Yep it's silver. I have no idea how it looks. Is it ok? I don't want to spoil the surprise for you but to say you'll be pleased is an understatement that racing beat manifold will make your knees wobble I need a picture !!!!

It depends on when I can bag a lift down there. Either Monday or Wednesday. Hopefully that won't fall through. Unless someone fancies a long trip and I can pay for fuel, lunch and beers haha.

Timing is now being done.
I am collecting the car this Wednesday. Probably from very late morning / lunch time if anyone is going to be there? Although I won't be there too long as my girl will want to scoot off for lunch!

I had a good look round your car yesterday, look smashing and that exhaust is pure porn.

Ooooh, thanks guys It is pretty tidy isn't it. Not perfect, but a very good base car I thought. Once I have done all the upgrades I want regarding the engine etc, I will get it full respray to make it spot on. Hardly essential as it is clean enough, but I am a bit fussy! I am getting excited now. I cannot wait to drive down tomorrow and see it. I'll be in my Alfa on the way down, then get to drive my baby all the way home. YAY! I know I am dropping off the aerial for Horney. If anyone wants any of the bits taken off my car maybe just ask Nick? I'll let him know this forum can have whatever they want. Woop! Happy days!

Just spoken to Nick. Apparently my car is the strongest standard engined car they've had in the workshop. With the new filter and exhaust it makes 146bhp at the flywheel. So it's a good foundation for future tuning

That is very good! You will notice that power for definite.
Mine did 119 at wheels so 142 at the fly with jackson racing intake and maxim works manifold. Not bad i thought for a mk2 VICS engine chucked into a mk1
