cars still looking gay fella, gay colour with small wheels lol.

be good fun once you got the snail spinning, spoke to naylor he's building his at the mo too. the only thing i wouldnt do if i was you, is use de comp plate. when you can pick up focus rs pistons and rods for less than Ł400. then cosworth t3 and mega squit. probably be able to run 2bar and see over 300bhp...... maybe

all i can say is why do the same job twice. wait do the the job properly and never worry. because i know you, and you'll tweak the boost up once thinking "it wont hurt" not worth it mate. i still ow you Ł30 put that towards your pistons
