Did you balance your old flywheel or is it a new item, reason i ask i i think i may need an old one to run my twin coils?

can i ask why you chose the Rs turbo box?

Sure the LSD will help a little, but id have thought the 16i gearing would be better suited to the 1/4?

Are those cibe spots, theyre massive

and what exhaust are you running it looks sexy from the rear end!

Will be intresting to see what sort of power it pushes with the 45's

Get some more pics up, would love to see it in more detail

yeah love the 16i specally black, wanted one since i was 14 when my dad had a silver one. I did have a white one a few years ago but done a deal with it for an anglia 105e with a pinto in it, and regretted it ever since. Then my wife bought me this one for christmas.

The engine spec is pretty much as it was when i got it, so i dont have an old flywheel im afraid but there is a bloke who lives up the road from me who has had 16i's for years, i will pop round and ask him if he has one as i know he has broke a couple for spares.

The RS turbo box was already in it, i do want to put a 16i box back in it but see if i can use a LSD with it.

Yeah the spots are cibies, not sure what i prefer these or the standard spots. Not sure what they have done with the exhaust, looks like a universal backbox, with no centre silencer.

I cant wait to see what it will do on the rollers, hopefully find out what the knocking noise is tommorrow, if its bad the burton cataloge will be coming out and the zvh on its way.

I have been watching your thread and the car is coming along very well looks a very good shell, the more i look at your engine bay the more i think about sorting mine out as its not the prettiest.
