looks good dude! I love the random bolts, Ive got a big plastic box with dividers for all my spares vauxhall bolts :P
Airboxes FTW, I ran one on my corsa :)
Powercaps hmm, got a habit of killing torque and just generally considered a retrograde step to the sfi box.
What inlet pipe are we taking about?
As said its looking good, why the oil cooler? Most late ones dont have them...
^ think the plan is tracking it so wise to have an oil cooler fitted really
Good progress Ad, sorry but i had to laugh when you said about the snapped engine mount (it's normally me that has **** all luck like that!)
Solids FTW :thumb:
The one that's clamped straight to the power cap dude.Quote:

Agreed :)Quote:

Cant beat country lanes, windows down, in the summer :cool:
Benn-If vauxhall fitted a cooler to a xe in a std cav/cally, then fitting one on mine is definently a wise move imo
As i plan on caining the tits off this engine just like the old one :thumb: :D
And thats just what pipe came with the inlet.....
Ali-Ive got two SFi boxes spare so could try it with one, probably wont be that arsed about it though and just leave it as is now.
And yep, airboxes ftw.
Scott-Aye, i was suprised to see the mount fcuked, properly cracked straight through and would of probably fallen in two if i had used it :eek:
Got some solid mounts on the way off Ebay, £89 delivered
Once they arrive can get them bolted on, and the engine lifted up and bolted in. Then hubs/tie bars etc all back on, fuel tank on and get the car back on the ground. Its just the cage holding things up atm as i just dont have the time fit it.... Might even chuck my buckets, and the dash in, and just run it cageless for the time being. Want it at Nat day next month if i can.... Might be short for time though.
oi lolQuote:
