I agree I like it so I've kept them
And all the other modded bits theo whole looks was more my taste but I though it would be cool to go back standard ish with some 90s wheels and a turbo engine for abit

It's finally road legal, I can't believe it, just needs some mapping before I can address the body work
Few more bits to fit like my ERL water injection, Pre rad, HIDs and painted inlet magnifold and full rear bake rebuild, it's never ending.

Well bad news while at the final herdel of mapping karl noticed that the block was cracked on the front water jacket
Clutch is slipping at anything over 7psi and the oil return is shagged
So new engine and clutch are on the cards
Such a shame so close......back into the garage it goes

Ive just bought another standard frst engine from ian at the RS Centre, as i was never going for big power it should be good enough
Just gotta get it back home, change the engine and put an uprated clutch in and it can go back to karl
