it certainly is mate hould hopefully be on the road in the next couple of months depending on how things go, im going to be running a steady low boost for daily driving which im hoping to achieve around the 250bhp mark then guna create a map for trackdays which will hopefully give me around 320bhp so its going to be a busy couple of months but im should all be worth it
thanks for your comments

my engine is completed and ready to be fitted so i will get a pic uploaded
spec
2.1 silvertop zetec
wossner pistons (86mm) and pec rods
acl bearings
arp fastners throughout
standard cylinder head with uprated valve springs
the car will eventually be running a gt28 but as funds are required for managment and an mtx conversion my t3 is going have to do to get the initial running in miles on the clock, once i have the money for the gt28 i am going to be running a tubular exhaust manifold and also i will uprate my injectors from beiges to vxr ones or something similar aswell as my custom inlet based on the rover one with custom plenum, also been in discussion with the a couple of guys regarding managment so that is to be done in the next couple of months to ready for the season anyway guys thanks for comments left so far im guna be getting more up to date pics of the shell now the weather is better
