Engine spec sounds awesome, should really fly next year.
1.2 beast looks tidy but them mk2 bumpers are aweful, sort it out boyo!
They were fre from his track car. but he is in the proccess of getting some more mrk1 bumpers.
Had a lot of questions recently on what exactly my plans are for the track car this winter. well after various discussions with people (mainly Chris Tunnicliffe, whome no matter how hard I tried, wont sell me his engine lol lol lol), i discussed a budget with my business partner after all the work weve been doing this summer, so basically, I have a plan.
Parts order from QED..
One piece hi flow valves
uprated valve springs
Q450 cams
1 pocketed piston (to add to the 3 i still have from my old lump)
A set of solid lifters
A set of steel Rods.
Block I have aquired from Dar will be sent off for a refurb, as well as the crank I got from him as well.
My gasflowed cosscast head which got nailed by the flailing piston can be repaired by a specialist. Basically he can weld the dent up, and then grind and polish it back to new, so ill be using that head.
Coupled to my yellow injectors, Im hoping that setup will give me scope for up to 250bhp, but im aiming for around 230ish with a better torque figure.
Im also hoping to couple that to an SCCR if I can stretch the budget that far. If something comes up second hand on egay ill probably nab it, the only problem with that is you cant choose your ratios.
So basically, thats it, and if I can make it last a season (lol) ill probably dry sump it next winter as well.
Spent today ripping the engine out of the car. My phones playing up though so couldnt get any pics of hole number 2 .
Lovely!! lol
Beejasus! Thats some hole!
i'v heard of one but two lmao
Cheers Chris, forgot you took some lol.
Facking hell, wee bit of damage there lol
New engine sounds cool.

lee when you fitted the rubber seal did you heat it up in the corners to get it to fit good or does it just push in the corners?
as i have just ordered some..
No heat, but teeny tiny midget fingers like Darrens helps a lot lol
C'mon... updates u slacker
It would appear I have sourced something nice to plug the big hole under the bonnet :)
But, I wonder what it could be MUAHAHAHAHA
Should I take some black and white pics?
Oh, and the car also has a new friend beside it to keep it company.
Proper update when the deal is 100% confirmed!

Spill the beans! Give us a clue at least lol
Ok, my guess is 2.2XE, think I may of read it in TV, or could of been dreaming
All will be revealed soon enough!
hope your not on msn, might come and nag and nag and nag you, untill you give in, and tell me what it is lol
i know lol :D
Knowing him he'll fill that hole with something with a hole in it.
Its a 1.8 8v spi.
really an 1.8 he was on about a 2.2xe lol wtf is this world coming to
Just Xe it you know you wanna
His old engine was a (very nice spec) XE and he put a hole in it, same with the one before, and the one before that and....
No, not that bad :) (I dont think)
Come on lee what you got!

I think i know what it is now.
lol ill guess on the same engine me and stu have in our non novas
lol at all the guessing, keeps me very amused!
More clues. It IS an XE, its higher spec than my first engine, and it comes from a well known nova on this site. But thats as far as im going until his thread appears to save him getting a barrage of emails and PM's!
Jesus, how many engines have I destroyed?? lolQuote:
