a t610 can handle a corrado. a k750i cannot.

Glad you're doing the brakes, you'll need them with 410whp!

 

Sounds like it's coming along nicely, it's going to fly!

hi

 

right tonight i will dig out the digi cam and take a few picks. iv not done much for the last few weeks - too cold to get motivated. on this project as over the end of last week i was fitting a new heater matrix. id rather fit an engine any day.

 

i am missing 2 items now before i build. it could have been done by now to a lower spec but im gonig the whole hog now.

 

i need a cylinder head done by cnc heads. i want to be able to run the lowest amount of pressure in the engine i can get away with. the work im having is around 1400 quid. then i need a diff fitting to my 02m gearbox. anothe grand.

 

got around 5k in the engine and box now.

 

i have no real deadline for fitment as long as im happy with it. what i have found is some ityems delay progress like samcos that take 3 months to arrive.

Had a good Christmas and New YEar. Are you getting a VW oil pipe or a gwerks one?

 

Downer about the MX5, better than my daily driver 84 vintage Camry wagon in faded worse than tornado red orange.

 

Just bought a 1600 GTI in Mars red as well while I get the work finsihed on the A3.
