Why is it you hear so many cars have a NOS installed and set up and then kaaaabooom few days/weeks later they have cracked pistons. Theres a guy on FFOC that had NOS fitted and set up on his 1.8 Focus, it made 189bhp once and once only and now needs new pistons (thats about 50 bhp more than it should have lol)

Gutted for you Keith

Really bad news hun, as i said to you earlier, take a break from the car for a couple of months as its really getting you down.

Once you've been to a few shows im sure you'll find the motivation to get it running again
