yeah...alright mate...no body like a big head.

only joking man...it looks mint, run it carefully, how long did it take you to do? there's a lot of work been done...have you retained the standard rods? I have a similar plan in mind for mine.

[nicholasmitchellmr2]

lol thanks mate, took me a year and a half on and off. moved house twice and had a baby in that time too!!
yep standard rods as i am guessing they are good for plenty of power?

what are you planning with your car?

i am running it nice and gently, the more miles i put on it the better it runs

[nicholasmitchellmr2]

also shout out goes to charlie at ctm performance engineering in dagenham for doing the machine work

[nicholasmitchellmr2]

Unfortunately i think i am going to have to sell this now. wish i had the money to keep it!

[djpkins]

Mate...you will just $hit if you have to sell this now...you won't fetch anywhere near the amount of cash you've lashed out on it.
