. The UK contingent wasn't huge, nearly equalled by those that had come from Germany, Belgium, Holland, Norway, Ireland etc.. Rather tells a story on the UK tuning scene doesn't it :cry: :(

oooppsss..double...sorry...actually wanted to add a question, is it not risky that the eccentric bolts will move? I mean, when you have them in the wanted position, they are loose in the heads, not like a bold you torque in first... !?

Whilst I am at it, this is an amazing thread for all restoration fans, and A310's especially, much to pick up here:

That engine looks awesome! Twin turbo in that weight of car should be much fun.

Hi Jon,

Well I have plot of the original install when way back when, but not the post rebuild and upgrades. I had hoped to get this done, somewhat unlikely now I think with the focus on selling, will see...

I have posted your turbo rebuild and upgrade on your thread. For those looking top upgrade their turbo's, it's worth having a look at the work involved...

Now for something different... the P4 PRV, looking 8)

Well here you go, latest pictures from Chris T and his P4 replica with the 3ltr EFI project, details on the bottom of page 1, through page 2, and page 7 of this thread...

But look at this, must be the most detailed, and beautifully put together PRV ever... real credit to Chris's dedication and engineering in what he wants to achieve. Very nicely done, I'm sure you will all agree 8)
