yeah i know, but ive always wanted to do this and now i may have the chance, id rather do everything i want to do before settling down properly. Its kind of a dad dad in law son bonding thing, my dad in law to be wants a kit car in the near future when he retires so it will be good practise  Come the time, we could just take the engine out and stick it in that

sure yeah, just really be prepared for not 100% smooth running all the time, lots of niggly little problems that do your head in etc. its a very very common thing for let's to just randomly melt plugs and pistons according to 50 million posts on migweb. its top priority, as tim will tell you, to make sur ethe car is fuelling right, as it is with most turbo's, but fit say the phase kits and it over rides a lot of the ecu safety features hence them being able to run more boost, and also blow up more often
