And whats wrong with that... it's a good start for a car that weighs feck all. and later it won't take much to up it.

Nice progress mate!

200bhp will more than enough! A guy local to me has a Mk1 2.0 16v track car, gave me a good run up the motorway. His is much lighter than mine of course and I had 2 more people than him, but he has a standard engine, so 150-160.

when i recieved the engine the people who had removed it had snaped one of the down pipe threaded studs off so i had to sort this easy fix tho
