thought so,i'm from redcar,been seriously thinking about doing this converstion myself,trying to find a decent engine/car seems to be the tricky bit,found a fully forged lump on ebay but you don't get any of the ancillaries so i think it may turn out to be to expensive doing it that way,we'll have to have a little meet sometime so i can have a look at your handy work,:thumbup1: do you no benmc off here then...

 

[litchy]

sorry?

No need to be sorry (!) I can't spell. Nice (spec)ification...list of mods, parts etc.

Ah right, could be a good buy to be fair in all honesty if price is right? Then just bolt a bigger turbo on and use the 197 ancillaries! Well some Of,
