there that should be better.


Bert, the new engine is almost exactly the same as the last - a 1.6 SB code GTD engine the main difference being this has a garret T2 instead of a K14, its pretty much up and running again now, but I'm having major cooling issues - think I'm gonna have to get a mahoosive custom one built.

I'll have to take some new pics soon as I've got new wheels on too now 8)

any probs with yours? what rad are you using and do you have a front mount intercooler?

Signed up to this…

only thing is…the more people who sign, the more tax they'll see as being lost… maybe I worry too much!

Signed and it would be nice gesture as the loss to the treasury would be minmial. Although the same could be said about IHT I doubt Stalinist Gordon Brown will do it though!
