Here is another one just for Jim! Been down to southampton today to drop Dan his new engine loom off and pick up my new car from him, thanks mate. Managed to make it back to Macc in one piece and now the modding can begin! Already sorted some 17's for it and a set of coilovers which shud be here on tuesday.

Here are 2 pics of it.

only joking. is this one going to get a 2.0 16v engine aswell?


Also, where did you get your wheels refurbed? I have a spare set of 17" Evo VII wheels that I want to get redone and I want a decent place to do them!!!

It only took me 45 mins to get there :lol:

Nova will be done soon, dont need to spend anymore money on that now, spent ?1300 on it over the last week and half that was on bits no one will ever see! The joy of a fresh engine build.

Wheels on my turbo were done by http://www.spitandpolish.co.uk/ and the corsas wheels are just been done black and are been done by my mate at a local place just down the road.

Corsa is going on the NL stand as well :lol:

From that pic it looks like its the inlet design that goes right down the back of the lump before coming back up to the throttle body and eventualy into the manifold. From what I can remember, mantzel do an inlet kit that removes all of the unessecary pipework and gives upto 10 brake straight away, even better if you have some extra work done to the head and cams.

Nova is still here but i might have a buyer for it, i just need to take it him so he can have a look at it.

Nar 17's and slammed is the way to go, got a set lay around so they are going on it soon.

Shud have the coilovers tomorrow so i will be fitting them as soon as they arrive.
