Bought this car last year, and have done a few things to it, with a few other things still in progress, so thought i'd throw it up here 
car when i first bought it
next day fitted this, didnt like the standard one at all
Then had these fitted at ktec
Then had it setup at Northampton motorsport
The difference the setup made was fantastic, money well spent imo :approve:
Then did a rr day at tdf, and found the engine was only producing 135bhp oh dear!!
So decided to get on with building the engine i bought off ebay
Part stripped it down, and sent the various parts to be cleaned up and modified
The head was done by cylinder head developements in bromsgrove, and i have gone for ED cams.
This is the bottom end all finished, acid dipped, lightened and balanced, honed, new rings and its all currently at BTM to be screwed together, but Freds just discovered a problem with the block, in the fact that one of the bores has a score down it, and maybe the result from a broken piston ring i wasn't happy to say the least, but Fred said he's gonna see what he can do to get the problem sorted.
So fingers crossed its not gonna be too bad, but just trying to get spirits up, after getting this far and to get knocked down a virtually the last hurdle is really frustrating. But its in the capable hands of Fred now so hopefully she'll be okay.... no pressure lol
Cheers guys comments welcome
