Cheers Wherry  :cool: you made me blush a little ha ha
Shaun, second time that hose as split on me in the last month  :cry: first time it spkit near the connection so i managed a repair, the rubber on it does feel funny thi, engine getting re-built before the turbo application anyhow so hopefully should see me through til then if it is a head gasket fault.
Im lucky I can use the machines at work when I want  :smug:
Gonna go hunting for the 200bhp mark for the summer, i was pushing 184.5bhp with de-cat only so the bigger intake with port matched tb and straight through 2 1/2" Jetex should push me to around 190, and im gonna try out one of them chips for the ecu, heard good reports on the 8 an 16v so hopefully i will be impressed to  :cool: :wink:

Cheers Timberland, will be replacing all hoses for the build too  :laugh:

Not sure on the gold  :undecided:

Think a plain silver would go better!

Exactly what it is, plain!

Red and Gold just don't go!

Even Subaru's can't pull off that colour combo, Engine bay fine but I just don't like the wheels...

sorry  :embarassed:

Ok maybe not plain silver...but...


think Gloss white would look sweet, and will make the wheels look even bigger than they are...

anyway that's my 2p's worth... :grin:
