oh thats sexy always loved them. =)

LOL, its ok, it has been a while haha.

Thanks Ginger, still a little way to go but almost there

Hi Sheila Ooooo!!! your new engines looking shweeet you and Steve must be happy bunnies now its finally in. Bet it sounds luvverly with the 4 branch

It sounds awesome Doug, so happy now its finally in. Ollie (Dubster with the Red MK1 Cabby) sold us a 16v Airbox and she breathes a lot better too now, ready for the Wurmod and tune at Stealth

Here are the results hope you like. We are happy with it. Took it for a road test after and she was like an untamed horse. Me and Steve couldnt stop laffing, I said 'I think we need bigger brakes lol' Need to get a solid engine mounts and the exhaust is having a reseal as with the movement, the 4 branch is knocking the Gumgum off and holes keep poking through. It will all be sorted soon, nothing major.

Anyway enjoy

Run 1 b4 wurmod and tune 160.2 bhp

3 after wurmod and tune reading where
171 measured bhp
168.8 flywheel @ 6658 Rpm
131.1 mph @ 7190 Rpm not bad for 4th gear

Really happy with it he also said it might naturally gain a few bhp once everything settles

Awesome work, sounds great too

Thanks

Right loads to go through I think. She has had a solid engine mount fitted , a full respray, was meant to be just touching up areas and getting rid of big dents but the guy screwed it up and had to fully respray her. She isnt totally finished got to go back for another 2 days work. Shes on coilies too now, so much better. only a couple of pics but you'll see how Red she is now lol.

Next to our friend Lauras Rado

that rado's lookin HOT REAL HOT

you gonna get some rado boys caps twitchin with that

Cheers mate Aready have mate. The old boys dont like it at all lol Forgot to add that dont think we will go any lower, scraping the splitter on speedbumps etc already.

Looking good!! Did you get the engine from matt @ Dubuint??

Yep sure did mate his mate Peg built it.

Thought I'd seen it somewhere before! Will be a bloody good engine coming from them pair!

Had a nightmare few weeks. Yes Stu it has been a bloody good un until the bottom end blew a crank shell We feared the worse but have been advised to get a bottom end as we could be replacing the shells forever as Matt cant determine the cause, due to the shell not being there at all. Found a 2.0L engine in Droitwich and Steve is picking it up today. All the expensive parts of the engine are ok thank god, ok its costing 150quid but could have been so much worse. More torque too

She's back and better than ever. Running as sweet as a nut and now has a bigger battery as she needs it lol

She will be going to stealth to be re-tuned on the rr and will at some point have a vernier cam pulley. Anyone got one they dont need??? for a 16v.

Hey Sheila glad to hear you've got the new engine all sorted now. Must have a been a bit of a knightmare blowing the bottom end after all the work you've had done on it, but £150 is pretty good to get it back to full health again. I'll have to come up and take a look sometime

Bigger Better Stronger

ps. say hi to Steve for me

AHH Cheers Doug, a lots happened since we last saw you, you got married!!!! Congratulations mate. Yes we will have to catch up sometime!!! Steve said Hi, will keep an eye out for you at shows mate. Bigger better stronger is the way forward
