I've decided its better to invest my funds in either a 20XE or Let now :lol: so i can no longer be on the list :(
Good luck with the new kit I bet she'll see well over the 100brake mark :wink:
my baby wont be long. then ill let the fun begin. I think i need to save for bottom end work though

what's the quickest 1.4 8v on the site?? it can't be mine can it? all i've got is t40's, is there any highly modded 8v's or has everyone moved on to 16v's now?
well Russels is about as highly modded as you can go for a 1600 8v I think mate...
not everyone is going to 16v...!
snowface has a 1400 doesnt he ? or is it a 1300 ?
broos3 has a 1.4 on T40's mate
there was a really rpaid 1.4 5door, but i think its a 2l now
there was a really rpaid 1.4 5door, but i think its a 2l now
Thats Phil sutton
there was a really rpaid 1.4 5door, but i think its a 2l now
that was phil, his was about the same as mine. i think he ran 16.3 at the shotout. broos3 don't drive his 1.4, he's got a gte now.
who's this russel and what's he got? i know there's a chap on mig with a 1.4 sport putting out around 130bhp

yep. piper 285 cam and a set of vaux followers. might rebuild the bottom end when i put them in but i'm not sure yet? i've got a holiday coming up so the rebuild might have to wait.
let me know when you want to go to santa pod and i will come down.

i dont know these rich electricians buyin 2 nova's keep it quiet otherwise people will start to think were on good money :wink: :lol:
lol. if i do it then i don't want to be spending more than ?500 including buying the car. if it works out well the engine will go in my mate's nova.

New valves, valve seats, valve guides, ported, skimmed, inlet & Outlet matched to manifolds etc.. Pretty much everything, without going to bigger valves!
Was is Steven (gault) that informed you about your carb missmatch? Have you got the cam & carb fitted? Whats it feel like now?
Keith
yeah it was steven that told me. i didn't fit them yet because i had a track day at the weekend and didn't have time to get the cam run-in and set-up.
