I recently aquired a twin turbo estate with a minker spec engine and 3.14 diffs,i have passed the engine on to snoopalopa and will be fitting in the next few weeks to his 4be.keeping the diffs for my car which is stripped at the moment for a roll cage and a better engine.
went down to the car last sat lunchtime to have a look at somrthing and found that it had been broken into and they attempted to hot wire the car! i just laughed as i had already taken the ecu out  ....better luck next time spamheads.
well with this i had to bring forward the planned engine removal as i fear word has spread about the car,so i worked my nuts off to get the lump out and diffs before some pikey barsteward decided to take it away  .............o and snoopalopa popped round to give me a hand but then had to go just before the real fun started,to speed things up a little i cut the front of the car off to get the engine out in one piece without taking the turbo's off!




and finally got the 3.14 rear diff off

if you own a turbo car with lumps of molten metal under your bonnet then owning a fire extingusher is a wise move.
