    Nah - if it was a jap style claim then it would be 1000bhp on a 1.4 single cam civic (Non-Vtec ftw).

    P.s. - Did i forget to mention its not standard ???

    tbs, managment, cams, 2x 3-2-1 manifold, l and b bottom end, and it will be me back out in front
    For how much ??? Probably more than my car cost lmao lmao

    If I spent the same amount on mine you would be crying into your coco-pop's wondering why the world is so hard lmao

    Want to get it on the RR to get the fueling checked & a quick health check while its getting prepped for next year.

    im looking to spend £1500 at the most on engine. got an ingenious way of getting throttle bodys involving triumph daytonas and my work

    doing the heads at work (might try a bit cnc head porting using the 4th axis), going to speak to cat cams for a new telly...oh wait wrong thing lmao then get a mate to talk me through balancing stuff then get that sorted, learn a bit about mapping (speak to the same guy. did i mention that he builds engines for race bikes and all the winning bikes in the scottish championship have his engines along with excellent results in brittish supersport and super stock so some of his knowledge should help)

    also been watching lee886 (sp) rwd vectra

    Sounds like a plan Still wont touch me though lmao

    £1500 seems like an awefully low estimate though I must admit - but if it can be done then it would be awesome to see imo

    Nah. Imagine if it was and they followed the Seat naming policy.

    Seat Rhine valley
    Seat Black forest
    Seat West Germany lmao

    although a Seat Nordschleife would be quite smart.

    Been on the fone all day! It go's like this! Council will rent a single lock up to you but there is a waiting list longer than the royal mile! They have industrial units but will only let them if you are a trading business! Newbattle abbey have loads available but........ they will only let to light engineering and arts and crafts folk! NOT cars!
    Ryden are arse holes!

    Asked a favour in from my step dads mate and he is going to speak to neil williams and a few others to see what they can do.

    Rant over
