Cossvaux doing it next week
Was a choice between spending shit loads on hoses and chrome bits and allsorts of other stuff to clean up the bay, or invest a little extra in a conversion.
What I'll get then is the GSi engine stripped out, any weldiing that needs doing done, engine bay resprayed,new bolts screws nuts,chrome bits, hoses.
Basically and bling bling engine bay
Will be done intime for PV Show too
Thats about it then for the car. Got it all now after 5years graft,slog and saving.

GSi engine is for sale btw

The engine for sale comes with the superchip. Thats why its up for that price chuck.
I'd prefer to go to an actual shop to have this done tbh.
Its getting done in a week for starters, maybe less. But the engine bay is getting welded and sprayed, all the bolts and stuff will be new. Everything done. you know what I mean.
Yeah it would save some cash getting it done by someone off here who knows what they're doing,but I just prefer paying that bit extra, knowing there's aftersales service there and then.
Not dissing anyone on here who is capable of this before anyone starts

Not engine minded at all so here's the thicko question Whats a LET, what does it do and how much extra we talking. ??
