You are a naughty boy

If you're prepared to pay the postage I can send you one side if you wanted to see if it's any good - if it's no good it would be nice if you posted it back again

As soon as you're ready let me know and I'll get one side sent with the courier we use at work, it's Ł10 for up to 25KG, so with luck one side will weigh less than that...

The 24v never happened as I sold both engines. Hocks are still on the Saph

Current spec
205 block YB engine
A/S Inlet
83lb Siemens injectors
Holset HX35W internally gated turbo
Big Wing Sump
Omex 600 ECU with anti lag and launch control
Coilpacks
Spec R and Bailey oil breatyher/seperator

God knows what numbers it will do as since buying the turbo I have heard they dont work as well on YBs - lets see.

Its triggers broom alright lol

pics are coming from when i can be arsed to upload off the phone.

Power wise as long as its around 450bhp i will be content but at the moment i have no idea what it will make. Winter is around the corner too so it may end up getting all built up and running and then park it back in the garage until the summer

My first Sapph (standard 2.0 pinto) was Mercury grey, I still think it's one of the best colours on a Sapph!
