Ohhhh. Nice. Had any trouble getting it that nice?

Vernier Pulley will make a difference as it will allow the timing to be set exactly right as opposed to the manufacturers settings which will be very close but not perfect.

i fitted the cvh 27 with a vernier pulley to mine and it was to lumpy for the other mods i done full stainless drilled airbox! now iv'e got the cvh 26 which is much better i found, it made 121 bhp at interpro. iv'e got the cvh 27 cam for sale if you decide to do it, its only done about 100 miles!

wel i bought it like that 2 jears ago i added the rear lights and gave it a good clean ,it was used as a second car and had not run on a daily basis in about 6 jears at the moment its been srtippedout empty to get the rust spots done every corner of the car with the worst one being the left front corner
Engine wise i have a k&n filter Drilled airbox and a full scorpion exhaust,With the new engine i will be fitting a jamex filterbox instead of the airbox but that's the only change so you would reckon the cv 26!, how lumpy is it at what revrange does the power kick in? and what is the price off yours?
Cause the main thing i want is een nice clean allday car but with decent power to give the saxo vts guy's a run for there money
For my real speed kick's i use my other baby
