110? It'll feel shit slow probably but will be fine to runaround in. was considerinf a cheap runabout so this is better than that. Long term plans now. They will definately be back but shouldnt think they'll be back until after the show season. Get it all done properly this time lol cant be dealing with spending 300 on a map and 350 on cams for 6 months use.
get the head rebuilt, get a cam, get the map put back on and it'll be sweet.

Yeah I am waiting to hear back from the guy about that..

He gave me a good quote and all, i'll get the money together and get that done first tbh.

I'm not looking at spending too much too soon. So I might just literally do the arch somewhere local.

It's all going to be very spread out over the next year or so as I am really tightening my budget and saving money instead of spending it. I've lost a good £1-1.5k's worth of stuff over the last couple weeks. Doesn't feel like it as its been money i've spent over time. But it's still gutting to come out with nothing and lose everything when i've worked so hard for it.

Ah well, you learn when your young, life goes on.

110? mine has more with just a cat back and you have a manifold and air filter

lol well either way I didn't notice much gain with everything on, so I doubt theres a great deal of difference from standard.

I have all the missis and kids and it aint stopped me having a project no matter how much fiesta stuff i have in the house, which includes rst bonnet, boot, si bumpers, driveshaft, gearbox, loads of interior shizzle, gti wheel, m3 mirrors (max power baby) and many other bits a crap lol.

If I settled down it would be with the right woman, who would tolerate a garage with a project, and parts lying around.

So far so good with this one!

I have a spec built up in my head now, I might have to send an engine to shawspeed and get him to build it for me Could take a while.. Thinking ready for show season 2013.

Ooooooh temptations.
