Year, bad luck i think..

The engine did go for about 22k km sĺ WTF..... or not...
But building it up again with the best things i can get for money this time, so hope to get it right this time...
Having a budget that should keep about 7000Ł just for the goodies as i`m building it my self, should get me along the way...

It ran denzo IK27 irridium plugs by the way.... REALY cool plugs.... but fooking expensive

Thanx for the sympathy guys... cheers
