I thought perhaps you were surprised I once had hair or something
Yeah a grey bay would be good, but a rattle can of white would do for now, lol
I like clean engines as they are easier to work on and easier to see if you get a leak etc.
This is that one when I was timing the cam in for example, just so nice to work with:

i seen pic's of your hair before, bit mad seeing you with hair
it's not too bad in the engine bay, the clear pic above of the pulley is where i accidently hit it while taking the engine out last year, as i was on my own, will probably sort that as i need to cut a section out to give more clearance for the pulley, the other bad bit is at the rear of the bay where i have a brake fluid leak

Yeah fair point mate, definately not the sort of thing to start doing now, during the closed season makes far more sense than doing it now, I just meant at some point its worth doing now its such a "finished" car in so many other ways that its worth having a final tidy up

gonna be lethal! i take it youve seen the sounds of silence xu10 turbo 205?
When i went on DP engineering i couldnt believe xu10's and j4 engines can take 300+bhp with a decomp plate ( 8:8:1) Well dp's own s16 205 is well over 400whp now on a gt30

a low boost lynx on a heavy as fook 1100kg gti6 is capable of high 5's to 60 with a good launch, Also get into mid 13's
so in a 840-880kg(guestimate?) 205 with decent tyres, suspension and brakes will be epic!
