Cosevo-cant believe you live in essex and dont know where Specialised engines is!
MK3Ghia - Bottom end looks sweet, you gonna get it 'bored out' to 1700? Stick with Hayes if you know their work, not too keen on specialised engines but thats my opinion from stories ive heard! Have you tried Race Power Motorsport in Northfleet? Got the RS going down there soon for engine rebuild, cant decide what the spec will be but Festa RS1800 or 2 litre ZVH ideas being considered ( depends on whether the twin coils will take it ), but its defo gonna have Nitrous! RPM are pretty good, qutie friendly, and they know their stuff. They did Keith Wood's S1 ( the geezer who used to do Performance ford, now does track and race cars ) when Performance ford did the S1 v S2 rs turbo feature.
Im gonna have a look at an S1 my mates says is for sale with a few spares including spare kit, could be a repro one not original, so whe i see it ill get back to you on that one. I'd advise you to use the whole kit, otherise itll looked chopped about and basically cr@p! and believe me ive seen a 16i 'bodged up' like that in the scrappie!
Oh yeah as for the janspeed, its maybe wise to repaint the manifold on it cos the paint on mine wiped off when i first put it on and ragged it. You'll defo tell the difference with it on though, powers seems to be alot smoother, i wasent too keen on the backbox, sounded pap and im sure it isnt as freeflowing compared to when i swapped it with my old ashley box.
See other post as regards to oil cap mate.
