looks GREAT

just wondering, the cage you have does it fit in the car without modifications to the dash board? and if so where did you get it from?

yes it clears the dash, but its designed for a corsa without sunroof so it needed modding abit to clear.

got it from balance motorsport

By my calculations you owe me just over £6!!

But you can keep it for "services rendered"
And no, that isn't meant to sound as dodgy as it does! lol

engine rebuild started today.. i have a friend that used to build race engines for a living so im getting top tips on how things are done properly, lots of learning.

Pistons and rods balanced
block cleaned
new bearings
freshly polished crank fitted
vauxhall gave me the wrong mains cap bearings and somehow my gudgen pin clips have gone walkies so only so much we could do.
