So, last friday AlexB drove me up to buy this little badboy. Despite a few initial running problems it's lovely.



Future plans include:
6 branch manifold
Smaller pulley (or maybe even ditching the charger and going turbo)
Redoing piping (maf is in the wrong place)
Considering ditching the big bumpers and going for the early small bumper with chrome look.

Sorry if dubs aren't your thing, but i just can't get enough of this. *happy*

Jo, get the degree ticked off the list first of all buddy and then go from there.....plenty of time for projects once you have your own place and a decent job etc.

most of the day was actually spent broken down in milton keynes, lol!! When i got it the MAF was in the wrong place too, so it was really stuttery and then just took off, also the mpg was shite. So didn't really give it much stick.

The majority of stuff is sorted on it now so its really smooth and fuelling correctly.
