i agree with Max about the front plate.

should ideally be in the 400's mate with those few bits you mentioned.

what made you go for an engine from Germany rather than all the companies in this country?

Looks nice mate, but as said it would look loads better with the normal plate back on in my opinon.

hi enrico was ment to pm you when i got her running
brakes are under investigation at the moment
got to finish building my mk2 escort using the old esco engine more money thrown away
want to use the escos wheels on the mk2 - then i will kit the escos with 18" rims and big brakes - its only a family car so i doubt it will go on track any more - save that job for the mk2
just finished putting a greddy boost controller in so i will book a mapping session for next couple of weeks
number plate has been orders
i do like the stealth tanks . the idea i wanted was to lift the bonnet and for it to look fairly factory to the untrained eye .
poor old pro alloy boys had a job getting the intercooler outlet to meet the throttle body . their work is awesome . i am glad i am just round the corner so i can pop in and see what they are up too
