My first 2. Rev 5 T bar

[samdale]

I'll need to get posting so I can put up some pics.

Really pleased with it so far. It's a 2000(V) Black rev5 T bar 55k miles, FTSH, 1 lady owner last 11 years.

As such it's completely standard throughout and the plan is to keep it that way.

I have a short B road commute to work so it's still only going to be doing c. 5k miles a year.

No doubt I'll be on here regularly, asking amatuer questions, buying spares and maybe treat myself to a tubby in the future

I remember saying that

Welcome.

From what I understand any mods are much better off being applied to a turbo so the plan is to keep this till the end of my apprenticeship (2 years) then treat myself to a standard, decent knick turbo and go from there.

This does of course rely on 2 things.

1. That such a thing as a "standard, decent knick turbo" exists in 2 years time.

2. That I don't feel the need for speed before then

Welcome to IMOC. Keep it standard? Pah, see how long that lasts!

Very sensible, wish I applied this logic to my N/A!

Although, saying that...I wouldn't have had half as much fun with mine

You could always drop a turbo lump in there if its a good clean n/a you got

[HighwayStar]

Hi and welcome. I had the same idea about 13 yrs ago... run an n/a until familiar with it then find a tubby. I still drive the same rev1 n/a now. Great cars and an n/a is a genuinely fun daily driver. Hope you have a lot of joy with it.

Balls, now you've thrown a spanner in the works.

Go on then, what bits do I need for a conversion other than the engine? I assume there's a list somewhere?

What's the best way to do it? Buying a front end right-off turbo maybe?
