looks very very good

might be a good item for the redtop N/A boys? like a powerbox

being turbo, how much difference would this make do you think?

Well havent updated for a while, not much been happening, get my bottom end back tomorow, had it balance and grind on the crank, fitted oil squirters, decked the and bored the block for my pistons, cant wait to get it back and build it back up, got a few more bits for the rebuild in the meantime, and also making the inlet manifold again so all the ports are straight,

Few pics....

Didnt realise you had a Corsa XE aswell, jealous

Any particular reason why you removed the power steering?

I want your engine

I fell for the Jap Fronted VXR

cheers fellas,

Todays update is engine in and boost pipes made, also put 2 bends on to the intercooler so it now goes in to the engine bay. Sandblasted and buffed my tubular so should go some nice colours when it gets some heat in to it.
