I would look into turboing my 8v as a project but I can't see the point when I can just fit a 16V instead.  :grin:

4wd is possible if ya fancy swapping floorplans. :P

Where all my moneys went.

Well mine may be for sale as early as next week if the missus gets her wish. If not then early spring for sure. If I cant sell it, its being broken unfortunately. Mechanically its absolutely solid, exterior lets it down a little but nothing someone with a small amount of cash or skills could'nt sort in a very short space of time. Its not a bad lump tbh, since the flywheel went in its great in 3rd between 3 and 5 1/2 thousand rpm/ I've put alot of time into this and its been a great learning curve, as I've never done anything with cars before I got this almost exactly a year ago.
Would love to see a 2.0 8v T.  :grin: Would be interesting to see what the performance and output would be, but I couldnt justify spending that amount of money on it.

Both are awsome, but no figures to give us a insight into what their producing though.  :sad:

I thought that but it's not easy to judge from video.  :undecided:
