get it bought, I've quite a few bits here that you could use if you need them, spare heads for practicing porting etc, valves, cams, you know how much I have lol

I'd stick to the 2.5 though and use the torque

just buy a turbo it deserves

bugger could be, I'm ok thanks though, I have one here, it's the metrot I'm puddled with.

test drove it before, if it wasn't shakey and the brakes worked properly it'd be awesome, at the moment it's just feckin quick, bit long geared because of the tyres, can't see 80 in 2nd being a problem :O would tell you, but I don't have a speedo

if it is the valves adam , i can't see it being an expensive job, the cambelt hasn't snapped and smashed its self to bits, could just be a single valve, although it would be sense to change others, £150 would see it sorted, and then cambelt etc are finished with
