Thats just so you adjust your aims

Hopefully i will be pulling the engine out and apart this weekend, so we can truly see what has happened, but at the moment its 50/50 on a failed headgasket or a dropped liner, suspect number 3 cylinder based on current information.

Been out and bought some batteries for the camera, so it can be documented.

Is the Bannana alive again Steven ?

He's doing some strengthening work and machining for 14mm head studs, honing and skimming the block to head faces.

Then it's back to me to build the bugger with Cosworth internals supplied by Paul too.

I've had an R180 3.54 Diff turn up today, so things are at last moving again

More positive steven Its a headgasket. The turbo I want won't be as powerfull as the banana then we have the assive weight difference due to mine being a normal car. Well hopefully I will be at your dads on monday??? So I'll see you then

Anyone at TRAX last weekend ??
Really good show and huge turnout.

Ken Block has a new film for the net being released soon all based on his visit to the Trax event.
Look out for Fudge as they set up the cameras 4 feet away from me and asked if I minded them filming me while I was prepping the P1

The day was ruined by toooooo many PR girls walking around half dressed in high heels and stockings
