it's easy to rip these things apart, you certainly don't need to be a mechanic

my last engine came out and went back in fine,

this time it will be 10x better, going to sort some stuff out this time as i didn't get around to it when the engine wasout last time, taken all the sound proofing out, painting the bay up ect.
got to run the engine in then and decide if im going to put TB's on it or not

Not sure really. I fancy bolting on a vxr manifold/ turbo. Been looking into for a while now. We shall see....

Iv still got it, Its got everything but one side is stripped, Iv painted the hub cover and caliper. Idealy it needs bearings, discs, pads and inner handbrake shoes. Priced them up and its about £60. The complete hubs come up on ebay now and again, Theres a set on there now actually.

didn't go down too well with someone on here, would you run it with low boost on standard internals or would you go the full hog on internals

Meh.. Alot of people dont really know what they are talking about and just repeat something they have seen said before. I'm not sure what to do yet really.

Yours seems to be coming on nicely tho. TB's would be
