« on: 20 October 2012, 23:48 »


one day and the new engines in, just trouble shooting now!
the wire that reads the rpm was destroyed and it wouldn't start, so getting the part tomorrow.
Hopefully be back on the road soon! fingers crossed.

Ive updated my project thread if any of you want to see more photos :D

granted it's in a mk1 on standalone management but this would be the ultimate engine bay...

Hell yeah! That is really nice!
I've got plans to clean everything up, polished manifold and smooth rocker also polished.
I gave the engine bay a good clean while the engine was out also!
Just on a tight time limit I need it on the road!
