    Default Pic update

    Pic update time.
    The little contraption ive bought to save anything like this happening again.

    fitted in the pressure line

    the new oil lines fitted
    q


    The engine pretty much installed and finished just a few odds and sods to do

    Finally I was having issues with my ****e fuel tank filler so decided to get this done


    Im hoping ill get it tested this weekend for the drive to track n road for the guru's to scare the holy hell out of me with the car.

    Cheers Gareth

    Small update seeing as its been a few months since I added to this. We had it down to EFI parts at the weekend and it made 253bhp @ 201ftlb I know it not quite the 275bhp as the title says but it's still a good achievement. So as long I can keep the car in one piece I'm going to see if I can break into the 12's with it.
    Video of the final run, watch out for the cheeky flame

    Hi mate there was last year probs not the progress that people were wanting but after the car made its debut into total Vauxhall I broke it up and sold it for bits, hard thing to do but it makes way for something else to be played with. So the car as it was is no longer

    That's an upset

    ~ That power curve looks proper similar to the old 1400 I had (beit on a higher scale), pick up is great after some lumpy low revs :D

    Yeah I know mate it was a good run unfortunately it seems the guy who bought the engine had his car stolen in the new year so chances are the engine is no more
