Yeah thats me, theres always threads like that, always the bad stuff but nobody reports the good stuff as theres no problems!
I quit vxro years ago after too much brown nosing with dougie! They banned aussie Shane and started ganging up on mandy snd eamonn. I voiced my opinions and its never...
Yes i was.
Mechanical sympathy goes a long way and regular oil changes is the cheapest mechanic!
Did you let it warm up before nailing it? Your going to say yes but how do you know as there is no temp gauge? These cars have quirks, you just need to get to know them!!

Nice car mate, i do like the nurburgring editions, although i do feel vauxhall copied everything i did to mine back in 2008!

The runners are the pieces of tube on the inlet manifold that the silicone joiners slip over. These have a bead on them so the silicone shouldnt slide off

Its getting there, better and better everytime i drive it now. Fixed the alternator problem so doesnt cough and splutter back through the carbs now!! Revs a lot cleaner now it has some charge in the battery!
Its just coming together slowly!
The 340 is about 60bhp as standard but the engine going in is a hybrid. Its a f7r 2.0 bottom end on a f7p 1.8 16v head and cams so could be anywhere between 130-150bhp!
