yeah you norm get a "tappet" sound with CVH, like you i change my oil a lot too, change it once or twice a year, ( dependingon how much i drive it) and only done 30k in 7 years.

i know ya right really with the T3 but really dont wanna go down that road, not after just selling a naff one i could of exchanged, lol

TBH i power i got in mind is give or take, not fused about top end as i will never use it, im more intersted in the low down speed for "off the lights" kind of thing, the roads over here are just to small to give it a long thrash, apart from milly road which ais a few miles but that get to about 30foot of the cliff edge at one point

i would consider a hybrid T2 though
