Just got back from Knockhill again, point and click camera so pics are not amazing. It was pretty quiet tonight, some nice cars though. The 205's had a good battle at the end which Gez got on video, his turbo was the quickest, the other two were mi16 engines, one on carbs and one on TB's. Quickest car of the day was the blue kitcar.

Look on KH website mate it gives a list of the upcoming trackdays, I think they're quite often. I've been to two in the last week and I think there's been atleast 4 in the last month, probably more.

I think it's LHD as it's a G60 Rallye - they only came in LHD IIRC.
Edit: If it is a Rallye, it also means it's 4WD

It goes really well, he's convinced it is quicker than the other turbo he had, how often do these come up for sale up your end?

just depends really, guy he bought it from has built quite a few over the few year or so, im sure at one one point there was about 6 8v turbos all from this area up there . . a few have moved onto 16v turbos which is a different ball game again, if you give sos motorsport a bell he can start from a bare shell and paint and build it to your spec etc
you can fire a cam, bigger turbo, bigger intercooler and management on the 8v and youll have a pretty rocking track car
