cvh is easier, got given one mfi rst engine
plan is new pistons bore, do some work top end cam, put it onto pectel t2 and then just run it
cheap and cheerful mapped on the dyno then in the car cant go wrong
it will work out cheaper for me
and re fuel, im used to running a 1.4, not a 1.6 turbo lol so dont wanna go too mental and spend my money fuelling it all the time,
ooh and the price of super unleaded is a hell of a lot different to unleaded lol

dam
how much roughly does carbon wrapping cost, and what is it exactly? just a thin bit of carbon laid over whatever you want done? just it still look like the real deal?

just something new, these are only mocked up, but hoping to buy them off ronnie the main man himself
when he gives me a price that is
but heres a pic,
been doing a bit of work on it today, got a mock up intercooler stuck in place, just getting a few bits sorted for a turbo engine, then one day when funds allow build the engine and the car is ready for her
coming on, next will be a decent exhaust system, ready for engine, then pectel t2 and loom
all the expensive bits to come
