Looking good there Rob!

Have you got her back in your ownership now?

It'll still be quite spritely im sure!

Take your time, collect turbo parts, build another b18c4 (cheap enough)

Swap them over, run it in, map it job done. Thanks 600bhp!

It might not be that quick but it will be fun and reliable.

Id imagine it would be very similar to mine performance wise with maybe a bit more top end. As long as youre not on motorways or very fast B roads it will be good fun N/a

I did have another b18c4 engine ready to strip and rebuild but I sold it due to funds and I do have so new piston rings, arp bottom end bearings, arp thrust bearings and some skunk2 valves and springs :-)

Yeah it should be fun but not like a turbo

I'll be taking it on cadwel n/a too just for a laugh :-D

Standard exhaust manifold, I do have a 4-1 but they are shit so going to get a cheap 4-2-1.

That's all it has atm is a filter, inlet and cat back.

I am hoping to get some cam pulleys and fit my lightweight flywheel and crank pulley :-)

I doubt I'll see anything more than 180-185 brake but it's just a bit of fun :-)

Its just the fact your using the heart/engine from the opposition!

Admitting defeat and disowning the 4E-FTE!

What happened to standing up for the car you love and believe in!

You've built a Frankenstein Monster.

:p

It will be a weapon regardless of the above if you boost it Rob!

Cant fault you for being different... Its what keeps the scene thriving!

You do have a point, it is like admitting defeat but I havnt done the worst and just gave up and bought a civic :-P

Infact I've done good in buying a civic aerodeck and scrapping it but removing the lump and sticking it in the glanza haha :-P

Little update

My bonnet always used to sit on the piss because my strengthening bar that went from the top cross member to the bottom had been cut and rewelded (birdshit) and it was flexing alot due to the welds so it has now been sorted by replacing it with a much thicker bar and painted it which looks rather tidy :-)

How the bonnet sits now :-D

That's all until the weekend.
