Am gonna take it easy now as I am stashing to get myself on the property market so the car is taking a side step. I am always away and the M.o.t runs out in July so I think that would be a good excuse to strip it and get it restored.

I really am in 2 minds as to what to do with the engine as I have the 1.9 specialised engines in there but the rods and pistons are standard ones.

So I see it as my options are:

1) Stick with the lump I have and put steel rods and forged pistons in.
2) Go back to a 1.6 and do the same as above ( not to keen on this idea)
3) Go the full zetec route with the steel rods and pistons.

I wouldn't bother with going zvh as it just seems like half a job and I would just regret not going the full zetec.

I really am stuck on what to do management wise as I was talking to Nigel B about his Series One and he runs Autronic which got me thinking.

I have a Level 6 ecu in there now with the wiring loom and sensors which has to be worth atleast £250, I have a P8 ecu which was or is planned to go in mine and that is worth £300, mapping for the P8 is going to cost around £600 plus the bits for antilag as I have the maram shaft in my T34

So all in all that's probably about £1400 already when say for example Autronic is about 2 grand mapped.

The Question is " How hard would it be to go full zetec and is all the extra money on adapting brackets and spacers etc worth it? "

Oh What to do

Gonna be a while till it's done anyway and like Rudey said I will take my own time as I feel no need to prove anything else on the car to anyone but me as it will be a track car mainly as I had so much fun at The Beds Track Day
